Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II
When's the last time anyone saw a BC game played with only 2 penalties called over 62 minutes? That was pretty special witnessing that last night.
As for Muse/Milner. I'm not going to second guess the coaching staff on which guy they go with. I think both guys are capable of getting the job done, and big game experience is one reason I'd throw Milner in a UNH game for the RS title. I really feel either guy is capable of leading us to the promised land. We're pretty fortunate in that regard. Whatever the coaches decide, I'm all for it.
Good Morning...long time no post!
Great victory last evening. As fans, don't allow yourselves to get hung up in a goalie controversy. Both goalie are capable of doing what needs to be done to win the conference title, HE tournament, NCAA tournament if the boys commit to disciplined hockey in their own end. Coach York knows what he is doing with respect to the net minders and I believe his confidence in both is very high.
The difference for this club going forward is what we saw last night in a playoff hockey scenario...no panic, poise from so many freshmen...Krieder's game winner from Mullane, Wey's assist on Whitney's first goal, Milner's sturdy performance in the nets! These are all examples of the significant leadership on this club from staff, captains, seniors, juniors, and sophomores since day one. I still cannot get over how strong the assimilation process has been to integrate these young players into important contributing roles.
You could get the flavor of that when listening to Chris during the postgame as he credited his line mates for his improved scoring...no me just we! I just hope this club continues to set the bar of performance higher of themselves no matter what the outcomes may be. Their potential is only just now starting to be visible as they light it up on offense and play relentlessly in their own end! This team blocks shots, wins puck battles, supports one another whenever bad things occur. Those are signs of a very special hockey team and chemistry rarely seen in sport today.
Wins and losses will take care of themselves if this team continues their commitment to each other and their "specific roles" and "contributions" to team goals.
Great effort last night...keeping everyone on edge and finding a way to work hard until the final goal was scored! Focus on Friday and Friday only!
Go BC.
