Hope these links work.

And since the links work, here's one more

and I promise I'll stop now.

Wow, that's terrific - good to see they're working on getting strong defensemen to replace the defensive trio of Murray, Bell, and McRae.

What I like is that they beat out a big swinger in Michigan State for him.  Hopefully, he will take over Murray's spot on the powerplay with Cook or Pegoraro on the other point.

Now if Mike could recruit the NAHL's Anthony Zancanaro and Carmen Posteraro and put 'em on a line with Dan Pegoraro...then I'd really feel good about next year. ::nut::

Might not make Adam Wodon's day, though.  ::uhoh::

Doesn't BU have a mite sized player named Zancanaro?

[CowbellGuy]

Yep, Brad.

A team with food poisoning issues gets a guy with a name close to Salmanella.  I guess that works.  ;-)

This is truly good news. We'll see if Schafer permits him to continue to be the risk-taking offensive defenseman he appears to have become.

What's up with O'Byrne? Hooboy, I'd love to snatch one from Maine and one from Michigan State in this class.

Salmela is a good, old-school Finnish name. Wonder if he's a cloaked import, like Doug.

When did the rumors start the LeNeveu might not come back next year?  Better question is where did the rumor start, on campus or amongst this board?

[RedFan]

Feels like it's starting right here and now.

[DeltaOne81]

Nah, last year's April Fool's Day edition of the Sun said that Murray and Lenny signed professional contracts. If it was said after his freshman year (which is was), it'll be said every year. Let's just hope it doesn't come true for another two and a half years.

> What's up with O'Byrne?

Presumably he's visiting campus this weekend, or at any rate very soon.  It would indeed be sweet to land him as well.  Why rebuild when you can reload?

One of the other threads today is spreading the idea like it is April 1 today.  We could rename it the paranoid doomsday scenerio thread.
