After Blaine posted a shutout in the Bruins last exhibition game for the Boston Bruins, I don't think he's back-up to anyone. He and Ryabchikov were the expected #1 and #2-Ryabchikov is now in Providence. Vinnie is going to be Lacher's back-up. Of course, that is difficult to say as a BU student, but if he can stop NHL pucks, it's no wonder he stopped most of our teams. :-) In an amusing side note: Clayton Beddoes[LSSU] and Jon Pratt[BU] were on the same line for the ProvBruins last night. The announcers were raving on what a great combination they were with forechecking skills. They also had a ton of guys from Bowling Green, don't ask me names. The game went 31/2+ hours on NESN, and I record these things so I don't HAVE to remember. >:-> ---Tamara
