I spoke with BU SID Ed Carpenter today. Since Ed is without his top two shot chart people, I will be doing the chart at BU Friday night when Merrimack plays the Terriers. One hand washes the other. Ed says that BU D Rich Brennan was injured in the second period of the Providence game and will be out for three weeks. I did not see the play on which he was hurt. As far as I know, Merrimack will have available goaltender Martin Legault, as well as D Eric Weichselbaumer who missed the UNH game with a sore wrist. Oh yes, for all the bad raps WEEI radio has taken on HOCKEY-L lately (and I tend to agree with the posters), I caught part of Ted Sarandis' show this evening (Thur) while driving home and Ted concentrated on college hockey from 6 to 8 pm. He had Bob Norton of NESN in studio. Phone-in guests included Northeastern coach Ben Smith, Director of ECAC Hockey Joe Bertagna, and UMass-Lowell captain Jeff Daw. A big thumbs up to Ted for giving college hockey such a large chunk of air time, and it wasn't even during the Beanpot which is usually the only time you'll hear a lot of college hockey talk on WEEI. I hope it will continue in the future. --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93
