Re: #8 NU @ #2 BU...For A Trip to the Garden
The difference between the two teams was slight. Oettinger made bigger stops in both games than Ruck had to. BU's superior talent showed on two critical plays, one in each game. Keller's skating forced Davies to use his stick to try to hold him up on Friday night. On Saturday, Forsbacka-Karlsson's footwork forced Cockerill to take his late penalty. Also playing a huge role was BU's ability to team defense NU's gunners. NU was never really able to get cohesive breakouts and odd man rushes going. BU won two tough games but with all that acclaimed 'talent', I'm still left wondering just how good they really are, or can be.
