Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

[J.D.]

So, Jim Connelly has Chad Krys as 1st Team All HE. What you think?

I think he made a mistake. That is a choice totally out of left field. He didn't even pick Bryson who should be the clear pick. 2nd guy maybe panico.

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

The ties vs. UMASS and UVM, and the L @ UCONN is what ultimately costs them any chance at an at-large tourney bid. Those are 3 games they very much should have won; it would've resulted in a 20-12-2 reg. season record and very likely somewhere around 13th-15th in the PWR based on my guesstimation.

Flip the two ties to W and the UConn L to a tie and BU is 16. Flip all three to wins, BU is 14.

Wow. That’s so disappointing.

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Has anyone on here had but opted out of their season tickets? If so I’m wondering if you have any regrets?

It would be a big step for me... had season tix since 1994.

Nothing negative towards the team, just that with life being busy and my own kids activities, dealing with traffic driving into the city from the burbs, etc I have been to at most half the games over the last few years and have not even used every ticket we have to the games I’ve been to.

I’m trying to justify it... I like my seats, but apart from that, you can buy tickets to any game you want. With the Beanpot not being a big draw anymore, I don’t see much benefit to the priority points. From a pure dollars and cents perspective it would make sense to opt out.

Not sure what to do?

Mookie cut to one seat. It was empty the entire year. Mookie thinks of it as a $$ gift to the school.
Keeps his points intact along with the consecutive whatnot.

Fabbro.

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Fabbro.

1st team? don't see that one happening either. other guys have more points and better plus/minus. I realize that is an outdated stat but unless college hockey has advanced metrics people look at it, not sure an eye test is enough for him to be picked.

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

I don't think there is a clear guy to go with Bryson though. Panico, Davies, Kim all in consideration.

Whoops! Freudian slip...

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

It doesn't affect the other matchups, though, because the winner is locked into the 7th seed. So...

Let's try this again

Here are the seedings:
1. BC
2. Northeastern
3. PC
4. BU
5. UConn
6. Maine
7. UMass/Vermont
8. Merrimack

So here are the matchups:

Merrimack at BC
UMass/Vermont at Northeastern
Maine at PC
UConn at BU

"Is anybody alive in here, anybody alive in here, anybody alive in here? Nobody but us..."

What a strange season it has been. On the one hand, I could see the team losing this weekend, and it going down as DQ's most disappointing season so far. On the other hand, given the talent, this team could hit it's stride and go on a nice run, with a Beanpot title game rematch to earn an auto-bid (I don't know if they would actually meet in the final or prior to it).

I'm going to predict BU wins in 3 games this weekend.

I tend to agree. I would LOVE to see a sweep but given the schizophrenic nature of this team, that’s probably not likely.
