I am torn. My kid goes to Penn State, but we have two players on the BU team.

You root for your kid to be happy. As a parent that's non-negotiable to me.
what if they somehow chose to be a Ranger fan?

What child?
I'll likely be rooting for PSU. But it makes it easier to live with either result.
When my oldest moved to DC I told him not to come back home with Caps or Commanders gear or he's sleeping in the back yard.

It will be easier to make a will.
To me that may be thr funniest thing you’ve posted. Given English is not your native language it’s even more impressive. Really great work.
He's a bigtime Devils fan which is good. Just isn't much of a prospect follower.

super delayed start was annoying, thisll be a little abbreviated
really good stuff from yegorov again. made the saves he needed to, made a number of saves he didnt need to. backstopped another big, big game. what more can we ask for?
BU D support was actually decent tonight, so he had more help than ive seen in other viewings. probably couldve been a little crisper, too. beyond the rebound control/swallowing thing, i thought he couldve been better with his angles along the post and pushing off more cleanly but i mean...our ushl D+1 goalie is about to start in the national championship game. what is even happening
a very good western michigan team will be waiting for him on saturday. cant wait to watch
- had a big 2 on 1 save, looks like PSU pre-scouted him getting beat low blocker last couple games but yegorov was ready. otherwise wasnt challenged much in the 1st, most dangerous chances were either shot wide or didnt reach him. tracked pucks well, stayed square to shooters, was quick to react, presented well, etc. didnt cleanly swallow pucks or direct rebounds, but wasnt a problem either
- PSU better in the 2nd, yegorov saw more action (more overall shot attempts, more shots through traffic, pk time, etc.). had a massive SH breakaway save, also trying blocker side. in the spirit of being a devil he, too, randomly fell behind the net late period
- got beat early 3rd. good first save on a tipped shot from the point, led to a scramble outside the crease. made a couple nice stops at the top of the paint, but the rebounds kept going out front and D couldnt clear. another scramble (more near post) mid period that he held strong on down low, some nice pad saves there. if he can eventually get to/cover these pucks a little more quickly, he'll save himself a lot of grief
- started to get peppered even more as the 3rd went on, particularly late, but he held strong and kept himself on top of play

Yegorov’s fairytale second half continues
On Jan. 10, Mikhail Yegorov lost his 13th game in a row with the hapless Omaha Lancers team. Three months later, he made 32 saves on 33 shots to backstop the Terriers to the national title game. In between, the Devils’ second-round pick won the Beanpot and celebrated his 19th birthday.
His decision to leave Omaha and the USHL and enroll at BU for second semester has been a fairytale for him and the Terriers, and now he gets a chance for the storybook ending. He has been lights-out for them since his very first start back on Jan. 25, playing to a save percentage above .930 across 17 games. The talent and upside has always been there. He’s a 6-foot-5 goalie with superb athleticism. He’s also a delight to talk to and seems to have a great head on his shoulders. Once he gets into the gym and adds the right kind of muscle to his lean 180-pound frame, the sky looks like it’s the limit.
“It has been great coming here and getting a chance to play and sticking through the whole season. (My teammates) have treated me as if I was a part of their team for four years,” Yegorov said when asked to put his whirlwind season into perspective. “Now we’re going to play in the national championship and it’s kind of unbelievable.”
He has turned me into a big fan and the Devils were right to look past the difficult situation he was in in Omaha and make him the second goalie off the board in last year’s draft.

Big Mike ain't playing around.
Except here, I guess. He's gonna fit right in when the time is right.

the fact that 3 months ago he was on an abhorrent USHL team and now he is 1 win away from a National Title at 19 years old is something else man

I passed out shortly after puck drop. Why was there such a delay?
Insane our guy is one game away from a national championship as a freshman.

I guess he will play in NCAA next season. There were no U20 regular goalies in AHL in the last 10 years. So he will have time to work on the technical stuff in controlled environment.

If any of our children choose to be Rangers fans, then we have failed as a parent. Such an occurrence would be 100% on us.

I’ve heard him speak before but I’m surprised how good is English is. He always has a smile on his face. Seems like such a nice kid. Easy to root for! I’m trying to temper my expectations but I can’t help but think we may have hit a homerun with this 2nd round pick! We haven’t had a great homegrown goalie since…I dare say, Brodeur.
makes me wonder how Brodeur acted when he was a young goaltender and if he was this smiley/confident/ and focused. Maybe some of the oldies around here can give some info on that.
