BU is currently trailing BC in the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional Finals by a 4-0 score after two periods, which includes a couple of shorthanded goals allowed.
*sigh*
Update: 5-0 final
”We were dominated tonight,” said BU coach Jack Parker, who admitted he was ”flabbergasted” by the outcome. ”We picked a bad night to have a not so good game for ourselves. And Boston College really jacked it up a notch or two. We didn’t control any of this game.”
(Note: If you can’t watch the game on ESPNU, you should be able to listen to the game at the BU site. Game starts at 4pm Eastern.)
Awesome! The Ice Dogs took care of the BC Eagles in the Hockey East finals 2-1 in OT.
Next they take on Nebraska-Omaha in the first round of the NCAA tournament this Friday, the 24th.
Go BU!
Somewhat against the odds, the BU Terriers have won the Hockey East regular season title! Wow!
“So we finish the season 16-2-2 in our last 20 games - that’s quite a run for us and might be the best run we’ve ever had since the 1978 team that only lost one game all year,� said BU Head Coach Jack Parker. “It was a great regular season for us and we get rewarded with the league championship outright. To enjoy the evening tonight - getting the championship and getting it in the style we did down the stretch is pretty nice.�
Yep. Pretty nice.
Thanks go out to the UNH team for beating BC in their season closer.
Boston University earns 27th Beanpot title
It was business as usual for the boys from Boston University on the second Monday night in February as the Terriers beat Boston College 3-2 at the TD Banknorth Garden to capture the 54th Annual Beanpot.
Effing sweet! Here’s hoping they ride this success through the rest of the Hockey East regular season and into the NCAA tourney.
“I think that we have the capability to do a lot this year and we’re not going to stop short of anything we’re capable of,” Curry said. “We’re going to enjoy this, but I think we have some big things in store for this year.”
Just to reiterate a fun fact: There have now been 54 Beanpot Championships. BU has won exactly half of them.
Well, it looks like the Beanpot will come down to the Comm Ave rivals once again. Boston College took care of Northeastern in the early game yesterday 5-2 and my BU Terriers topped Harvard 5-3.
Interesting tidbits from the USCHO.com notebook:
In the last three non-Beanpot meetings, Harvard has a 2-0-1 record against Boston University. In the last four times the teams have met in the Beanpot, Harvard is 0-4.
“In the first seven minutes of the first period, they outshot us 15-3. I called a timeout, and said to my kids, ‘Harvard’s pretty good, huh?’” — Parker, on the Terriers’ first meeting with Harvard, a 2-2 tie on November 22.
Boston University has won more Beanpots than any other school. If the second-nearest school, Boston College, were to win the title each year going forward, the Eagles would not catch BU until 2018.
The Ice Dogs meet the Eagles in the final at TD Banknorth Garden (just call it the Gahden) Monday the 13th. I wish it was being broadcast nationally…
