Re: Boston College - 2010 Men's Division 1 National Champions
crazy year for hockey...Denver folding so fast, as did Cornell...then, BC, as usual, getting on fire at the right time. HOWEVER, can anyone in their right mind say that they thought BC could take down 2 good teams in such dominating fashion. 12-1 in the Frozen Four. That is SICK!!!
Re: Boston College - 2010 Men's Division 1 National Champions
Truly amazing run. This last decade has been a joy to be a fan of this team. Just a couple thoughts:
1) Now that John Muse has won two titles (and a chance for a third next year) I think there's a legitimate chance we'll someday see his jersey hanging from the rafters at BC. When it comes to the playoffs, he's simply on another level. He played perfectly during the Frozen Four. Now 8-0 in the NCAAs. That's a ridiculous stat.
2) Any chance we don't lose anybody to the pros? Who is a threat to leave early? Chris Kreider?
This team is better than the 2001 team, I would say. Maybe not as much individual talent, but after the last month, I'd take Atkinson, Price, Muse et al over Gionta, Kolanos, Kobasew and Clemmensen etc. Utterly, utterly dominant.
You are out of your mind... 2001 was a much better team. The talent level in 2001 was way better then now...
Re: Boston College - 2010 Men's Division 1 National Champions
Here is the really scary part (if your not a BC fan). BC will only loose 4 seniors from this years national championship team. They will return their junior starting goalie, a freshman goalie with a 10-2-1 record, their leading scorer with 30 goals 23 assist who is only a sophomore as well as 9 NHL drafted players, of which 5 are freshman. This team won't be reloading, they are loaded for the nest few years. If these guys don't jump to the NHL it could be the start of a dynasty.

Instead of Fighting Sioux, maybe you should suggest the name UMD "Whining Sour Grapes."
Re: Boston College - 2010 Men's Division 1 National Champions
Jerry York has always been a class act. Back in the 70's he was in our living room pitching Clarkson to my older brother and I still remember how he told me to keep my grades up and he'd be coming to recruit me in a couple years.
Muse, 5-1 in Beanpots (2 titles) , 10-1 in HE playoffs (2 titles), 8-0 in NCAA Tourney (2 titles)..........an amazing 23-2 if my figures are correct
Not too shabby I'd say. If next year goes as well as anticipated, he'll be able to match himself up favorably with any BC goalie...if he's not already able to do so.

Congrats on the championship. Not much to discuss. The Eagles thoroughly dismantled what I considered the two best teams in the country coming in.

Re: Boston College - 2010 Men's Division 1 National Champions
Congratulations. York is probably the best coach in college hockey and BC is one of the fastest teams in the nation. It showed in the Frozen Four. A truely dominating tournament. They also played some great defense.
Somewhat upset the WCHA didn't win it this year, but at least Wisconsin didn't win it all.
