Final BC over NU 3-1. Skarupa with the GWG in the 3rd and an empty net goal added for good measure.

This is one of those not-so-good nights for BU. It's 7-0 with seven minutes to go in the second.

Edit: And as I hit "Submit" the comeback begins. 7-1.

BU has laid some eggs in big games this year with I guess the other obvious game being the one against Cornell. Might be the whole issue of not having a #1 Goalie and the D corps hasn't been very consistent in their play this year. Definitely not one of the better defensive teams we've had these last few years.

Clarkson 3 SLU 1

Story of this game is SLU (losing 3-0) played the final 8:17 WITHOUT A GOALIE and scored once but Clarkson did not score at all :eek: . That has to be some type of record.

Clarkson 3 SLU 1

Story of this game is SLU (losing 3-0) played the final 8:17 WITHOUT A GOALIE and scored once but Clarkson did not score at all :eek: . That has to be some type of record.

Arlan wrote about Coach Wells pulling his goaltenders not too long ago:

"To find which teams are most likely to gamble, we can look at the number of minutes teams play with an empty net. In that respect, coach Chris Wells and St. Lawrence traditionally rank near the top.

“I’m of the mindset that what’s the difference between 3-1 and 7-1,” Wells said. “We lose to Clarkson, 5-0, two of the goals were empty nets. We lose to Dartmouth, 5-1, in Rochester, and two of those are empty nets, and Brown scored an empty-netter on us. Once it gets to a certain point, I’m not trying to make a mockery of the game or the score of the game, but to me 5-3, 6-3, 7-3 is no difference, and that’s the mindset of our team. We’ve come to enjoy playing with the goalie out and the desperation of it.”

He gets no argument from current Saints captain Amanda Boulier regarding the strategy.

“I can remember some games where there will be seven or eight minutes left and ‘Wellsy’ will pull her, and no one even thinks anything of it,” Boulier said. “It’s like, ‘Alright, let’s do this; here we go.’ It keeps things interesting, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

There’s usually method behind such madness.

“My first year [coaching SLU], a playoff game against Clarkson, we were down two [goals] with five minutes to go,” Well said. “We pulled the goalie; we scored two goals in the last five minutes, and then we won in overtime on the Friday night game, and then we won on Saturday. Then most recently at Quinnipiac two years ago in the playoffs, we won the first night in overtime, 1-0. Then the second night, we’re down 2-0 with 29 seconds to go in the game with a faceoff in their zone, and we scored. We scored with .7 seconds left to tie it. Then we eventually lost in the third overtime. We’ve had a fair amount of success. I think at one point, we were close to being even with the goalie out and goals against.”

To have that kind of success, a team has to execute.

“We get some good puck pressure, and I think the desperation helps out, and the ability to get on pucks,” Wells said. “It’s hard to stick it in the empty net; it really is.”

Minnesota found that out in its NCAA quarterfinal versus North Dakota in 2012. Trailing 5-0 with 5:53 elapsed in the third period, UND pulled goaltender Jorid Dagfinrud while on a five-on-three power play. North Dakota scored with those six skaters playing versus three to cut its deficit to 5-1, and coach Brian Idalski proceeded to yo-yo Dagfinrud in and out of the net over the remainder of the game, partly because it had to kill a couple penalties of its own. UND played without a goalie for over seven minutes, and the Gophers failed to take advantage. The final score was 5-1, so there was no damage done, but it serves to reinforce Wells’ point.

The scoreboard may have something to do with that. A week later with only a 2-1 lead, the Gophers scored just four seconds after Amanda Mazzotta left the ice to cement a semifinal win over Cornell.

Some goaltender pulls are more strategic than others. In another NCAA quarterfinal in 2012, Boston University trailed Cornell 7-4 with 11 minutes remaining. Coach Brian Durocher pulled Kerrin Sperry while on a power play, and the Terriers scored 12 seconds later. They added two more power-play goals to tie the game at 7-7 with 1:57 left in regulation without having to pull Sperry again. A couple hours later, Lauriane Rougeau scored for Cornell at 19:50 of the third overtime to make the BU comeback for naught.

Surprisingly, that’s how some of those dramatic comebacks end, such as the one Wells described where St. Lawrence fell in the third OT to Quinnipiac. Perhaps that is because after three overtimes, nobody can remember which team fought back from a deficit."

BC up 2-0 on UConn after 1 -- might have been our best period in 2 months. Way way better.

Elsewhere, Cornell up 2-1 on Quinnipiac and Harvard up 2-0 on Yale, both after 1
 
Re: 2014-2015 Division I Scores & Results Thread

Cornell scores w/30 seconds left in first to go up 2-1 over Quinnipiac.
SOG 12-10 for Cornell.

Good looking game from what I saw the last five minutes of the period.
