BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026

Good game, 1st and 3rd period were very good, second period too much ozone time for UNH. Gasseau and Latourneau are beasts in front of the net, very difficult to contain. Hemming is looking more comfortable out there. Turnovers yes but no real bone head turnovers like last week. Need a win tonight to keep pace in HE and move up in the NPI.
 
I am voting for Vote, he was terrific, the goal over the blocker was a great move to inside, got the defensemen to go that way, pulls it back and it in the net. BC is getting destroyed on face offs, 36 % win percentage tonight. It is a little late in the season for teaching face offs by now they should be better at the dots. Six points is great, they are right behind PC. Next week end is a big one. More worried about BU coming out like mad dogs, they have to be smarting after this week end.
 
After last weekend I feel a little better and made it back in one piece and no snow yet

I was praying to make it back home with low tire pressure and 14 degree weather

BU will be tough at HAA but hopefully they can keep BU down while they’re still in a bad funk

Glad I don’t have to go to Gillette in this brutal weather but go pats
 
Good game, LK was stellar particularly in the first. Deano, Hagens and Vote were the best forwards. Witless penalty by Hagens at the end of the second led to a goal by BU. Vote made nice pass to Deano for the third goal. They managed the third period with the lead very well. Good win, without two important forwards. depth is really better this year. On to Harvard, we need Comry and Stiga back.
 
Road rivalry win without 3 top 9 forwards. A lot of good games from the whole lineup tonight. Dean and Vote are on a heater. Vote is grossly underrated. Hemming looks great, Gasseau looks good since coming back. Luka came up big early on - I think he just needs to carry better save %s through period 1 and 2 and he'll be fine and it will give the team some time to get the offense rolling. There were some turnovers but they generally limited them tonight which was nice. It did seem like they were getting jumpy with the puck and then Dean made the steal and dish to Hagens and that really settled the game down. Last 10 minutes I thought BC's compete level and battling was absolutely top notch.

Only real bone to pick is the crazy stupid penalty by Hagens that cost them a goal and made it way closer than it had to be. All year now he seems to insert himself into scrums after the whistle just for fun and if there isn't one, he goes out of his way to create one. WHY!? Resendes (who was active tonight but didn't go over the line) finally chilled out and has stayed out of the box and we have our best player doing this. Again why?! What good can come of a first rounder going into a pile and looking for trouble? All of the officials in the league see it and know what he does so it's not going to draw penalties.

I will also say it freaks me out seeing some of these guys just smoke downhill wristers directly into the shinpads of the defender in the lane (Hagens and Gustafsson tonight, Conmy also does this) without even changing the angle of the release.

Faceoffs - still BAD. 24-31. Gasseau was 8-15 and accounted for the entire team's -7 at the dot. Yikes. He had a solid faceoff win % last season I believe. Maybe the hand isn't at full strength yet. Notable loss at the start of the 5x3 PP in the offensive zone and another clean offensive zone faceoff loss later in the 3rd. Gotta figure this out.

BU down to 26th in NPI; they are toast.

Harvard I think is now top 20 in NPI (18th right now) so that's a huge game on Monday for BC and also can help the league some. No idea what's up with the injuries to Conmy and Stiga and I just assume Jellvik will never be back. These things make the Monday game a lot harder to predict. A really big game for a number of reasons.

Katie King Crowley now 2-9 in her last 11 games as coach on the women's side; fire her immediately.

Will Moore leads in goals overturned, one last night, one with WMU and I think there was a third somewhere along the way. Tough luck for him as the off sides really did not directly lead to a goal. They were on their heels in the first but then LC was there to save them. Playing well but they Conmy and Stiga back, the 4th line saw very little ice time. The two on one with Deano and Hagens was a joy to watch. I don't think Harvard can match lines with us if we have Conmy and Stiga back.

Any word in why they were out. Was it injury or illness?
 
Good win into the Beanpot & no one is particularly favored this year in the Beanpot. No dominant team this year.

But BC has not won in ages and hopefully they can break the long drought. BC seems to take a page lately from PC with very few shots on net and making the most of opportunities with a good team defense.

BC has depth unlike last year when they were a one line team. Hagens needs to keep himself under control with those dumb penalties.

Agree on all of the above. By the way, I saw your previous post on low tire pressure. In October I did a white-knuckle drive home from the BC game at RPI back to Staten Island, NY, with the warning light on all 170 miles. Since then I bought a portable inflator.

These things are a life saver when needed and can usually be found on Amazon for cheap, everyone should have a portable jumper/tire inflator in their car.

Good idea since my hybrid has no room for a spare. I will go to a local auto store or look online. Had all my tires checked when I took my car at a local tire store in case there were any holes and slow leaks.

I am feeling positive for the 1st round but who knows since anything can happen in the Beanpot. GB hopefully has the team ready and prepared. I am feeling good after leaving HAA Friday night.

It took me forever to get home with the traffic on Comm Ave and single lane traffic with the bike lanes and other distractions
 
Make no mistake about it, these next two Mondays are huge for Greg Brown and his coaching staff. BU and NU are a disaster but on the flip side of that, these next two Mondays are basically their national championship (duh for Ronald Reagan U) as they have about a 6% and 5% to make the tournament, respectively.

I think sometimes we make too much out of the Beanpot and other times we minimize it too much. At the end of the day, these are games on a big stage which are indicators of whether a team can win in a highly contested tournament environment and usually pretty good indicators of future success or failure in March and April.

BC is 58th out of 63 teams in faceoff %. Luckily Harvard is right in that same area (55). That gives me some hope for tonight. Without the nightcap being simulated, a regulation win keeps BC at 12th and a regulation loss pushes BC down to 14th and Harvard right on their heels.

Will Jellvik emerge from his burrow and see his shadow and predict another 6 weeks on the IR or might he make an appearance? I think it makes sense to hold him back until the possibility of reinjuring this is gone completely but depending on the status of Conmy and Stiga, it may be time.

This is a must-win game for BC, Greg Brown and the conference.

They will go as far as Cloutier can take them. He was great on Friday night. It's a simple formula most of the teams in D1 are able to follow: Get decent goaltending, win some faceoffs, don't pass the puck to the other team. Given the talent, that gives this team a much higher chance of winning any game.

Congrats on the 21st Beanpot championship and breaking the 9 year drought! :)

I'll be watching from TV this year but am interested to see the Bruins prospects playing on the Garden ice.

This must the kiss of death post. B's usually don't select any BC players but often pick BU players like McAvoy, Gryz, Coyle etc

This is not a come from behind team so scoring first to me is important. GB is becoming the next Len Ceglarski meaning he has not won the big one (NCAA) or a Beanpot. Under Lenny it was like once per decade Beanpot. So far GB has not won one yet.

BU guy here - and also a Bruins fan. After last year i was admittedly worried about the Letourneau pick - but looking much better this year. Not to shift the subject from the matter at hand, but as a B's fan i'm wondering the odds of seeing them both in the Black and Gold once BC's season ends?
