The Lesson

Never bet against Boston University in the Beanpot.

After falling behind early, Boston College took control of Monday’s championship game halfway through the second period and outshot Boston University 26-10 through the last 40 minutes of regulation.

“We looked like we were waiting to lose,” Terrier coach Jack Parker said.

But in overtime — after playing relatively little through the last two periods following an injury to Eric Thomassian — junior Brian McGuirk picked an opportune time to score his first goal of the season, burying a high wrister glove-side off a faceoff at 5:06 of overtime to give BU a 2-1 win and yet another Beanpot championship.

Sweet! (I’m bummed that I forgot to listen to the game, but it’ll be OK.)

    I’d say they are a college hockey dynasty in the Northeast.

    Jack Parker is a golden god nation wide — most people just don’t know it.
