I know it's only an exhibition and the first real competition in a while, but that's kinda disappointing, no? Lack of face off wins hurt them in a few games last season.

In his post-exhibition interview with Scott Weighart, O’Connell is pretty candid about what needs improvement moving into the season, while also addressing many of the individual assets he has on the roster.
Like Scarlet, I’ve been critical of BU’s consistently low faceoff numbers, but do believe we should see better results than last year. Brown is a plus. Skoog’s win percentage was down last season after a .502 as a freshman. He was +2 on Saturday. Stevens had a team-best .536 last season. Judging from Albie’s comments in the interview, he’s looking to get Stevens into the line-up on a regular basis. Let’s see what happens vs. UConn.

Loved the "a few good men" reference. Was that '98?

Proof of vax or negative test within 72 hours.
Masks are still required per the city of Boston mandate unless actively eating or drinking.

Bernie’s call, “a few good men are going to Milwaukee,” followed Chris Drury’s overtime game-winner in the NCAA regional final in Worcester. BU had led Denver, 3-2, but the Pioneers tied it on an extra-attacker goal. Two Terrier goals were scored by Albie O’Connell, who was named to the Regional All-Tourney team. This was the TV call of the goal, not Bernie’s. Will add if located. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wVFSgfMAIw

CHN’s spot-on preview of BU (Inside Hockey East: Team Previews) contends the team has potential Frozen Four talent, but is “playing with fire” by being consistently outshot. Last season BU was outshot in 12 of 16 games (including by a combined 33 shots in the sweep of UMass). The other four games included 2 wins against Vermont and 1 against Merrimack. Average shots/game were 33.5 for opponents and 26.375 for BU (overtimes not factored in).
The reasons for the disparity are no secret. Not overcoming a heavy forecheck. Losing 50/50s and weak face off numbers, especially in the D-zone—all of which prevent BU unleashing one of its best assets: team speed. Albie is well aware and addressed some of this in his media call. Now we’ll see if/how the team responds and executes.
