It pains me as much as the next BU fan that the Terriers will be
without Chris Kelleher, Shawn Bates and Mike Grier over the break
because of this Team USA Jr. team thing, but even if we lose the
two games over the break, the "poll people" are going to take that
into account.  Grier is the leading goal scorer on our team, and
I think second or third in the country?  Bates is amazing on the
break and probably the fastest skater on the team, and Kelleher
is arguably one of the best (if not THE best) rookie defenseman
in the country.
 
These games are both non-conference for the Terriers, so it's not
like they HAVE to win them.  I think it'll be a great opportunity
for the younger guys to get some ice time, and see how they can do
under pressure and in unusual surroundings.
 
Just a little something to make you feel better.
