Re: Boston College Hockey 2010-2011, Part III - Championship Season Has Begun
Can't believe the team choked this bad. Definitely overlooked this team and was way too over confident. Thought York was better than that.
Just a pathetic showing by everyone on the ice and the coaches. Not a single BC player deserves any kind of praise.
Also, can't believe we just pulled a UNH. Going to have to lay off them until we fix it (even though we have actually won titles). We probably even took their method of choking and doubled it.
The team played like ****. It happens. I still stand by my posts and everything said in them. It has nothing to do with "throwing them under the bus," it was just calling things like they were.
I don't get how that is at all similiar to making a "Fire Jerry York" thread. Is it because I realized the game was over when we went down 7-2 and you held out some hope? Rather then forcing myself to watch that garbage play, I shut it off and was okay with the result. If they came back miraculously, I would have looked stupid but you could clearly tell that they weren't all there tonight.
Thanks for the input though. We still have 2 of the last 4 titles which is more than anyone else can claim. Like I said, I hope this loss motivates the guys who could potentially leave to come back and give it another go at the title.
This team choked, way over confident, thought York was better than that, pathetic showing by players and coaches, not one player deserves any praise, double choked, etc., etc.
Tell ya what... how about you provide us with your definition of throwing a team and it's coaches under a bus?
Don't know how many games you see in a season, or if you know squat about hockey, but it seems to me you don't have a whole lot of understanding about the game.
Like all college teams, BC has it's flaws, as they did last season, the season before that, and before that, etc., it's just that the Eagles overall talent has usually carried them through. Last night, Colorado College exposed those flaws and beat us with their speed and exceptionally placed shots on goal. John Muse usually stops a high percentage of those shots, but last night, CC just put the puck in the right places. (John Muse had nothing to do with that loss IMO).
If you were at the Ledyard Tourney this past December, you saw two games that played out exactly like last night. The difference... the speed and talent level of Colgate and Mercyhurst were nowhere near that of CC, and... John Muse stood on his head. We have seen many other games this season where there were BC breakdowns and the other team failed to capitalize (John Muse) or BC just outscored them.
BC came to play last night... they skated hard to the end and created some great chances ( I will suggest the score could have been 4-3 or 4-4 after the first, if not for Howe's stellar play). But, the puck did not bounce our way and didn't all night long. Am I suggesting that BC played well? Nope... far from their 'A' game, but they weren't, as you say, pathetic. They won a number of games this season playing like last night. They ran into a very good team that beat us at our own game.
Give credit where credit is due. CC beat us last night, we didn't lose it. Deal with it.
