First half strong....LOL you lost to Holy Cross.Very weird game but nice to get back on track
Finish the first half strong tomorrow night
Great to see Doherty out there
Hockey East refs: Let's see... one of D-1's best players already has a breakaway goal on the night. He receives a pass just over center ice and with 1 d-man to beat for another breakaway, he pushes the puck past the d-man then slides around him. He's off to the races again... except... TvR has one chance to stop the breakaway and he takes it... he hooks JG to the ice. JG called for embellishment... are you chitting me? That's a 90% chance of a goal and JG would prefer a PP? The refs conferred at center ice to come up with that gem. Some day I am hoping they meet at center ice to help each other remove their heads from their arses.
This seems especially so with UNH -- especially once BC got a lead it was like a track meet with all of our odd-man rushes.UNH can't handle BCs speed. Like many teams, they will press but BC will get puck control and off they go on a 2 on 1. Very dangerous set of forwards
The Brown line logged a ton of minutes last night, presumably to match up with UNH line? I wasn't crazy about seeing them on the ice for what seemed like every other shift, but if we're going to come away with 6-2 wins because of it, I'm all in.![]()
Capt. Brown gotta stay outa the box though!
Calnan/Gilmour/Silk looked good, although Silk has trouble keeping up with the frosh. Very few minutes for that line in the third. Silk, Straight, Sit cannot skate like the newcomers, IMO. Now that the frosh have sowed their oats at this level, maybe put a frosh line together and a triple S line... 'S' for slow, or, Silk-Sit-Straight.![]()
Not sure why everyone here and over on EA is beating up on Straight so much, the kid had a goal and an assist and was +2 last night. It's pretty clear he doesn't make a lot happen by himself, but when paired with skilled linemates, he is a legit scoring threat, certainly more so than Silk and some others..
