Living in Eastern Mass, "He's a good goalie" is the ONLY complimentary thing I have EVER heard from anyone that has ever come in contact with Tom Barrasso. As a matter of fact, although I've never met him myself, that's the only phrase I've ever heard used to describe Barrasso that didn't have an expletive in it. I do not know him. I do not know what went on in that bar. But people around here all seem to think that the story is quite believable. *IF* what I have heard is true (or somewhat accurate), it's a good thing he did not go to a local college. By the way, FYI, when Bob Sweeney (BC) and Tom Barrasso were at Acton-Boxboro High School, they lost in the EMass Finals to Matignon 2 straight years, in 1981 (6-2), and 1982 (3-2 OT). I *believe* that this was about the time Steve Leach (UNH) was playing for Matignon. Just the humble bablings of a crazed hockey fan... Tony BU'92'93 Former Ogre
