The game that I remember as if it were yesterday was the last regular season meeting in 2002-2003 between BC and UNH at the Whitt when the punk freshman Patrick Eaves speared senior Colin Hemingway in the corner, which the refs completely missed. UNH won the game 4-1, with Hemingway getting an ENG with Eaves still on the ice. Sweet! Of course, Eaves went on to have quite the successful NHL career with his dirty play.
Joe Exter sends his regards.
BTW let's not give Eaves ("quite the successful NHL career") too much credit. Reminds me of some of the UMainiacs who used to say what a fabulous career of NHL riches Bpbby Corkum enjoyed ... all the while, he spent about a decade skating 3rd/4th line ice time with a series of mediocre teams. Ditto for Eaves, albeit with a slightly better selection of teams. Daniel Winnik (UNH) has had a similar career to both, and with a lot less fanfare entering his D-1 career. I'd say Eaves never really reached his potential (or his hype - you pick).

Are you driving up Saturday ? I'll try to get a ticket @ BC tomorrow
I have 2 tickets but it's up in the air as to whether we go.
A family thing that may or my not get in the way. I'll know more by Thursday/Friday.

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.

Apparently a game thread can't draw the BC posters out these days. Perhaps they are looking past us (understandable), but I actually think there must be a pre-holiday sale at Vineyard Vines or Abercrombie. Iron that madras, fellas.

Oh, but it used to be worse. So much worse.
I remember when we used to try to figure out who we all hated more UNH or BC. This is before BC pulled away in mid 2000's.
