Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

The Eagles brought it last night playing with their backs to the wall. It's that time of year... win or go home. Bring it again tonight.
Hickey sure hates losing. That's ok, I hate losing too, but I don't beat the chit out of my opponent when I lose. That's not OK.
Walking through the concourse after the game and scored 3 Loge seats for tonight's game from a very nice and gracious BU student. Really nice kid.

Can someone please put out an APB on Scarlet? I'm still at the Garden, waiting. It's dark in here. ;)
Methinks you got stood up old friend. Typical ISTBU chick.

Hard to say why they couldn't play like this in the last month when at one point they we #4 in the country. Then the losses to HU and North Dakata sent them into a tailspin for the rest of the season.

Ryan Fitzgerald finally made his presence this year last night on offense and it will be needed again tonight if they want to advance. He got injured in the HU game and took awhile to return.

They're up 3-0 with less than 3 minutes left and they go too much into a defensive mode that almost cost them.

Let's hope they can keep it alive tonight against another team they could not beat this season.

Were there any BC suspensions from last night's game ending brawl ?

They were defending against an extra attacker (6 on 5). Not much choice but to play D. Both BU goals were EA.

No suspensions.
 
I thought I was. :p



(it's all in good fun)

Not sure why that acronym stands for. At the moment I don't particularly care because I'm torn between so incredibly disappointed in my team and feeling the satisfaction of being so right about the Eagles. So JD..when you ask who had BC in this position, I believe I was the only one who did. You can all thank me at any time. :)

FH12....I'm sorry! I totally missed your post that you were going to be there. Totally would've come over to say hi. Though given the mood I was in, it may have been a good idea that you didn't see me in that state. Heh. I actually left after BC scored their third goal. I decided not to pay the $1325 that TD Garden charges for parking and left my car at work (good call on my part) so I needed to take the T there and given that it was St. Patrick's Day....well, I really had no desire to spend any longer than I needed out and about.

pro - haven't had the cooking lesson with my mom yet for stuffed grape leaves. That's coming after learning how to make lamb and galatoboureko. Once I learn, I'll let you know. Won't offer you any, but I'm sure you'll be happy to know I have added them to my Greek cooking repertoire. Which is growing. My mom is SUCH a good cook.

Good luck tonight. I know UML is playing at another level at the moment, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see you guys win tonight, get to the NCAAs and screw some poor school in another conference out of an NCAA berth. That will be the best result if you guys win tonight.

Phew... I can go home now. Forget the olive branch... bring lamb! :D

I think that honor may go to ND and PC. ND was absolutely putrid last night, and they just swept PC a week ago. :eek:
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

ND was absolutely putrid last night

So I've seen ND several times this year (because they're on the NBC Notre Dame Network all the time). I'll tell you this. They were "putrid" because Lowell MADE them putrid. This is what Lowell does. They slow you down and take you right out of sync so that you grind to a halt. ND gave up halfway through the second period last night.

Thanks for the lesson. I don't get to see many hockey games on tv.
How does Lowell do what they do?

ND's defense not so good. Overrated goaltending. JMO. One in done in the dance. No lo contesto.

Edit: jekyl-hyde goaltending. Pitch a shutout today, give up 6 tomorrow (which could be the direct result of the D). The kid is capable of stealing some games.

I just read on the Globe's website that Father Monan has passed away. He was President of BC for many years. I had the pleasure to meet him once back in the '80s. He was also one of my wife's professors. Terrific man who did many great things for BC as well as the Boston area. Rest in peace.

Believe he was in charge when York finally got the BC job. York hasn't forgotten.

He was in charge while i was there, sad to hear that.

Scarlet, grape leaves are one of my favorites. I had asked FiveHole12 to give you my best, then you stood him up ;) so i'll give you my best here .
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

No complaints from me. They are better than some at large teams that will make the field but that can happen. Happy to see the response in the league tourney and in the game tonight.

I will say one guy they needed more from was Colin White. Needed him to be at his best.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Great game and tournament. The Fitzgerald goal was fun to watch.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

The Eagles left it all out there on the ice tonight. No puck luck like they had last night.
Proud of them. They played Eagle hockey and went down swinging.
A good nucleus returns next season. Looking forward to it!
Nice season young Eagles! Thanks for the memories seniors and best wishes in your future endeavors.
