BU: '22-'23 Season: Sail The Boats

[Bomber]

Five of the six games yesterday went to OT. The scores were all 1-0 or 2-1, with one game finishing 3-2.

Again, how does BU win another game with three healthy defensemen?

Everyone likes OT in these games but ya they could have used a few more goals. The one sided nature of the Hockey East games (in regulation anyway since both BU and UML played their best hockey in OT) was not pretty.

I wasn't paying that close attention so how did Fensore look yesterday? Did he have his minutes cut back at all? I think the bigger question will be what does Merrimack have left in the tank. I could see BU take over as the game goes on.

I thought Fensore looked pretty good. And we have other defensemen. Who will be the one to step up?

Lane Hutson (insert smiley face)...although I am totally being serious

I thought Fensore looked to be about 60%. He did not have his usual burst of speed and his stick skills looked hampered. Of course, the whole team was gripping their sticks too hard and peeing down their legs all over the place, so.....

House money tonight. I want to go in the dressing room and say to them: "**** it! Just go out there and have fun. Play. Shoot. play for each other."

And regarding the two D men who got next to ZERO ice-time this year. This is a D1 program, right? These kids were recruited to play D1. And yet... Not really sure why there is such a massive drop-off between Dman #5 and the rest of the Dman room.

Speaking of Lane Hutson. His rush up ice that led to the tying goal... ChefKiss. Go find the slow-mo version on social media. The kid is special. And he might have to play half the game tonight.

I meant the defensemen who never play. Like Lachlan Getz.

It's an interesting question for Pandolfo. Do you go all out to win tonight and potentially run some guys into the ground including Fensore or do you take your chances rolling 6 D and accept whatever happens. The way I see it you guys have locked up a spot in Manchester or Bridgeport and might be better served to take a cautious approach tonight.

It’s certainly an interesting debate but I think you go out and try to win this thing.

Who plays for second place unless it is golf and your playing Tiger in his prime.

It's not really playing for 2nd place when the big tournament is next week

Skoog is suspended for tonight’s game = Hockey East trying everything it can to have Merrimack win to get two teams into ncaas.

Or stop dangerous full-speed hits to the back of a student who is still 10 feet from touching the puck. (Clip at 18 seconds) (And who ended up breaking his hand and missing the rest of the game)

They might have called that a major, but yeah, suspension is too much. MC is already in, in most scenarios.

I agree. This came right after the McCarthy collision I believe. Watching it back i am not surprised he is suspended. If that is correctly called a major maybe BU isn't playing tonight.
