Title: ECAC Early Departures
Post by: Trotsky on March 29, 2015, 05:26:00 PM
It begins. (http://www.uscho.com/2015/03/26/colgate-junior-baun-bolts-school-to-sign-with-chicago/)

Quote from: Colgate junior forward Kyle Baun announced Thursday that he will forego his senior season and sign a free-agent, entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.

I guess this fits here as well as anywhere. Harvard cheaters' waiver denied:

That's about as big as off-season ECAC news gets, and it probably drops Harvard from a bye probable to a .500 probable.

Good.

With the return of Jimmy Vesey, I'd expect Harvard to be good next year.

This is fine, but now I'm just more upset over the decision to give the entire Duke Lacrosse team a 5th year.

How does the outcome in this case inform that one?

They were screwed.  Harvard screwed themselves.  Seems consistent to me.

I don't want to start a Hockey East departure thread so....Screw BU! (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/jack-eichel-leaves-bu--signs-entry-level-deal-with-sabres-191958652.html)

If anything, this changes the landscape of the MSG game.

And since we're all experts on analysis of coaching prowess, I found this amusing:

BU did reload -- 3 of their guys were 2nd round draft choices last week.

Given that the suspension of the season was a unilateral action by DU, why wouldn't you say "Duke screwed themselves"?

I'm talking about the kids.  The Harvard kids cheated.  The Duke kids didn't do anything.*

Not an early departure, but a departure. Colgate's new rink to be called the Class of 1965 Arena. (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/members/colgate/20150107_Class_of_65_Arena) Sounds like the 60s were good for them as well.

Pretty powerful name for the rink.

The real question at hand: What do we call it? I'm not going to waste my breath saying "I hate Class of Nineteen Sixty-Five Arena as a venue when those idiot pizza-chucker students bother to show up" when I have been using the phrase "That shithole, Starr" all these years. I nominate "Ass Arena," or in the spirit of calling Gutterson Field House "The Gut," how about "The Ass?"

That's good.  Or one could go with something like "Classless".

Actual Colgate departure. Ryan Johnston leaves early. http://www.gocolgateraiders.com/news/2015/7/13/MHOCKEY_0713150620.aspx

Not exactly an early departure, but Yale lost both of their assistant coaches (http://www.uscho.com/2015/08/31/white-leaves-brown-staff-is-reported-to-be-replaced-by-yales-guerriero/) this off-season.
