Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

Do you know what the HEA season and career OT goal records are?

No, sorry. I only have BU stats.

BTW, it was also BU's 100th overtime win.

Thanks. (Still can't see why the review took so long.)
Looking ahead, BU has 8 more HE games. Weighted record of upcoming opponents (double counting teams they haven't seen) is 38-53-17, though that's tilted by two games with UNH and one more with UMass.
My bet is that not much will be settled till the final weekend.

Where can I find video of the goals last night? The goterriers link just takes me back to the story page. Thanks.

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

They came out strong on Friday. (3-0 lead) I only watched the 3rd and OT last night, but I'm guessing that the best defensive team in HE raised their game last night. They were 2 minutes from a shut-out! (Thanks Alexx! I hope your former mates send ya a gift basket.)

Anyone else notice that Danny took that own-zone face off (and won it) right before they got the puck deep and Eichel performed his OT magic?

Good decision by Quinn. O'Regan is 67% on face offs, while Eichel is 47%. On Friday night, when UVM pulled the goalie for a 6 on 4 (and scored), was hoping Jack would get tossed from the circle and O'Regan would take the draw.

While the third-period comeback scenario was repeated yet again last night, it was a much more thorough effort and a much-needed fast start. Give credit to Santaguida for keeping BU off the board in the first period.

Rodrigues' night could be called a "Ray Bourque" hat trick: goal, assist, textbook hip check.

I love this team. They just find a way. A good quality to have in tournament play.

Jack Eichel is the first Terrier since the formation of Hockey East to have 3 overtime goals in the same season. The only other Terriers to have 3 ot goals in a career since then are Colby Cohen (1 in 2008-09 and 2 in 2009-10) and Bryan Miller (1 each in 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04).

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

So when is this "let's wait till the last 10 minutes" mentality going to bite them in the rear?

It worked well at the end of the 2008-2009 season...

But yeah, it's nerve wracking. They need to play sharp all game.

Wow what a tip by Eichel. Great work by E-Rod as well. Awesome job to get all 4 points this weekend!

know it won't end up like this, but just curious if there's been a precedent. would committee give you the atlantic hockey rep even though you aren't #1 overall seed (not sure when/if that's ever happened) or one of the hockey east teams who are in the 4 seed band.

I don't think anyone should be excited to face off with Robert Morris.... Very solid record this year and might be dangerous

Caught most of the third period and OT on the stream.
- BU looked a little lost in their own zone on coverage. There seems to be times when someone was out of position such that what should have been a routine pass was all of a sudden a puck up for grabs
- That being said, sweeping on the road in a tough barn is a great result for the weekend. Not much separates many of the top teams in HE, so it is going to be a battle come tourney time.
- Rodrigues has certainly caught fire of late. Glad to see him really putting his skills to work in the right way. Nice anticipation on the steal. I couldn't see on the stream where he put his shot.
- Another sick deflection by Eichel - similar to his goal against Michigan. This one was even more impressive as it looked like he got his blade on it, not the shaft. I'll be interested to see a replay. He certainly is not dominating like he once looked like he would, but he sure is picking good times to step up!

With respect to own zone play, we were rotating 5 D all night so that played a role. A generally well played game all around by both teams.

Announcer said that BU leads the nation in third period goalies scored. (41 or something close to that.)
And VT led the nation in fewest allowed, 10 when he said it.
So a good weekend against a really good defensive team.
