The 2nd & 3rd lines seem to be really coming along as well, hopefully Boldy can break out in the 2nd half. Spencer Knight's numbers are stupid, has been everything as advertised. To put into perspective vs. other BC goalies' best years of the past, check out below

    Knight .940 SV% 4 SO
    Demko '15-'16 .935 SV% 10 SO (Junior yr)
    Milner '11-12 .937 SV% 3 SO (Junior Yr)
    Muse '07-'08 .921 SV% 3 SO (Freshman Yr)
    Schneider '05-'06 .930 SV% 8 SO (Sophomore Yr)
    Clemmenson '99-'00 .914 SV% 3 SO (Junior Yr)
    Interesting. Speaking of Milner, I'll always be impressed with what he did in the 2012 run. People just assume because the entire friggin team was NHL-level talent that he sat there drinking Long Island Iced Teas and let the occasional puck hit him. But he made a ton of big saves in that postseason that no one talks about. And even held down the fort in the national title game when BC took a lot more penalties than BC fans probably remember while holding that one-goal lead and waiting for Gaudreau to blow the roof off the building.

    But I definitely agree that the depth is really spread out nicely across 4 lines. The defense is clearly improved but I'd bet they spend more time in the offensive zone than any of the previous teams from the past few seasons. And that is a game-changer.

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

      And Knight has done that with a solid but unspectacular d core in front of him. I will say that group has outperformed what I was expecting though.

      Biggest thing I noticed was how BC played with the lead Friday. The speed factor allowed them to smother ND all over the ice and break up a lot of plays. Limited grade A chances. Didn't take stupid penalties. They have shown an ability to comeback like the Harvard game but I was impressed with how they played with the lead Friday (looks like they did the same yesterday).

                  Knight, no Boldy in WJC USA Camp. Bummer for Boldy. Hasn’t had the puck luck he needed so far this year. Was hoping he would go and get jump started for the 2nd half.

                      Agreed on Milner during that 2012 run. I remember saying (wrongly) the previous October that Parker Milner was not a championship goalie. Yes, I remember the penalties in that Ferris game, notably a stupid one by Arnold in the last minute of the second. I was seven rows behind the Ferris goalie when Gaudreau scored that magical goal.

                        Every time I watch Boldy I see him doing good things, just not adding up on the scoresheet. Should be some good motivation for him.

                            The thing I noticed is that with the depth this year, they're attacking and forechecking more aggressively than sitting back and letting the opposition attack them in the defensive zone. Anytime there was a penalty kill last year, you knew it was coming because they could not cover anyone with a decent power play. Often they would back off and provide the opposition too much space and time to move the puck around and shoot the puck

                            Helleson and Warren have improved the D and added depth

                              Helleson and Warren have been HUGE additions and have played a very large role in BC's turnaround.

                                Couldn’t agree more about the D. Thought Helleson would be solid but didn’t expect Warren or Helleson to be as good as they have been.

                                Another great thing coming our way is 12 (uscho omits the 2nd beanpot game for some reason) out of 19 games left in the season will be on NESN. CBS All Access has been terrible for me all season, excited to have a more dependent feed the majority of the rest of the way.
