From the "things you don't see every day" department...BU's freshman goalie hit the ice for warm-ups 1 minute earlier than he was supposed to (before BC entered), leading to BU being assessed a bench minor delay-of-game penalty, and BC starting the game on the powerplay, during which they scored what ended up being the GWG (24 seconds into the game):

I saw that during the Rangers game yesterday. Serves them right for trying to pretend they are a pro team. So what, every freshman in his first game is supposed to take a rookie lap? Obnoxious

Yegorov!!! Beloved. Devils prospect. Apparently the BC staff opened the door to the ice early and Yegorov (who's only played in the USHL to this point) took it as an invitation. Pando (BU coach) was SPITTING mad about it (apparently, if something like that happens, custom is to decline the penalty because it's not really BU's fault). Wasn't a rookie lap at all, VIEWfromK.

Some of the BU fans are convinced it was and that Quinn Hutson was responsible since Pandolfo elected to have him serve the penalty, despite being their best player. Although I don't really follow BU enough to know if Hutson regularly takes PK shifts or not.

I have a friend who does stat tracking for BU and that's what he's saying happened, plus if you watch Pando's postgame he complains about it too. Quinn Hutson is NOTTTTTTTTTT their best player LMAO. You might be thinking of his brother Cole Hutson?

Isn't Quinn their scoring leader (which I realize doesn't always equate with "best")? Is Cole thought to be the better prospect?

I know Eiserman is the really highly touted one, but again I don't follow BU enough to know how much those expectations have translated to on-ice performance.

If I were the BC Athletic Director I'd give that person a raise! ::popcorn::

Cole Hutson is for sure better than Quinn Hutson, but Cole plays D and Quinn plays F. Cole Eiserman is probably going to be the best NHL forward currently on the team, born goalscorer. For context, Quinn is a junior with 26 pts, both Coles are freshmen with 21.

From all I've understood, the forwards and defense are fine, but the goaltending has been really terrible this year and has cost BU. That being said, Yegorov looked really solid in his debut and it's assumed that he's going to be taking over starting goaltending duties from now on.

Taking over from the former Brown goaltender Caron, who just hasn't looked the same since transfering to BU after two years in the ECAC.

He was fine last year, I thought, but this year he fell off a CLIFF. In the words of BU friend in the context of Yegorov's glove use, "It's a big departure from BU's other goalie that has mostly started, Caron, who completely forgot how to use his glove this year". In our DMs, "chewy had a good BU career/i wish him luck with his medschool apps"...

Decline the penalty? Never seen that and don't even think you can do that.

Supposedly if it's a penalty of that sort it's possible to decline it? I'm not sure. I'm just going off what my friend said, haha. Supposedly it's enforced at refs' discretion, too.

Can't the opposing coach just put out 4 skaters for a de facto decline?
