    Huh?

      Great win. It’s been a while since they’ve had a team with this type of team speed. The 15-16 team may have had better individual stats but I feel like this team has a lot more chemistry. Really fun team to watch

        I believe they can only finish second if UMass wins the title outright. Otherwise they will be the number 1 seed even if they lose all 3 remaining games. Only UMass, UML and UConn can catch them. Any tiebreakers BC wins. UConn can only catch them if they win all 3 and BC loses all 3 but that means UMass and UML lose to UConn and BC wins the tiebreaker over UConn. For UML to tie BC they too need to win all 3 with BC losing all 3 but second tiebreaker(wins) gives it to BC. A 3 way tie with UML and UMass goes to BC as well. A tie with UMass alone goes to BC. Only UMass getting 5 or 6 points more than BC do the Eagles fall to second.

          Ya the only thing I didn't check was the tiebreaker with UML

            BTW, just a note, most kids have already left for spring break which is why the attendance was down

                  Look at the Hockey East thread with ticapnews' assessment of the numbers. Unbelievable that behind BC, UMass can go as low as 8th and the rest can fall out of the playoffs completely. 9 teams are still in the hunt for home ice as well so 7 teams can either get home ice or drop out at 9th.

                    Absolutely.

                    The chemistry is there and that goes a long way. You're also seeing some serious gains the past few weeks from Newhook and most notably Boldy and McBain. The maligned defense has also tightened up and also chipped in offensively. This is an interesting team and it feels like Hutsko and Cotton have taken a backseat. They haven't but... that's how great Boldy and Newhook have been lately. A lot of talent spread around nicely. That's how you win championships.

                    ps - I really thought the penalty calls on Walker and McPhee were hot garbage.

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

                      Well that certainly looked like a 10th place team against a 1st place team who are REALLY hitting their stride. Difference in speed, skill and poise with the puck between these 2 teams is enormous, (as someone said, it easily could have been 6-0 after 1). Good luck the rest of the way, you have a really fun team to watch this year.

                        I assume they bring the trophy because BC can clinch it either outright or even clinch a tie if they lose. However do they present it if it is only a tie since there are still games to play? If it was the last game they would.

                          When winning it on the road, I'm not sure what the protocol is. I think they might just present it in the locker room. I remember them clinching one at UVM where there were pics from the locker room but not sure if they presented it out on the ice.

                            Screw it. It's BU. If Bertagna gives the trophy in a quiet locker room ceremony, take it and skate around the ice anyway.

                              Boldy is filthy , he’s must watch every shift . To our Merrimack buddy above- yes, so much fun to watch especially compared to the blackboard scratching of the past 2-3 years when we couldn’t put three tape to tape passes together. The way this team invades the offensive zone , in waves, is awesome to watch . PK is improving , 80% woulda killed us , so good to see. Attendance is up substantially from last year and we lead HE bit over 1000 a game so I can live with the slim “crowd” last night . They must have used the tickets sold last night because there’s no way that there were 3000 in the building. On to Agganis !

                                that boldy goal was disgusting.

                                as for the crowd, merrimack has to be the lowest draw in HE, it's a thursday and spring break starts today, not surprising.
