For
the second time this season Joel Farabee has been named Hockey
East Rookie of the Week. The freshman wing scored twice—including the game-winner—in
Friday’s win against Arizona State and now ranks second in scoring for the
Terriers with 20 points. Patrick Harper, with three points in the 7-2 win
against Merrimack, and Jake Oettinger, with 68 saves in the two wins, were
named to the weekly list of top performers.

Defkit’s
Terrier Takeaway from Saturday’s loss to ASU
-
I thought BU played well in the first period, but as the game continued, ASU's
strength and experience showed through. The most noticeable deficiency was not having anyone in the slot area to follow up on shots. I think ASU just out
muscled us and we couldn't get to those areas. There were very few second
opportunities. By the third period, we looked exhausted and it was just tough
to generate any chances.
-
Joel Farabee had a rough game in terms of decision making. The biggest example
was making a drop pass to nobody (actually to two Sun Devils) when we had a
virtual 3 on 1. I believe the play led to ASU's first goal. On the heels of two
late penalties on Friday night, I think Farabee is likely going to be hearing some
thoughts from the coaches. He is clearly a talented player and he is having a
nice freshman season, but his youth is showing through against these older
teams.
- I thought Vinnie Purpura played well. He did
give up some pretty juicy rebounds but his movement and positioning looked
solid. The first two goals would have been tough to stop for anyone. The third
was just a great play by ASU to get it on net quickly before he was able to
cover the other post.
-
Jack DeBoer is looking better and faster than he did early on. However he took a
very dumb penalty erasing what would have been a full power play to start the
third period. Again, the youth factor.
-
I thought Dante Fabbro had a strong game. The more I see him this year, the more I
realize that he may be one of the best all-around defensemen we have had at BU
for some time, and we have certainly had some good ones. I can't see any way
the Predators let him stay for his senior year. He might need a year in the
AHL, but I think he has a very long NHL career ahead of him. A treat to watch.
-
Kudos to the ASU program for coming such a long way in such a short time. While
their strategy to this point may have been to recruit older players with size,
I have to think it won't be long before they start landing some USNDTP players,
especially if they get into a conference.
-
Looking ahead, I think BU could actually look better against a team like UMass
than against ASU, because of what they bring. I think this team can still make
some noise down the stretch, but I imagine there is no route to the NCAAs other than winning the HE tournament at this point.
