        Fair enough, I'll edit "perfectly" to "very well".

        But what you, Salvo and others are not understanding, is that unless Trivino accepted that he needed help, then that "help" would not have been helpful. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

        Sounds like after the first there was some internal non published punishment, after the second he was suspended, then after the third (which we were told was minor) he was told that he needed help and there were zero more chances. Its a bummer that the fourth was this extreme of an offense, and not just that he missed practice because he was too hungover.

          I believe, based on a former BU player who now plays for another team in the city's twitter, he may be staying there.

            From everything I've read, over the long term, Parker handled the situation perfectly.
            Not in the slightest, I am a big proponent for swift discipline by coaches. While I don't agree he handled the situation perfectly, I take more issue with the BU administration than Parker as a coach.

              Hope the rest of the team can get through this and realize the season is not lost. Still a lot of talent and a lot of room for other players to step up *cough Connolly *cough.

                No doubt...

                What do you project for lines? Both long term and for the ND and MC games while Coyle and Clandenning are gone?

                  If anyone wants to read something not related to Corey Trivino and actually somewhat positive about BU hockey, we sat down with Sahir Gil yesterday and he had some pretty funny stuff to say including taking shots at the freshman and MacGregor and talking about Escobedo and Parker talking NY-Boston trash

                    Assuming both Coyle and Clendening make the US WJC team, I think the lineup for the ND and MC games could be:

                    Connolly - Gill - Chiasson
                    Nieto - Hohmann - Rodrigues
                    Megan - Gaudet - Cisse
                    Courtnall - Rosen - Gilroy/Santana (if healthy)

                    Escobedo - Privitera
                    Nicastro - Ruikka
                    Noonan - Macgregor

                      Nieto-Coyle-Cisse
                      Megan-Hohmann-Rodrigues
                      Courtnall-Rosen-Gaudet

                      For WJC games, I can see
                      Connolly-Gill-Chiasson
                      Nieto-Hohmann-Cisse
                      Megan-Gaudet-Rodrigues
                      Courtnall-Rosen-Gilroy (Santana?)

                      These are just guesses and lines that I could see playing well. There are other very feasible combos.

                        Why not? It's what they were supposed to do, yes. So good on them for doing it. We're not lumping high praise on them for it, just a relief for once.

                        Second, and again, this was before more information came out, what was done to maybe help this kid who had prior alcohol related incidents that may have helped this situation from every happening in the first place?
                        Can't really say. Basically Corey realizing he had a problem was the only thing that could have helped. Parker and his teammates could have tried to force him into getting help, but unless Corey believed he needed that help it wasn't going to accomplish anything. He could have been suspended again, but according to Parker that hasn't stopped him in the past. Unfortunately I feel like something terrible had to happen for him to realize the severity of the situation.

                              Glad to see that JackPa considers whatever Trivino did to be as serious as missing an optional team workout and not just a minor thing like nearly beating a guy to death. Personally, I think that if he knew of Trivino's drinking problem and did nothing to get him help, there's blood on his hands too.

                              I'll be the list that Nick and Jofa are putting together can reach the top of the Hancock tower.

                                Sheesh! It would be more convenient for the school and Parker to keep this quiet (if they even could.) While I'm no fan of JP, if the Boston Hockey Blog story posted below is accurate, I applaud the way he handled Trivino throughout his troublesome career at BU. Put the responsibility on the player's shoulders, and make him aware of the consequences in advance. (I was also struck by Parker's prediction that there would be another incident.)

                                I don't feel at all bad for Trivino. If he has any character at all he will eventually get beyond his present difficulties and recognize that he has a problem (Parker alluded to a sense of denial expressed by Trivino when a suggestion to seek help was made) and make the needed changes in his life (I suspect the court will have something to say vis a vis mandated treatment.) He's a young man, and can change if he is willing to accept the challenge. It's entirely possible for him to get out of this incident with minimal consequences and a chance for a new start, and I suspect that he will still have a career in professional hockey of some duration and at some level. It could be worse.

                                As despicable an act as attempting to force another human being to have sex is, he didn't kill someone while driving drunk, as Craig MacTavish (a UML star) did in the '80's when he played for the Bruins. No matter Trivino's eventual punishment, nothing could be worse than to look at himself in the mirror each day and see the face of a murderer.

                                Assuming the alleged victim's version of the story is true, I feel much more bad for her in terms of the trauma she may have suffered, and wish her the best in recovering from this attack.
