The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

Re: The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

A long, long time ago
I can still remember when Gerbe never made me cry.
And I knew if I had my chance,
I could do a Beanpot dance
And maybe I'd be happy for a while
But 2008 made me quiver, with every goal Gerbe delivered
Bad news on Babcock, a Beanpot was no longer a lock,
I can remember that I cried when I witnessed our lack of pride
Something touched me deep inside the day our Beanpots died

So why why did our Beanpot die?
Took the B line to the Garden but the dynasty was dry
And good ol' Jack was drinking whiskey and rye, singing...
This was the night I saw Gerbe dive
This was the night I saw Gerbe dive

The quality of song parodies has taken a dive as well. Eesh.

This tournament has struggled to maintain its relevance IMO. In part because BU had dominated it for so long. BC is now the culprit.

Bingo. Until you start seeing a legitimate toss-up for a tournament it will not go back to the days of old. Harvard or Northeastern needs to win the **** thing.

NU would have won (decisively) in 2011, and maybe last year, if it had a legitimate D1 goaltender. Now it has one. Really!

Uh, NU would have beaten the most talented (not "best") BC team in recent years "decisively" if they had a different goalie between the pipes? If you had a better goalie, we don't know how that game would have unfolded. Could have been an entirely different type of game, more tight checking, etc. NU may have won, but I'm fairly confident it wouldn't have been decisive.

When they had thiessen they didn't win

No way we win last year, that team was terrible. 2011 if you switch Rawlings with Witt we might win but that was a pond hockey toss up. Either way, we lose because of futility not because of bad luck choosing goaltenders.

Haha... well done!

The fan boys wouldn't recognize a good lyric if it broke their wrist.

Must spread rep...

Since Gerbe's first dive BC is 11-1 in the Beanpot

A long, long time ago...

Don McLean would have been proud (not)

But I thought you would finish the lyrics:

And the three men I admire true
Gerbe, York and Gaudreau too
They sailed away into the blue
The day the fanboys cried

I think you can make a better argument that the 2011 NU/BC semifinal might have been different with Witt instead of Rawlings. BC scored 2 "cream-cheese in the oven" soft goals in that one.
