Grant, Grant, Grant, c'mon man. first 2 games last year had only 4 goals total. they've already surpassed last year by 100%. with second line production off the charts.

please don't tell me you lost brain cells with all of that weight. have some faith.

While I'd love to support the TTT is minus brain cells line of thinking, BC scored 10 goals to open the season versus Syracuse last year, so we'll need better support than you've offered thus far.

To be fair, Teddy does have a point, the Cuse game notwithstanding.

If the point is you should have faith, yes, he does.

Beyond that, BC averaged 6.26 goals a game at home last year, and 3.8 goals a game everywhere else. I realize that by the time the NCAA Tournament gets here, you're going to be revved up to the point where you think it is impossible for BC to lose, so if you want to ignore the facts that don't fit your perception, I guess that's your business.

I was referring to his point that that in BC's first pair of games against a decent team we weren't throwing down touchdowns in those games either so I should probably settle down about the "lack of scoring."
so if you want to ignore the facts that don't fit your perception, I guess that's your business.

At this stage, we don't know that UMD is any more decent than Syracuse ultimately was last year. It seems very creative to conclude that BC's opening weekend was better than last season (because we throw out the Syracuse destruction for some odd reason.) Just say you had a great opening weekend both years and leave it at that. Any opening weekend that produces only Ws is very good, because all teams are such a work that is barely even in progress.

My point was that if you try to compare a home series to a road series for a team with such a big delta, your conclusion is bound to be skewed.

I can say with all confidence that UMD is better than Syracuse. I believe UMD outshot BC. I don't ever remember seeing that

Point taken, even if it was just by one in one of the games.

I'm trying to think of a team that would do well in terms of shot differential versus BC. Wisconsin is the only one that comes to mind. Quinnipiac is great at eliminating shots by lesser teams, but it doesn't hold true against the elite teams.

Clarkson could also stay close on shots - they also have a solid team with offensive upside.

I considered the Golden Knights, but they didn't come particularly close to BC in the tourney last year or in either game at Wisconsin. Against good teams last year, they seemed much more conservative than their NCAA Championship team.

Yeesh. All I said was I thought we played sloppy and I'm not sure yet how good of a weekend it was yet lol

Hey Grant, how come you haven't had recaps of the women's team? Carpenter scores her 100th goal today and ties Stack's career points record and nothing. You are slipping son!

It's coming! I didn't realize the Ivy League Digital Network doesn't immediately archive games so I wasn't grabbing the goals as they happened. The NCHC uses the same platform so I made sure to get them as they happened for the men's game. By the time the men's game was over it was after midnight and by the time I finished the article it was like 1am so I just went to bed. The plan is to get the women's game up before today's game starts assuming Cornell has the game archived by now...

Last week I missed out on the UNH win too; Sunday was tough as I was out with family streaming the game on my phone and didn't get back until late. Excuses, I know!

Nice to know someone actually looks for it haha

EDIT: Game isn't archived yet but extensive highlights are on YouTube which actually makes my GIFing life easier. I hope they put it up eventually because I wanted to grab the whole last 5 minutes where BC played down 1 & 2 (& 3!) skaters and put it on YouTube. That was a thrill.

They should. It is usually not up until the following week sometime.

That was a most enjoyable game. Two shorties on the same penalty kill! Trivigno should take penalties more often.
