Friars take a lead .58 into the game on a fluke goal by Dugan. Unfortunately the penalties keep coming as Friars take 2 penalties soon after that second coming with 24secs left on the first. So much for staying out of the box.

First penalty and short 5 on 3 were killed.

Now trying to kill rest of second penalty.

Second penalty killed

Tyce Thompson with a penalty around 6 min mark. Friars kill that.

End of 1, Friars up 1-0, 3 penalties on them, 5 shots on goal...BU no penalties 4 shots on goal

BU is in for a long season.....we should not take much from this win, no competition at all and we still land in the box.....time to step up coach this must stop

That was a nice win. Freshmen stepped up, d and Hawkey were great, power play was effective. Too many penalties is the one negative...

Was in attendance for game last night. Strong showing. Nice rebound from tying lowly Sacred Heart. Just about everything was clicking except the penalties problem.

Good win over BU...got to beat the bottom feeders this year if you are going to compete with the powerhouse called UMass!

It is interesting that the freshman who was the most hyped has been the biggest disappointment in the group as he has looked tentative and hasn't shown off his elite talent yet.

Hawkey has quietly become the rock in the back for the Friars and needs to continue to play at an elite level.

Holy Cross has been struggling at the goalie position so if the normal starter (Nixon) isn't back, could be a slaughter in Worcester.

It's a good thing with all the penalties they have taken...

Re: Providence Off season Thread 2018: Insert Clever Title Here

I feel that being disciplined and playing smart is ultimately up to the players. Repeatedly taking penalties and putting your team in a rough spot is selfish when it happens more than just taking the necessary penalty here and there. Hopefully the Friars will get it together sooner rather than later because it will bite them when they play teams that can score. I read in a book once that giving quality teams the opportunity to play with the man advantage often results in them scoring more goals than you (which is bad when they add up the score at the end of the game).

Remember the good old days (1999 until Pooley left to go have a more pleasant career) when PC would routinely lead the league in penalties - too many of them being outrageously stupid - and we'd all just shrug and make fun of UNH fans for complaining all the time? Good times.
Now we commit too many penalties and it's something that needs to be fixed.

It can be corrected. Ideally,place the miscreants on the pines. Unfortunately, Leaman does not have the depth for this option. However, he can still limit the ice time of the culprits.

It will be interesting to see who sits on Saturday if O'Brien is back in the line up as he expects to be.

Easy win this weekend coming vs. the Cross. Discuss among yourselves.
