BU Hockey '25-'26: Can we keep up the run to Vegas?
- Thread starter Terrier86

I think they heard me.
Boumedienne had a great view of the action on the winning goal.
Too bad he couldn't have cared enough to get involved after his turnover in the defensive end.
And I'd sit McCarthy for the next two for the really stupid penalites, espeecially that last slash in the last two minutes.
Hey, but they don't care. Why should I?

Loser team plain and simple. The # of late deciding goals they have given up this year shows zero character. And McCarthy with 3 sloppy penalties was dog crap. 1 eliminating a PP and another pretty much eliminating a chance for a tying goal. OT would have been a real morale booster and helped a lot in ranking. They are going to get spanked in a big way on Saturday. Very few invested players the coaches have given up trying to get through to them
Yes Boumedienne didn’t get back into the play after the TO his man was standing alone in front. Sit him and the SFB McCarthy tomorrow

Watched on tape delay. They had me going there for awhile. Agree with everything said above. The turnovers in their own end have just killed the season. Am I the only one who thought Hutson was strangely invisible?
The youth movement is not working. Men against boys.
I wish the explanation was that clear. While BU is the youngest team, PC is 7th or 9th youngest- something like that. Also, I doubt we would switch rosters with any of the oldest teams- Niagara, Ferris, Canisius, Army, Sacred Heart, RIT, Bentley, Stonehill, etc.
The youngest teams- BU, BC, Michigan, Michigan State, Denver, Harvard, Minnesota, PC, Cornell just have more volatility year to year and even within a season.
This team is quickly becoming unlikeable.
PC is 9th youngest but 1.5 years older than BU. That is quite significant a difference.
The 2nd youngest team, Michigan, is 9 months older than BU. I haven't done the research, but I don't ever recall seeing that large a gap between 1 and 2.
Hutson certainly has not had much of that wow factor since the return from WJC and the injury. He was a big factor with a few plays in the game prior to this, but he’s either unable or unwilling to do the kinds of things he was previously doing to move the puck and create in the offensive zone. That is certainly one of the factors that is hampering the team offensively.
Defensively the team has improved mostly, but the turnovers in key areas of the ice continue over 20 games into the season. Providence’s looks very good and they exposed our weaknesses for sure. They blocked toms of shots and their goalie made some keys saves.
Man, not getting that game to OT was very costly. I think we would remain in the top 16 with that result. Could have moved up further with a win tonight. Just no prolonged momentum to move into NCAA qualification territory. It will likely be win HE or go home. Surprising with this roster and goalie. Can we get some magic on 2 Mondays and at least win the Beanpot at least?

For the Beanpot, this may be the weakest field we've seen in a while. BC seems to be the biggest obstacle, and this is certainly not one of their better years. That goal seems realistic.

Well based on rankings the team should lose the next three games. If they can win two of them that would be an excellent result in my opinion. I wouldn't say I am nervous, but that may be because I have pretty much accepted that they are not going to get an at-large bid and will have to get hot at the right time. I know they still can get an at-large bid and of course I hope they start a long winning streak tonight. But for a team that can't seem to sweep inferior opponents in any given weekend, I am certainly not expecting them to do so against a team as good as PC. Prove me wearing BU!
This team just lacks experience and veteran leadership. The most reliable players (7, 10, 25) are bottom-6ers that are freshmen or sophomores. The lack of skilled, physical juniors and seniors is a huge gap compared to recent years.
All 100% accurate. The general defensive game has improved, but they are prone to turnovers and PC has the speed, skill, and coaching to force them.

If Quinn Hutson and Shane Lachance had stuck around for one more year I think this would have been a very different season and they could have both benefited from it.
