as for samuelsson, i dont believe there is a 2 minute penalty for complaining... he should have gotten 10 if anything.

That is what I said at the time as well, not shocked they got this one wrong based on their other calls.

BTW just saw a picture of BU giving a stick salute. I thought some of you took pride in the fact that they only did this after wins...did that change? Or am I off base...

This being the first home loss of the season, it appears to be this year's M.O. but our sample size is one. They didn't do it either of the prior two years after losses, so I was somewhat surprised to see it.

i wouldn't be surprised if it was just a, "uh, sorry" acknowledgement to those who were there..

They've done the stick salute every tie, too, so I'm thinking it's an every game thing this year.

Change in philosophy? I know some of you can't be happy with it because it cheapens the meaning!!!

I thought it was awfully nice of the NEWTON COLLEGE kids to honor all the Jewish folks in Newton by lighting up BU's goalies for the menorah last night.

Gibbons was definitely called for a penalty- 2 for elbowing. I have the box score right here. Whitney and Warsofsky were called for matching hitting after the whistles. Someone else served for Gibbons to start because he was cut and had to go to the locker room.

Did Gibbons elbow bounce off Chiassons head, hit himself and cut him? I bet that's what went down.
Gibbons is such a punk... he hurts himself!

As for BU, they'll come back tonight. It's a young team and their first rivalry game. They'll learn and it will be ok.

You think they can improve their skating overnight? I don't see it, but I've been wrong before. Trap, and they might be OK. Depends on the goaltender.

seriously, i hadnt given bu's gameplan a second thought heading into the game... i had simply assumed because of their record they were going to be pretty much up and down the ice with us... but i was surprised at how much of their gameplan was based on clutch and grab/obstruction tactics - it was like early 2000's all over again.

that small banner in the corner of the glass is actually a huge picture of jerry york and it says 'TRUST' down the side. it made an appearance at conte a few games ago and has been a staple ever since.

well i said that too! i meant its actually small in that picture you posted and i didnt even notice it at first glance. it took me a couple scans of the photo to see what you were even talking about, and even then i only picked up on it because i had seen it at conte before.
