Exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time. Hopefully the boys show that their play hasn't been a fluke.
    And not to be defeatist, but I'm expecting three very close and competitive games, and assuming we don't take 6 points from them, I hope the team can continue their strong play, improve where necessary, and not get rattled. (I hope this sense of focus and inner calm extends to all of us on the message board as well )

      That's what you said in 2009.

      Just sayin....

      Either way, I'm happy for you guys. What a crazy turn of events...

      The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

        BC athletics has an apparel deal with Under Armour; those are their new regular sweaters as of this season.

              Actually, I was referring to the boys as "the team of density" . Slowly peeps came around to accept my confidence ( expect scarlet, she still thinks they'll lose the final )

                Bomber - please remind me what the Ewing theory is. Something to do with Boomer Ewing, I assume/recall, but I don't remember any details. Or perhaps I am way off and it has to do with JR Ewing.

                      Perhaps, the gang at ESPN could've found a more flattering picture of Tiffani A-T. In that shot, it appears that she just caught a whif of something most foul.

                          it's only been a couple games and not against really strong competition.. but these guys have a chance to duplicate the 05/06 run. a team that had a jolt to the roster (that group had vdg return after injury for the 2nd half, this group lost 3 and 10). not a group with stars or anything, but played solid together and rode a goalie that played very, very well against weak teams (those boys finished up with uvm and nu -- these boys will finish up with uvm and nu). gonna admit after umo this weekend there is really just the two games against uml (and we'll see if they continue to play well or fade to norm). hard work and confidence can take you places... and a hot goalie.

                          we'll see.

                            Great point mookie. It makes much more sense to compare this team to 05-06 rather than 08-09.

                            I am very pleasantly surprised how this team has dealt with the adversity of Trivino and Coyle. I have been a critic of Parker but also have to give credit where it is due. The rest of the team has gelled together and is now playing a much better game of hockey than when Trivino and Coyle were on the team. I would think Parker deserves a lot of credit for this. Of course, a hot Maine team will be a good test this weekend. Take 3 points and I will be pretty excited. I am still a bit skittish on this team's fate in the NCAAs, but I am more wanting to take the ride and see where it leads.

                              And lost to BC by 5 after a multi game winning streak against them. Glad we got that out of the way in December

                                not exactly a corpse ..........the sample size for my respect of the BU hockey program is about 45 years and i haven't seen the corpse too many times during that span......
