Which I find terrible as on paper, BU is the best team we'll face this season (currently ranked 10th, for comparison, Union is currently ranked 18th and the B1G sucks so we're the only conference team currently ranked). I accept that this early in a season, rankings aren't all that meaningful, but certainly games against a good Hockey East team will be when it's time to look at the pairwise.

    I'm excited for these games, as I think they'll show us what kind of team we have. As usual, I expect keeping the puck out of our net will be the struggle. BU is currently averaging 3.4 goals/game.
    sparty has a very good strength of schedule. They're playing Denver, NoDik, Michigan Tech, BC, and Northeastern (who sucks but is in Hockey East) out of conference. I think that this is the first time that I've ever been envious of sparty. Now if sparty can actually win a majority of those games is another question. They're already 0-3 and the next 2 weekends they have Tech and NoDik.

    As been discussed repeatedly here our non-conference is this weekend.

      SoS is only great if you win those games. But yes, I agree their schedule this season is noteworthy...... but it may also keep them from becoming an at large if they do not win the B1G tourney.

      Now, our problem is exactly the opposite. The SoS is average at best, with no NCHC teams on the schedule, a couple ECAC teams along with NMU and possibly Tech. Losing, at home in poor form to RMU will stand out also if Michigan tanks out this weekend and going foward. In general, the whole B1G suffers from losing their share of nc games regardless of who they play- but especially against the heavyweights from the HEA and NCHC.

          He's engaged to one of my co-workers. Lives here in Boston now. He'll be at the games this weekend.

            Wow. While it's a small world, one would never expect that small.

            My story of something similar isn't quite as close- the associate Dean of engineering at Idaho- where I went to get my undergrad- her niece married Kevin Hogan a couple of years ago. How in the world did that connection happen.

            Have fun at the game- and hope to run into you at Tampa.

                  I was very impressed by Michigan's speed. BU really struggled to get anything going, and it was due to the fact that Michigan was in their face before they could get two strides under them. BU pulled it out but I would not surprised to see Michigan go further than BU this year. What an entertaining game.

                    Thank you, but I'm sure that you can see why it's hard being a Michigan fan.

                          BU's D did a heck of a job neutralizing it while figuring out how to deal with the speed- both goals had some fluke nature to them. By doing that, you guys exposed what makes us so worried- bottle up the big offense enough to 2-3 goals, and you have a great chance to win. Our D is improving- but how that second goal play started has haunted us for a few years- the D slapping at the puck. Then your team jumped all over that opportunity.

                          for sure, thought, watching our offense is a lot of fun.

                            why did red wait and waste a minute of 6x4 at the end of the game? mookie would have maybe given the team a regular pp up until 2min mark, but then pulled him. we got a reprieve of 45sec last night that i was very happy to receive.

                            bu offers an online feed of the scoreboard with our radio guys, but the quality sucks and it's not free.

                              I watched Friday nights game at Revel & Roll and left dissappointed. Today's game wasn't televised and I was busy watching sparty football, unfortunately they won. What was urban thinking with his play-calling? OK, nevermind...

                              Anyway, just from looking at the score it appears as if Michigan dominated the game. I'm interested to hear some BU fan's opinion on todays game. Michigan out-shot BU today (38-21), basically only gave up one goal (as the second was at 19:55 of the third period-garbage time), but the penalty time wasn't exactly even as Michigan had 2/4:00 while BU committed 4/8:00. So, if you saw the game how did it look? Without seeing the Saturday game I'm pretty happy with the weekend. True both of our Friday goals were ugly goals but if it wasn't for the last 10 minutes of Friday's game we would have swept BU at their place.

                              Opinions?

                                Nice bounceback win, came out on fire. Should serve a warning to other teams that when this team smothers you with speed and capitalizes on their chances they are formidable. Defense and goaltending aside, this is still a top 10-15 team in the NCAA.
