OSHIE From the Sioux to the Blues

Well it looks like he is on his way to the Blues.......TJ you are one of the best......

Who's Who for BU - It could happen

Just think if the "stars align" next year the team could have the Gilroy Boys; Matt and Kevin, the Saponari boys Victor and Vinny and Zach and Colby Cohen (no relations)…Yikes…. Bernie Corbett, the play by play announcer for BU and one of the best in the business will have his hands full.

Is this really a surprise?

Is this really a surprise that Jack Parker let Brett Bennett go (See The Daily Free Press)......I don’t think so. BU has three young goalies in the wings and it’s time for a new era in net.

Last year was a disaster. I know what you are thinking, how can a second place team in Hockey East be considered a disaster…..bottom line they did not make the tournament by a few games….Robert Morris ring a bell. Lets be honest it wasn’t Bennett’s play that propelled the team post Beanpot it was the play of the defense in front of him ....and lets not forget the scoring by the MacArthur line.

I am excited to see what happens in net next year. The defense in front of the net will be pretty much the the same as last year ...... a good opportunity for a young goalie to take over the post Curry era.

BU will have a trio of goalies including current member of the Terriers, Adam Kraus, the two new recruits of Kieran Millan, and Grant Rollheiser…. .. Rollie is 6-4….wouldn't it be interesting to have a “Ben Bishop” like goalie.

What are the chances

Ok the Bruins lost game seven but I have a funny pre- game seven story. My friend and I decided to check out the pre Boston Marathon festivities. As we are walking home and she spots a man wearing a Yale Hockey jersey and yells to him "Chris Higgins" … he walks towards us and says he is his Godfather .... after a few laughs he went on to say that Montreal will win game seven and Chris will have 35 goals next year… So far he was correct on game seven. We knew this was going to be a bad omen for the Bruins.
By the way my friend correctly pointed out that Higgins was in the middle of a fight during a game between the Sioux and Yale a few years back…. .. She is so SMART…….

Beginning and Ending in a FOG

This year's Fighting Sioux season started with playing in the October Fog at Boston College and ends with a Boston College performance in April that left us all in a fast moving Fog.

There have been a fair amount of negative comments from SIOUX fans. I am not saying fans can't criticize the performance of a team, "the boys" did not show up for the biggest game of the season. However, at the end of the day these are college kids who feel just as bad as we do.

However, it's easy to forget how lucky we are that we have a Team and Coaching staff that has been to the Frozen four.....four years in a row. How quickly we forget the unbeaten stretch, the comeback against Denver and the excitement in Madison.....Kozek Scores!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in Boston I also follow BU, coached by the infamous Jack Parker. They have not been to the frozen four since 1997.... and we all know who they lost to in that National Championship.

Even though the Red Sox have won 2 World Series in four years........I have been a long time Red Sox fan and I have learned how to deal with disappointment....its all about next year.

So therefore, I am looking forward to the Sioux attending the ICE Breaker in October hosted by BU. I just can't wait until the 2008-2009 season................
