It was a good game, terrific defense, for the most part, blocked a lot of shots but lost too many Dzone face offs. There were stretches were Maine were buzzing but they couldn't score. The time out was really necessary as they were gassed. Hagen's first goal was textbook PP, what a shot. Face offs are this team's achilles heel. I love Rezendes, his goal was just inspired and much needed, but he has to dial back the penalties. Most of them are of undisciplined variety. His penalty cost them a goal. BC will need to bring it tonight because Barr was not in a good mood at the end of the game and he let them know it. He was pretty animated after Hagen's second goal. Th injury adversity has really helped bring them together and forced other players to step up.

Bad turnover right in front and Maine is up 1. Then while the pp three BC denders bunch up in the corner and it is 2 nothing. Terrible first period. Second wasn't a lot better. WIth a 2-0 lead Maine is just trapping in the neutral zone. Need a goal early because Maine is playing their game and BC is not able to break through and open it up. Still 20 minutes left, lot of hockey left.

My bad.
Sad night all around and hope Langlois is ok. The Eagles played like a bunch of Turkeys tonight.
Moore (-3) and Minnetian (-2) were ghastly all night and their failed connection on the first Maine goal gift-wrapped an early goal for Maine and it went downhill from there for both of them. Not a great idea making that pass but Moore also should have been ready for it. They weren't ready to play. Moore then took a nap while a Maine man on the PK went in 1-on-3 and left the backdoor wide open for a tap-in. And then another 1-on-3 resulted in a rebound flying right past Minnetian. Felt bad for Cloutier who made some insane saves in the 2nd period to keep it tight(ish); he had no chance on all 3 goals.
Faceoffs remain a massive unsolved problem. I believe at one point they lost 12 in a row and were down to about 20% for the night but then won some and got it up into the 30% range. Stopped keeping track once it became garbage time. This team started the night 51st in the country and will surely drop another spot or two. It's extremely difficult to be this bad at faceoffs. Hagens was 31% and Berard went 0 for 5.
It's tough to sweep and get a full 6 points and the 5-game win streak was fun and got BC back into the conversation for maybe a chance at getting chumped in the NCAAs again by a team that can win faceoffs. Some big games coming up in the meantime, Friday game against Notre Dame (5th in the country in faceoffs) is a big one against a B1G team and the WMU matchup over the break (and possible Wisconsin matchup should they somehow win) are going to be big as well. Either way, they need to clean things up considerably and worry about Friday's game.

Hopefully they can close out the semester with 3 wins, Notre Dame & UML. 10-5-1 would not be bad after the horrendous 2-4-1 start. Nice 5-game ends but time to start another streak. Maine did the right thing starting Rousseau and they were obviously ready after last night and got off to a quick 2-0 lead thanks to BC's gaffs at the beginning of the game Friday's game is a 1:00 PM start FYI.
