Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

Re: Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

NESN is only showing Game 2 tomorrow night? That’s what their web site says

When I looked a couple days ago, it seemed as if the NESN time slot for Game 2 was only maybe 2 hours, so I'm not sure they're even showing the whole thing. Both are on NESN+ in their entirety. If you get that channel and are setting the DVR, that is the channel you want to record.

It's surprising they have only met twice in the NCAAs. That is just crazy to me.

A little surprising, but it seems that on a national level, their ups and downs have mirrored each other. When one team has been really good, the other has been bad. At least that is how I think of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I think more recently it has been a mixed bag.

All of us in Detroit in 1990 were really hoping for another title game matchup, but Colgate and Wisconsin had other plans...

From 1948 through 1980, with 2 exceptions (1960 & 1978), only 2 eastern teams made the NCAA Tournament and the only time those two teams were BU & BC was 1950. In 1960 the eastern selection committee mandated two play-in games, Dartmouth at BU and BC at SLU, which BU & SLU won and in 1978 BU played a quarterfinal game at PC. So, for the first 33 years the two teams met once out of three possible times. From 1981 through 2017 the teams met once out of 13 possible times. Below are the years and round that they would have met/did meet:
1984 Semifinal
1986 Semifinal
1990 Championship
1991 Championship
1998 Championship
2000 Semifinal
2003 Semifinal
2005 Regional Final
2006 Regional Final*
2007 Championship
2012 Semifinal
2015 Championship
2016 Championship

Game could have gone either way.

Hopefully BC upgrades its defense next year. BU goal #3 and #4 was just poor BC defense.

A respectable year but not great. See everyone in October.

Your season isn't over yet. BC is 4% to make the tournament.
You need the PC/NU winner to beat BU
Clarkson to win ECAC
North Dakota to lose the third place game tomorrow

I don't think any other games matter to you, but I'll run more scenarios after all the games go final.

Northern Michigan would also need to beat Michigan Tech.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

All of those games would be the favorite winning. I don’t know who determines there's a 4% chance of that happening but it's not a stretch.

Great team. Bar none. You know that. BC head up and be proud!
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

The funny thing is North Dakota would be better off not having to play a consolation game. Can't jump Minnesota by winning.

So would Duluth. If there was no 3rd place game, Duluth would already have clinched. They should just kick the puck around for 65 minutes and take a 0-0 draw. Duluth clinches, and North Dakota doesn't need to worry about the WCHA Final. :p:D:D

It isn't so much a 4% chance as it is only in 4% of scenarios. That's about to go up as games go final (Denver just won).

Laugh all you want. But we will we rebuild. Gooo!
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

Clarkson
Providence
Northern Michigan
Minnesota-Duluth

Need these 4 "favorites" to win. Who will let BC down? :)
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2017-2108 Season Thread

Good game, you guys have some good young talent. Woll played a great game - he and Oettinger have a nice little rivalry going. The Krys to Cotton to Matillia goal had a little "Kevin Shaeffer to Brian Boyle in Worcester" feel to it.

You aren't out of it yet.

fabulous game as we knew it would be, typical BC-BU in an important game. No complaints here.
