Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker
Several (ok more than several) thoughts:
For some reason we always start slow at Matthews. I bet if you look back the past couple of years, our first period GF/GA would be brutal.
The first 10 minutes was not BC hockey. Granted shots aren't your best barometer but 2 shots in 10 minutes. The final 6ish minutes of that period were much better.
I think York should break up the 1st line. It's our best line by far but right now we're not getting enough offense from the other 3. The key will be holding the fort as the FR on D get up to speed and the now SO 3rd liners develop more of a scoring touch. They're providing pressure but not that extra attack.
Too many give aways leading to odd man rushes, granted NU didn't capitalize, it's still not good.
FR D need to clear the **** out of infront of Milner
Was thrilled to see Mullane & Arnold step in after some NU player took a run at Whitney as time expired.
Going to be interesting to see how Brown/Dyroff react to more PT.
Individually:
Matheson is the real deal. On the point for the first unit, the lone D in the extra attacker. Steady, very good puck movement, needs to use his shot more.
Wey: They're going to lean on him a lot to absorb the Dumoulin/Cross minutes and he doesn't have the history of health. Hopefully he can take that next step.
Mullane needs to shoot more, but it's been that way for a couple of years now.
Didn't realize how big Silk is.
Loved Grav's HFB call. That was comical. Only to be topped by after a give away at the BC blue line, NU player had the puck, not a clear path but maybe a third of a stride infront of a BC dman, goes down and a hook is called. Unreal, Louganis would've been proud. It's been a running theme the past couple of years w HE refs though, foot race to the puck, forward goes down, auto call.Last edited by claver2010; 10-14-2012, 09:13 AM.

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker
Matthews is a great place to watch a game with all the history and all. However, it would be much better if it hadn't been developing into a house of horrors for BC the last few years. Every game there is a struggle to the point that I am beginning to have a feeling of dread when BC travels there. At this point, I almost expected last night. That said, I'd rather have it happen at the beginning of the year.
Nobody should be worried. With the losses from last year and three freshman D playing, there will be growing pains. In the end, I am confident they'll be fine.The ORIGINAL Cross Check

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker
Cross Check, to your point, the last easy win BC had at Matthews was in the regular season finale back in 2008.
Playing in a hostile environment like a sold out Matthews is a good experience for the team. Let's see how they look Saturday night in the return matchup.

Nice to see everyone responding to this loss with reasonable reactions. That must be a lot easier for us than most.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10

Nothing to panic about at this point, that's a really tough game to start the season with. NU's freshmen look really good already, especially Roy. He's filthy. It's almost unfathomable that he was previously committed to Brown, and that none of the big powers got in on him.
BTW, I can't wait until the next round of ding-a-lings come into the 2013 BC offseason thread next summer complaining about BC's "inflated attendance numbers," since NU folk are usually among them. The lower bowl was about 50-60% full for their "sell out" on Saturday.
