Didn't seem to be much urgency tonight.

Bob Ellis said the same thing. He didn't think that Lowell erally played all that well, but he was impressed they were still able to stay in the game playing that way.

I couldn't tell how that first one got in. It looked like Conner was in good position.

Goalie was in good position. Gaudreau fired at a little hole between shoulder and post. Almost like Johnny curved it in there because he was behind the goal line and puck was on the goal line when he shot. He hit the far post and puck deflected in.

Most folks see this play and pass it off as a fluke goal. Anyone that sees Johnny play every night knows this is not so. Frickin' incredible what this kid can do with the puck... he brought me out of my seat yet again, with the typical, 'Holy chit! Did you see that?'

Might have bounced off Connors side, wasn't a good angle to shoot. Sad thing was that Chapie had skated the puck into BC's zone and probably could have skated around the bc net or taken a shot or at least dumped it further in but instead stopped cold and tried to pass it backwards. Got intercepted just outside of our blue line and set up a 2 man rush which Gaudreau took all the way. More random observations: Lowel got beat bad in toughness, hits and working the boards. Colantone, McGrath, Pendenza and Campbell played gritty but our defense especially looked tentative and slow. Lot's of coasting around. Gaudreau is sneaky, always seems to be open and was really disruptive when Lowell had the puck. Couldn't believe how slight he is, wish we could get a big hit on him. Mcgrath could level him I bet. Was surprised to find the BC crowd to be a little weak. % of people really paying attention seemed low. I expect Tsongas to be much more rockin tonight, especially if the team shows some heart.

student turnout wasn't great last night for bc.

that's the thing with gaudreau, very hard to line up for a big hit. he'll make you look foolish.

Something was going on. All the kids were drunk and dressed to the nines last night bolting the campus when I got there around 6:45.

All the kids were drunk

I thought that was the norm at BC?

Since the back-to-back loses to the Q, Lowell's done pretty well after a loss this season.

Lost to NU, beat Princeton.
Lost to Maine, beat Canisius.
Lost to NU, tied Maine.
Lost to PC, beat PC.
Lost to BC ... ?

That's a pattern that needs to be broken.

That bodes well for next year's season opener.

What's up with 5 flags hanging for 2013? I mean you had a really good year but 5 flags??

In my mind it should be 4. Lose the regional champions one, the frozen four one means the same thing. one more NCAA appearance probably consolidates those 6 to 1.
