Yup, that's where it was - thanks!

Does anyone know if it is before or after the game?

Mike Eruzione Book Signing:

Former BU men's hockey captain and 1980 Olympic gold medalist Mike Eruzione will be at Friday's game to sign copies of his new book, "The Making of a Miracle," detailing his life and his role in the historic "Miracle on Ice" at the 1980 Olympics. The book will be sold on game day at the Barnes and Noble stand within the Arena, so grab a copy and meet the Captain!

Classic trap game tonight.

Anyone got numbers (Sean?) on what the W/L record is on the weekend after BU has won the Beanpot semifinal?

In 4 of the 5 years where BU lost their 1st game after the Beanpot Semifinal in the 2000s (2001, 2004, 2012, 2017), they played in the Beanpot Final following. Their record in the Beanpot Final those 4 years: 0-4.

Thank you, sir. Greatly appreciated.

You never fail to amaze.

This is a great reminder of why I stopped going to games. Terrible hockey.

Re: Boston University 2019-2020

Looked like they were going through the motions most of the game. Kiss of death to get the early short hander - I think it tricked us to thinking it would be an easier game. We were just hoping Merrimack would roll over. Able is looking vulnerable up high in the last 2 games. Not impressed with the effort all around.

Does anyone know exactly what happened with Wise? Saw it was a coaches decision to scratch.

Unknown. He'd been playing better of late, so I'd guess something like team rules violation or poor practices.

I have no knowledge, but his ice time dropped against BC as the game went on. I'm wondering if the coaching staff was not pleased with his effort in that game. I agree that overall he has looked much better over the past several games.

What a bummer of a result. Really takes a lot of the wind out of the fans sails going into Monday. Certainly solidifies that this team will need to win the HE tourney to get into the NCAAs. Again.

It's amazing how often this happens. I see it in the college game and younger (high school, youth hockey). The team that scores an early goal goes onto lose, because they think it is reflective of how the game will go. I'd love to see an analysis of the difference in win percentage for the team that scores first, when that goal comes in the first 5 minutes versus later in the game. No Sean, I am not requesting that you do this. But some games that come to mind going way back: The 1991 NCAA semis against Clarkson, the 1990 Beanpot final against BC, the 1991 Beanpot final against Harvard; '97 NCAA title against UND.
