They should have kept the maroon and gold seats.
UMass and Providence were picked 2 and 3 in the league.
Now, next weekend could be tricky. Already without Newhook, they will also be without Knight, Boldy and Helleson. Henry Wilder will see his first action. Kuntar will probably jump into top six role and I would think Weight to that 3rd line. Gonna need some goals without Knight and Helleson.

Wilder is a terrific goalie. As long as Hutsko is on the ice the offense will be fine. Kuntar, Ambrosio, McBain, Hardman and Nestorenko are enough to handle UConn.
This team gets better every game. The only part of their game that is not working is the PP. Wait until Newhook returns and the PP is clicking!
Go Eagles!

Team is stacked back to front. The speed and the transition game is there, they go from defense to offense in a blink. It wasn't too long ago that we relied to Cotton in front of the net and Matila and Hustsko to get him the puck. Different team now. Really fun to watch, we just won't see enough of them.

Doggie Out! Afuera!
Wow. Just wow. They could play that team 100 times and never beat them by that margin again. One of those games when everything went right for BC and everything went wrong for Providence. Man, the speed and transitions are like going back in time to eight or ten years ago. This team will be fun to watch for however much of a season they end up having.
Lots of questions/comments:
-Since I do not live in New England, I had to watch the game on DirecTV, from a bar. So, there was no sound. For those who watched the game on NESN, was there play-by-play and color commentary for both nights? Also, on WEEI and bceagles.com, do John Risch (sp?) and Andy Powers still do it?
-Brett Berard was a minus 8 last night? That has to be some sort of record.
-According to the box score, Jack Agnew has played in all four games. I have yet to notice him. Has he been out on the ice? Or, even on the bench?
-I have to believe the coaching staff left Spencer Knight in for the entire game because he hadn't given up a goal and they wanted him to get the shutout. I would have liked to have seen Henry Wilder get some minutes, especially with him having to play two full games this upcoming weekend vs. UConn.
-I think Alex Newhook will replace Marc McLaughlin on the first power play unit. So, it will be Newhook, Mike Hardman, and Logan Hutsko down low, with Matt Boldy and Drew Helleson at the points. It will be nice to keep that line together (assuming the coaching staff has the Newhook-Boldy-Hardman line from last year in tact).
-Helleson and Marshall Warren are playing a ton of minutes. It will be good to get Tim Lovell back from injury and John St. Ivany into the line-up.
-Great start to the season. When do the games start counting towards the Hockey East standings?

You know what, I know he had a shutout going and it's tough taking him out but when the game is 7,8,9 to zip why risk Knight getting injured when you also know Wilder will be in net for a couple games coming up.
NESN had the PC crew last night, Mike Logan and the female color commentator. Pretty sure Rish and Powers are still doing the games on radio.
Not sure how much Agnew plays but he must have gotten some shifts last night. He's been dressing as the extra dman.
Since BC is scheduled to play both UMass and Providence again, these previous wins will count as league games if those other games don't take place. That could be because they get canceled or replaced by other games if BC has another series canceled against a different opponent.

It is still early and they haven't reached their full stride yet but real out of conference games like vs Denver or North Dakota would give us a more reliable read on this team.
Basically they're playing all conference games this year
Ted Donato must be besides himself losing all those players like Berniers and Kuntar and other core, seasoned players

I completely agree with you on getting Spencer Knight out of the game and getting Henry Wilder in there.
How is UConn supposed to be? Are they a defensive-minded team? Offensive-minded?
Is it me, or is this the first year Logan Hutsko is on the penalty kill? I don't recall seeing that in the past. Maybe he's filling in until Alex Newhook returns.
Has anyone seen John St. Ivany play? He's a big guy who put up good offensive numbers, both at Sioux City in the USHL and at Yale. He also made the World Junior team, which says a lot. Lastly, is he already a Boston College student? He's not listed on their roster.

My bad.
What a W. What a LOOOOOONG shift from Warren; my God that was something else to make the stop 1 on 1 in one end, fight through an attempted takedown on the break and then follow it up and poke it in. What a game by Wilder.
We were only missing 4 of our 5 best players. Nice try Yukon.

Both goalies did some serious tending last night. Warren made a determined 200 foot play, out fought the Uconn player for the puck in his end and finished off the rebound on the other end, came from the opposite side so the goalie did not really see him or have time to react. Great first period, second period not so much, but they got two goals and a pretty even third. Hutsko just seems to get better every game, they are out after him, he took a really heavy hit in the third, boarding call, but I think he can expect that every time he steps on the ice. AMbrosio, Kuntar and Nesterenko, Weight is good but he just can't get enough ice time with those three in front of him, all are seriously talented Freshman. Fun team to watch.
