Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
Now you're off the deep end, we're in the top 10 in goals scored at 3.38 a game. http://www.uscho.com/stats/overall/d...men/2011-2012/ That's hardly having trouble putting the puck in the net. We also lead the nation in SHG, not that it's a very definitive representation of a powerful offense, but it's an offensive stat nonetheless.
I don't know how far the team could've run with a full roster, but I will say they were definitely starting to gel and get into a rhythm heading into the break. Even the loss to BC at home, they played good hockey against a BC team who was amped up to hell to beat us for a couple of periods before it was garbage time. We were definitely a contender for the HE RS and Tournament titles, especially considering Merrimack coming back to earth, and taking 4 of 6 points from first place BC. As we all know, if you get to the NCAA, a bounce here or there and you're in the Frozen Four. It was definitely foreseeable that this was an NCAA team at full strength, so who knows where they would've gone, and who knows how far they will now go. Need to shore up defensive miscues, stay out of the dam box, and hopefully continue to get solid goaltending.
