Bonin21, BC looked AWFUL on Wednesday against Maine, no sugar coating it. This afternoon they go out and take Providence down for the second time in a week. Still 8-3-2 in Hockey East. In second place for now. (Result of the NU/UMass game could change that.) I'll believe York has to go if the next two recruiting classes don't right the ship. BC got a commit from another useful player today. F Mike Hardman had been committed to Union. 6'2 210, 29g 27a 56pts in 45 gp for West Kelowna in the BCHL.
That’s nice but they also need an upgrades on defense
We need Santini and McCoshen type players on the blue line

Here's an exercise to help BC fans keep their head in the game these days...
* 1. Count the number of times BC connects on 3 consecutive passes before a broken play, turnover or dump in.
* 2. Count the number of times the other team connects on 3 consecutive passes.
Sterlippo thought up with this great idea during last nights BC/Lowell snoozer.
Warning... if you are already suffering from depression, this an't gonna help.

Yet another disappointing effort. A now a trip to Lowell tonight, which has always been difficult for BC even in the best of times. These are not the best of times.

Well, it doesn't help that they've mastered taking the "chase" out of "dump and chase"

No kidding. I was at the BU/ASU game tonight and bU and BC are identical at dump and suck. ASU beat them all night long to dumped pucks, and to pucks anywhere on the ice.
Amazing how similar the two Boston schools are in the way they play the game. Could this have anything to do with where the recruits are coming from ?It certainly isn't any fun to watch. ASU on the other hand... very fun to watch. Hustle every shift, tic-tac-toe passes up the ice, no dumping of passes to no one. Real Hockey with good hockey players. They play the game like BC teams of yesteryear.
My new game plan... going to travel the circuit watching teams that play a good brand of hockey. There's none of that at either end of Comm Ave right now. I'll be at BU next week however to see UMass. I want to see them, but I can't be at their game vs BC (thank God!), so I'll get to see them next Friday.
Final thought...How did the Eagles, the team as a whole, become so slow? Speed used to be the hallmark of Jerry York teams. Not anywhere near that today.
