Three BC Hockey Players Involved in Accident With the T

Parker Milner, Phillip Sameulsson, and Patrick Wey Among 8 Involved in Crash


Alright, so we never wish ill will on people here at Two Man Advantage, no matter how idiotic their actions, so let's start off by saying that it's a good thing nobody got freaking killed in this whole fiasco.


Let's break it down.  Seven or eight kids, depending on where you look, all freshmen, are in a jeep.  There's beer cans and a bottle of vodka in the jeep.  The jeep tries to make a U-Turn across the T Tracks, and in the process cuts off the trolley.  The jeep gets side-swiped by the T.  The kids toss the booze out of the car, and three of them, including Milner, bolt from the scene, while the rest of the kids are stuck inside the jeep.  The cops and fire department get there and they need the jaws of life to get the other kids out of the busted up car.




Obviously, acting like clowns is not exclusive to BC athletes.  Division I athletes all over the country seem to think they're above everyone else and do stupid shit.  (See Oregon Football not once, or twice, but three times this off-season alone.)  But this one is pretty bad.

It would have been pretty bad if these 18 and 19 years olds were dumb enough to be drinking in a car while driving around Boston, and go on to smash their car into the T.  And i'm not indicting these freshmen for drinking.  Anyone with a brain understands that college kids are going to drink.  But anyone with a brain will also realize that it's an insanely bad decision to go drive around the shit show that is the streets of Boston after, and while tossing a few too many back.

But beyond their first mistake, their actions after the crash are what make it really bad.  Milner, who played like a pimp in goal for the Eagles when he got his shot this season, apparently ran out of the car and away from the scene after the accident.  This wasn't a fender bender.  His teammates and friends were stuck inside a car that just got hit by a train, and had to be taken to the hospital.  But little Parker wasn't sticking around to make sure his buddies were alive.  He was worried about saving his own ass, so he took off.

Way to be Parker Milner.  You've just become my number one most hated Eagle.
