  • Happy with the win but I can't recall seeing a more consistently sloppy BU team. Way too many stretch passes being picked off, especially in their own end. Way too much coughing up the puck with little challenge. I know Lane leaves big skates to fill, but we're REALLY feeling his absence - Cole hasn't come close to filling the void.

    • Dealing with a little FOMO this morning watching BU and Merrimack play in Belfast. Of course, watching them with an early power play, then coughing up the puck at the blue line and committing their own penalty on the short handed breakaway makes me a little glad I didn’t go. Heh.

      Love that the band was able to make the trip! This play by play guy keeps saying Merry Mack and it’s driving me nuts.

        Totally agree. I was hearing "Mary-mack." Muted it and synched up Bernie and Linehan off the goterriers.com feed.

        • First off, good to win by 4 in the end. I was hoping the tournament situation might focus everyone and we would see some very crisp hockey. I didn’t see it. This team struggles with possession in the offensive zone, even on the power play most of the time. I’m confused- these are very good hockey players that have been playing together as a group now for about 3 months. They look like they just met up for a pickup game half of the time and don’t practice together. Decision making is frequently poor and it puts them in some bad situations. Caron and some inaccurate shooting by Merrimack bailed them out today. They are keeping their heads above water for now, but to win something this year, they still have a way to go. As far as tomorrow, Notre Dame is not such a great team, but that doesn’t really matter right now - I think they need to play a more complete and consistent game to win.

              I’ll second that for sure. Looks like a circus ice sheet.

                Coming to an ice surface near you. It's all about the revenue streams.

                  That indiscretion is easily offset by "top shelf...where they keep the good whiskey" on the bar-down goals. Same pxp guy.

                  • Same lineup, of course. Fourth line very effective yesterday.

                        • Great start, bad middle, great finish. Formula for success? What a third period! I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to something like that, but it did. The type of effort in the third is what we need for about the whole 60 minutes. Hopefully this confidence and the good feelings of winning something can translate into better things ahead.

                            Right?? As great as last season was, they had nothing to show for it. Not sure what the rest of the season holds but now they know they can do it.

                            • As bad and undisciplined as this team has looked for much of this season they are tied with Denver in PWR. That blows my mind. Maybe they will turn it around.

                              • The replay of the game has disappeared from ESPN+. All seven goals are on the blog.
                                The post-game comments link (on GoTerriers.com) that didn't work last night is working now.
