Back at it next week. We still don't have a schedule (a tradition unlike any other) but we do have an exhibition vs. Stonehill on Saturday 9/20 which will be fun. Lee-J brought Erin Connolly as assistant over there (!) so they're kind of a BC Lite over in North Easton.

Don't be hopeful. The losses won't hurt and the wins will feel amazing. Kinda reminds me of this scene.

bc coming to flyover country with a matchup of two games against the tunnelers starting tonight. A few years ago this would have at least generated some level of interest. Now...Barely a blip on the radar screen. Both teams are shadows of their former selves so the apathy level is quite high. If you want to see a couple of mediocre teams play then this might be the series for you...Or not.

If a Final Four team is "mediocre", what word does one use to describe the other 40 teams playing at D1?
 
As flies to wanton boys we are for the gods. They kill us for their sport.

Soon science will not only be able to slow down the aging of the cells – soon science will fix the cells to the state.

And so we will become eternal.

Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us, but unfortunately crimes and wars will multiply.

I love the Eagles. Thank you.
 
What headline would you expect after today's game? How about "Eagles get clipped" ? Shots on goal at one point was 23 to 0. 1st game of the season so I won't get too excited, but tomorrow's game will possibly give a better idea of what each team is capable of.

You are true to your eagles, I will give you that. But that performance tonight had to be more fuel for the folks who advocate a coaching change.

HERE WE GO AGAIN FOLKS. BC is once again totally humiliated on the national stage.

Before Tony comes on here and tells us to be patient and that BCWIH is rebuilding its program with the right coach, all I have to say is ...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

This is beyond embarrassing. This is simply unacceptable for Boston College and everyone knows it.

Does anyone remember the actual definition of the word insanity ? If so please share.

Hopefully we show something tonight
 
This was my first time to watch BC live in person since ... the 2015 FF maybe? I guess they are still playing the same basic style of be aggressive, force turnovers, and capitalize. Defend? Hey, we wasted one of our six players by having a goalie, and we aren't sacrificing any more offensive capability than that.

UM was constantly handling the puck just inside its O blue line, and the Eagles pressured hard. Harder than any opponent in recent memory. tOSU has feasted on such plays, but the Buckeyes pick and choose, and surprise with sudden pressure. Wisconsin takes away time and space better than anyone, but the Badgers want to stay on the right side of the puck and are always prepared to get back into a defensive posture. BC's objective looked to be to create odd-player rushes, and it did, but it wasn't able to execute them all the way up the ice.

It took the Eagles more than 28 minutes to get their first shot on goal, and it wasn't because UM was playing lockdown defense. All of their advantages just kind of fizzled away. In the meantime, the D whom BC was pressuring stepped around them more often than not and created disadvantages that the Eagles struggled to sort out. Campbell actually played pretty well for a goalie with 5 goals against her on the first 20 shots.

The underdog teams in WCHA understand their cause well. Defend at all costs, keep the game close, try to frustrate the favorite, wait for the mistakes, and do something with them when they happen. BC still plays like it is the favorite.

Exactly...Still playing the same style but with less offensive talent than they used to have.

As an outside observer, it sure looks like a change is needed. Whether that is a change of style of play the current manglement institutes or a coaching change. Hmmm...Maybe you don't get the first without the second?
