Just a (not so) memorable moment from Hockey East..... While walking to a reception following the BU win over UNH last Saturday, I noticed a young friend of mine favoring his shoulder. I asked him what was wrong and his reply disgusted me. When the BU players were leaving the ice Saturday night, Patrick asked of Jacques (and his rather large nose), "Are you going to build a ski lodge with that nose?" Instead of taking the customary action and letting the comment of a young fan pass, Mr. Joubert found it necessary to slash Patrick in the shoulder and retreat to the locker room. Maybe I'm not getting out enough, or maybe I've grown to believe that DIV. I hockey players are like those at UNH--fine athletes and examples to all of the young fans who follow them. Either way, this was not a proud moment for Mr. Joubert or the B.U. Hockey team he represents. Rather than slashing this 11-year-old, Mr. Joubert could learn from Patrick who summarized the incident by saying, "I can't help it if the guy's an idiot." Well put, Patrick.
