I was wondered how long it would be before Peter Ahola was mentioned. ;-) I still think Chris is better than Peter overall and especially as a freshman. Dave was the first outstanding defenseman I saw play for BU. His loss was felt on the ice during the games he missed in 86-87, and the entire 87-88 season. As for Scott, I saw him play in 85-86 and 86-87. He was a good defenseman, but his temper kept him from being a great one. I still remember him being tossed from a game at Maine (he dressed and was watching in the stands when some Maine fans and his father got into an altercation. Scot literally jumped into the fray. He go away from secruity, but his dad was tossed out of the arena). I also remember a number of games in which he received penalties for charging. Overall, he had too many game and/or ten minute misconducts assessed against him. Mikes comments on BU's defensive weakness up front are true and I do agree with them. I still want to see Chris remain on defense, but his comments that Chris could help BU out much more as a forward have merit. I also agree that BU's forwards are smaller then a few years ago. I have not yet read much about the Hockey East rosters, and from Mike's comments on Merrimack, I infer that he believes that they will finish in the top of the league this year. If they are that good it will be a major achievement for them. It will also make HE even more exciting than last year. Sean Pickett - Go BU Terriers, 1994 Hockey East Champions! [log in to unmask]
