He watched Vesey a lot. Didn't do him much good.

I was joking. He will be wearing #10 in the Black & Gold at some point and if he doesn't well, he wasn't really that good ;)

If I am Bjork and do not play in NHL this yer then no way I sign any where's till I can pick my own place. I am worried .

McIntyre, Grzelcyk, and Fitzgerald were drafted by Boston and played it out

Can't wait for 3 on 3 in OT

Bjork - Pastrnak & C-Mac on D as a unit

Terrible ending for Lowell. :cry:

That was a rough one. Everything they did so well in the HE Semis, they missed on today. I was really surprised that UML was the team that came out slow and disorganized...that Cornell game must have been rough on them despite the final score. Huge bummer, especially with de facto home-ice advantage.

Bjork is seriously legit though, he was unstoppable tonight. I'm rooting for ND to win it now solely because I want him to have no reason to come back for another season. B's need to sign this kid ASAP.

It was so refreshing hearing the ESPN analyst singing the praises of Bjork and how the Bruins are going to be very happy with him. He listed the skill set that Anders has shown during this tournament. Looking forward to the Frozen Four in Chicago and seeing more of him and, hopefully Ryan Donato.

Assume you are talking about Dave Starman? Must be killing him, he's a scout for Montreal.

Notre Dame certainly got the benefit of several non calls. :rant:

Always disappointing to lose. But, a great year for PSU's program. Have the school, facilities, fan support and location to be a Top 10 team for years to come. Need to keep Guy Gadowsky happy $$$.

Really disappointed at today's outcome with notre dame winning and keeping bjorks college season going another two weeks...what does this do for our chances at signing bjork? I saw Shawn hutcheon tweet that he would have signed after notre dame got knocked out if the Bruins burned his first elc year and brought him in right away. The frozen four ends On the same day as the Bruins last game so won't be bringing him in this year. At that point why wouldn't he just stay and play out his last college year and become a UFA. Officially worried we are going to get veseyed on this one....didn't think ND would make it to the frozen four

AS Providence stilll will have games, I would assume Boston could still sign him and burn a year playing in Providence, if there is no option to play in Boston then.

Teams usually use the ATO, but I don't think anything would block Boston from signing him and putting him there

Saw this tweeted out yesterday after BU lost and thought of it again with the Keller news and McAvoy talks. Warning - probably don't want to read it if you're a BU fan.

Normally I wouldn't even comment on what a bitter BC fan wrote but they should take a little solace in the fact that their beating BU at the Garden in the HE semi sent BU to the group of death in Fargo. BC would go on to the NCAA to play....oh wait they were not selected :laugh:

BU was never the same after 7 players went to the WJC's and while Quinn is a master recruiter he is not a good coach. BU's training program has slipped since Parker left and Mike Boyle is no longer around day to day.

It'll definitely be interesting to see if/how that affects their recruiting moving forward. They'll always have the draw of being BU and being in Boston and all that, but without Jack Parker, or possibly someone like a Jack Eichel, there do seem to be some cracks in that juggernaut they've built.

BU has sort of become the Kentucky of college hockey with these one-and-done type of players, but I wonder if some of these younger skill guys will start to shy away and go for more established teams for their 1-2 years. I know BU went into this year with huge expectations, but ultimately it may have ended up costing them....or this could just be an anomaly and they bring in another great class and win another championship next year...bast*rds.

I does seem strange to have a Frozen Four without a BC representative now, doesn't it? ;)

I read from a reporter that he expects both Macvoy and JFK will be leaving BU as early as next week

BEWARE MARK WITKIN ( Yes the same one from the old Sports Huddle)
