... BC was coming in waves.

That seems to be true of all BC games. You're the UW of the East; the scoreboard doesn't match the eye test.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the "turn off your eagle blind eyes" thing...

I'm not sure anything can quite compare to stunned goats.

It took 10 years but I think that might have finally been a positive contribution to the forum from me

Don't sell yourself short. Your first offseason here (summer of 2007?) was the first time I remember widespread discussions of ice cream. Could there be a better summer topic? And we had you to thank.

This comment fascinates me. Of the top teams, whose scoreboard DOES match the eye test? I'd say BC's scores from last year did match the eye test, but the competition was debatebly weaker.

Ah, those were the days... BC threads would go 50 pages deep every year! Those were the days when we had a whopping 3 fans o.O

This could very well be true! But giving up a goal on an EAG and then giving up an OT winner is a pretty definitive definition of a choke.

It might only be a choke if the winning team had no reasonable explanation of success. Maybe you just thought they didn't. Then there is the possibility that the winning team just played the game of their lives, that wouldn't be a choke either.

It would be interesting to know what Crowley's message to the team on the bench was as they prepared for overtime. Whatever it was, it obviously didn't work. The overtime was so one-sided and so unlike any of the three periods in regulation. I was just wondered if the team purposely went into "D mode", looking to capitalize on a mistake (strategic), or if Northeastern simply came out more determined to take control and win it (emotional/mental).

Northeastern had ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the momentum -- even more so than just from scoring the tying goal. They got a wild save from Frankel with 10 seconds left on the clock where Lonergan came in all alone and was denied. That probably sucked all the wind out of BC's sails and blew it straight into NU's.

Either way, NU came out fired up and BC didn't match the intensity at all.

You did, If I remember correctly, come up with the phrase "skating jesus" in a BCI article last year...

Now, it's mostly just you, but the BC thread still has more posts than the threads for the Gophers or Badgers. If this was a dorm, I guess we'd all be hanging out in your room.

Then again, if another poster was serving popcorn or pizza...

Of course if the main objective is informed Hockey talk, ARM's room would also get a good bit of traffic.

HA love it -- I'd say PARTY AT MY PLACE for Quinnipiac but BC isn't going to make it to Quinnipiac because we're actually bad. 1-0 BU after 1. Really crap period despite the shot totals.
