Nesterenko has been the best player on the ice in the last 4 or 5 games. He was be bopping and skatting all over the ice last night. He had a hat trick and an assist. Sometimes he tries to do a little too much with the puck but he has the best handle since Farkas. The first period was all BC except for the first two shifts, then the given Umass some life, as in a 2 on 0 short handed goal for UMass and some bad penalties. Benson played well as Umass climbed back in it in the third. They evened up the SOG and by the end of the game it was pretty much even SOG. Need a 60 minute game tonight, as they need to stay close to Maine in the standings, next week end will be two big games at Orono.

Kuntar is a relentless, no flash but a lot of smash. Should have had a hattie but Gauthier was half a step off side. Benson played very well, he is solid, he needs a some protection but he made several good saves in the third. Lets see if they can keep it up, two at Maine will be tough but they can really climb in the standings with a few more wins and the teams above them faltering.Last edited by DNAEagle; 02-18-2023, 08:38 PM.

Hard to figure with this team, nothing is a sure thing and yet anything is possible. After the heartbreaker to a good Harvard team I thought they were toast. Now they must feel a lot better about themselves and getting their confidence back.

Finally a good weekend far and few between
Left early after the 4th BC goal but finding my way home was a nightmare in the dark
my navigation app was not working well but eventually got home
hopefully they can win at least 3 of 4 or better still win out the last 4 games
but with this team you never know what you get from game to game
Alfond is a long drive but maybe just watch on the stream next weekend
I don’t see them winning the HE tournament if they go that far but we can all hope
Maybe they can surprise us with two wins in OronoNCAA Champs 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949, Hockey East Tourney Champs 2012 #11, Beanpot Champs 2016

They have shown that they can beat anyone in the conference, they have also shown that they can lose to anyone. In a one game scenario anything can happen.
If they can get to the Garden they can play their way into the NCAA's First things first, take two from Maine.

You're right that anything can happen in a one game scenario. The problem is that for BC to make the tournament, they'll have to string together several consecutive of those one game scenarios, which would require a level of consistency that they have just not demonstrated this season.

Ups and downs can describe this season. However, I think that many of the downs could have been avoided by a little luck as there were many games that they actually played well enough to win but couldn't get the right bounce. That being said they will finish somewhere between 11 and 33 in the PWR but with a prediction of a 3-3 finish to close out the season and playoffs they likely stay at 23. Now should they close out with 4 wins they have a legitimate shot at the 4 seed in Hockey East. They would be guaranteed 5th with 4 regulation wins as they would pass both PC and UConn. Lowell would then need at least 4 points to take 4th but with series against Merrimack and Northeastern that is no guarantee. They still do have a slight chance of making the NCAA as an at large if they win until the HEA championship game. Conversely they could drop to 10th in Hockey East if they lose 4 straight and UMass, UNH and Vermont all close strong. UNH and Vermont play once so only one of UNH and Vermont could catch BC.
