      I think the firepower UC had could have made up for BW's departure. She's a great goalie, but if DT were around, I think they could have stayed in the top 4.

Their size, speed and maturity was evident in each period; especially the first. I do think that BC showed some signs of life after the first period, but given the dominance displayed by Clarkson, I think Coach King is going to have to do some searching for better matchups. Will be interesting to see the outcome of tomorrow's game. Also interested to see how Clarkson will stack up this year in the ECAC. They certainly looked very strong this evening.
          It also hurts that BC has only two seniors plus a fifth year, and only one junior. This team is incredibly young and is heavily reliant on its freshmen. The talent is there and it will come forth as the season progresses. The matchup for the first series was just not a great one.

            I think simply having an exhibition game might have done wonders.

              Since Clarkson has gone up to the D-1 level, they seem to have an affinity for playing up or down to their opponents. They've had some great wins against top 5 teams like SLU and then #2 Mercyhurst but manage to lose some games to ordinary teams. This team certainly has a ton of firepower; I think the big question will be goaltending.

              BC almost didn't seem game ready last knight. Maybe as one poster suggested here, an exhibition game might have worked wonders. I don't expect such a one-sided score toknight.

                I hope you're not suggesting CU played up to its opponent last night! Clarkson is a very, very good team and was really underrated in the preseason poll.

                As for your second paragraph, I agree with all of it. Should be a much better matchup.

                  I had the opportunity to see the game live. Clarkson was huge and gritty. They hustled almost none stop and just kept coming at BC. They are definitely deeper than one player. While Thibault is an amazing talent, they have several talented players, as seen by the number of different players that got a goal or an assist. The team is big, strong, tenacious, and are very well conditioned.

                  With regards to goaltending, I thought Dahm did what she had to do when the puck came her way. I believe the goal that was scored last night was a tip that was going high and directed down. She was a top goalie last year, so to say that goaltending may be an issue is from left field IMHO..

                  The band may not play in key all the time, but they add to the ambiance of the game. It was nice to see the support from the band last night and it seemed that they were having as much fun as the rest of the fans. It is my understanding that they are at all the home games and travel to some of the away games, something that can't be said for all of the women's programs unfortunately.

                  With regards to who stood out on the BC team last night: IMHO Restuccia is always fun to watch, just an all around solid player. Walsh is small but is fast. Bolden was shakey at first, but as the game went on she picked up her speed and physical play. As she adjusts to the college game, she could become one of the better players on the team. Boyle came in and made some solid saves and I would figure she will be the one in net today. As of right now, I am betting the starting spot is hers to lose this year. I understand that last night was the first game for BC and would expect that today will be a lot more competitive all the way around.

                  Just my 25 cents worth.

                    Why'd Thibault transfer?
                    I dunno, but I heard that Linstad's spine no longer bends backwards since Thibeault left.

                      Hmmmmmmmm, she does look much more limber on the bench right now.

                        BC 0 Clarkson 0 after two. Clarkson continues to pressure BC and is outshooting BC by a 2 to 1 margin. Boyles in net for BC has done a great job of keeping the game scoreless. Will see who has more legs and heart in the 3rd period.

                                Glad to see BC pull off the tie against a very good Clarkson team. Hopefully they can get a win under their belt on Friday. Although Syracuse is no pushover it's a game I think/hope BC can win.

                                Perhaps the opener was a case of some first-game-without-Schaus-and-Stack jitters? I wish they'd played an exhibition last week.
