Comical? That was one of the dirtiest hits I have seen in 20 plus years of watching Hockey East. He deserved the gate for it!
Amazing recovery.
That was a pretty epic turnaround/collapse. The 1st half of that game was as well as I have seen them play in a long time. They were just toying with BU. Credit to BU for identifying that BC was getting cocky and started those long breakout passes.
Kudos to them and good luck to UML tomorrow.
Hopefully UML takes care of them tomorrow for a little payback from 2009. And that will be that...BU going home, BC in the tourney.
Oh, and would be nice to get that York guy back behind the bench...
... I'm not giving up on this team.
Edit: Especially if we get another shot at BU.CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!
-c'mon people. jump on that train!

I am much more optimistic about this team than I have been over the last month or two. That was a very good 35 minutes of hockey we played last night, the best we've looked in a long while and against a very good team. Hell, when we were lighting it up against NU and VT for a kazillion goals we didn't look as good as we did last night.
Two goal lead... most dangerous lead in hockey. Breeds complacency. Have a week to fix the breakdowns we had last night resulting in the odd man rushes.
Look at the conference tourney's around the country. The only conference with it's top teams still standing is Hockey East. Playoff pressure can do funny things to teams and players. I think each HE team has a chance to fair quite well in the NCAA's. And our Eagles have been there, done that, many times. Experience on the big stage can pay dividends... I'm not giving up on this team.
It was so sudden and that 1st goal was a beauty by BU. I think Rodriguez held the puck and faked his defender helplessly flat on the ice and picked the top corner.
