Tough game.
So BU/ BC in the consolation is an interesting twist. It will be interesting to see how much of a rivalry it feels like. Gotta figure out how to get up for it…. Big for pairwise implications.

Not great to come out this flat and be pushed around by a bigger stronger NU team on this stage. They were by far the weakest looking of the 4 teams tonight. They have to sit on this for a week just to play a semi meaningless game albeit being BC. The next league games almost 2 weeks away against a NU type team in MC. Going to be a telling few weeks until HE playoffs start.

They picked an interesting time to play their worst game of the year. Did they win more than six face offs all game? I counted at least five whiffed shots. They couldn’t connect on passes. They played with no focus. Levi is amazing but to be honest, he was hardly tested. I know they weren’t going to every game the rest of the season, but man, this was painful. Hope it’s an eye opener.

NU forced BU to play to NU's style, which BU's roster and systems aren't constructed to do effectively. Teams simply can't afford to spot NU leads b/c they'll sit back and play that patient, grinding style that forces teams into mistakes.
Despite all the success this BU team has had so far, there are some teams (NU being one of them) whom I feel they match up poorly against and have concern about how they fare against teams that play similar styles and how readily can they adapt their style of play against those types of opponents.

They just didn’t get enough pucks to the net with traffic in front. It has been proven time and time again against Levi that if you don’t take his eyes away you’re probably not beating him. That’s how we scored our goal. There was an early tip by Tuch in front that almost went 5 hole, but caught pad. Brown earlier hit pipe. An inch or 2 here or there and we have a few. Levi was solid and made a few great saves. Our D broke down again on the 2 NU goals - that’s frustrating . I thought we had energy early, but couldn’t get one. Second period was a disaster. Great energy again in the 3rd. Really 0-2 in tournament games against teams that are formidable opponents. Hopefully things even out in the conference tournament and NCAA. This team is too good not to win some tournament games. I am still in on this group to do something special.
We did remain 3rd in PWR with the loss. Need to beat BC in the empty arena game to remain competitive for a 1 seed (yes, I actually went to a consolation game once (BU-Harvard)and it was like they played the game with only me and 10 others in the stands). Although, this is a BU-BC game, who doesn’t want to see that?

Hopefully this is a learning experience for the team and the coach, but yeah, a 2-0 lead by NU felt like 5-0. Surprised to see a team full of upperclassmen come out jumpy, and they stayed that way most of the game. My biggest problem was the lack of adjustments. Clearly sending the puck back to the blue line and having someone create offense from there wasn't working as NU was sitting back and either blocking shots between the dots or giving Levi a clean look to make an easy save. They basically got outplayed in every facet of the game.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

That being said, any loss should be a learning experience and we've seen this team rebound after each loss this season...
