BC vs Wisconsin...for All the Marbles

Re: BC vs Wisconsin...for All the Marbles

There hasn't been a national title game this horrible since 2006.
I refuse to root for either of these teams. :D

I love it . . . please keep the pro Wisconsin predictions coming.

This will make the beating that BC is going to put on Bucky even more enjoyable!

This one will not be competitive. Right now the Hockey East level of play, for a variety of reasons, is far superior to any other conference. You guys barely beat our 8th place team, for Pete's sake.

A cowardly dive from one of your top players won't do anything for you in this game, either.

But hey, good season, guys. You beat the 8th place Hockey East team by one goal, practically got a bye into the Frozen Four thanks to matching up with consistent NCAA tourney failures St. Cloud, and you took liberties all night long with a team of washed up old Canadians masquerading as Cinderella.

Nothing to stir but the pot today, eh?

It will come down to what kind of game it is. BC wants an uptempo skating game. Wisconsin may have good team speed. BC is faster. Everyone just watched them drop a 7 spot on the top defensive team in the NCAA. If it's up and down hockey, BC wins unless Wisco's goalie steals it.

I'm sure Wisconsin will want to use their size and strength advantage to knock BC around physically. If they can make it a physical game and keep the tempo down, Bucky likely wins.

As for the Denver fan that compared the two teams based on the BC team he saw in the Denver Cup, this is a different BC team. Loaded with freshman that have matured and improved infinitely in the interim and prior to the lines being switched to their current lethal form. This BC team has not lost in a long time.

I see a close game with BC winning 4-3.

You said it right there. Badgers veteran team beats a talented young team 5-2.

I'm sorry, but how many players on your team have rings?

Your coach has how many national titles under his belt? Tournament victories?

How many times has BC been to the Frozen Four in the last 4 years?
 
Re: BC vs Wisconsin...for All the Marbles

although i'd LOVE for your squad to prove me wrong

Saw DU play both of these teams. Wisconsin is the better team. DU beat BC 4-3 in the Denver Cup with a come from behind 4-goal, 20 shot outburst in the 3rd period. They can be had and I am sure Gwoz has offered up the tape of that game to Eaves, his old team mate. SLU beat BC in the opening game of the tourney 5-2. In January then #1 DU played two nail-biters with then #3 Wisconsin in Madison in the regular season with a 3-3 tie and 4-3 loss. The then #3 Badgers blew out then #1 DU 6-3 in the consolation game of the WCHA playoffs. My money is on the Badgers in this one.

but that BC team in December is not THIS BC team ..........should be a great game though between unquestionably the two best teams in the country

Thank you for opening my eyes... rest of Hockey East went 1-2 in NCAA tournament including loss to RIT. I guess my definition of "superior" is a bit different.

Vermont finished 3 points from tie for 3rd in Hockey East... and they beat New Hampshire 2 out of 3 in Hockey East tourney... clearly a very poor team :rolleyes:

Um, wasn't that Miami team more experienced than this year's BC team? (Honest question - it feels like they are, what with being a minute away from the title last year, and with everything I heard about them during the year.)

It seems going to the final 4 and losing often, as Boston teams have done so well, is something to hang the hat upon. Wisconsin has made two final fours in the last five years with one title in hand, and a second likely to be awarded Saturday night. BC makes it to the final four four times with one title. Sounds like a lot of losing to me.

You do realize that you are anchoring an argument to UNH in the postseason? Try again.

The NCAA regular season and playoff record books since 1998 strongly support your position that BC has done a "lot of losing" in recent years. As does BC's all time NCAA tournament record.

I'm sure there are 58 or 59 other NCAAH teams that would LOVE to have BC's kind of "losing," right?
 
Re: BC vs Wisconsin...for All the Marbles

Just chiming in... I think BC has an advantage on speed... but I will be cheering (HARD!) for Bucky and the boys from Wisconsin! :)

Given a choice, I'd bet they'd rather have Wisconsin's NCAA Tourney record....;)

So, what you're saying is that Wisconsin doesn't lose much in the Frozen Four...because Wisconsin can't get to the Frozen Four?

Wow.

I would agree... I think the BC win is more impressive than the WI win vs RIT. I was expecting more from Miami at Frozen Four after they came so close to having title last year.

BC seems to be hot at the right time of the year.
