Old Guy Sport Thoughts & Comments

Big game Friday night when the 13th ranked Boston College hockey team takes on Boston University at BU's Agganis Arena. Game time is 7PM and the contest will be streaming on NESN. The BC vs BU rivalry is one of the most played and emotional college hockey contests. Boston College has 5 or 6 Boston Bruins draft choices playing for the Eagles. BC's James Hagens and Dean Letourneau are Bruins draft choices. Both players were recently nominated for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award which is given to the best player in men's college hockey. Some like to refer to the award as the Hockey Heisman. Boston College 's players David Emma, Mike Mottau and the late great Johnny Gaudreau (a/k/a Johnny Hockey) are prior Hobey Baker Award winners.  So if you are a college hockey fan don't forget to catch the game on Friday night at 7pm EST. GO EAGLES. 🦅🦅🦅🦅 Bob

Most importantly I think every player on the Pats LOVES football and no one is worried about their contract. Now to the game. On offense the "Ki...
