Boston University Terriers 2026-2027 season…insert clever title here!

Today was more an indicator of where BU stands amongst the better national teams than last night where they caught MSU with their pants down. The NPI points are real from last night so it was a successful trip BUT also a buzzkill overall imo. To let a team that they knew was going to come out of the gate charged up score on the first shift was a gut check fail that some were eluding to earlier
 
Need to flush this one. Some nights will be like this - it is a road game at a powerhouse and we took them out good last night. Had good opportunities, it just wasn’t going in tonight and their goalie was on. Glad this wasn’t a playoff game. I think they’re fine. Come back home and start again.
 
For the love of God Jofa, give it a rest. MSU is the #3 ranked team in the country. And BU is still feeling their way and getting better as a team. And they traveled to their rink and earned a split.

Three players, including two defensemen, were injured so they were playing shorthanded from the get go. While I was hoping for a closer game tonight, I’m good with the weekend’s results. It’s November 7. This weekend should go a long way to help them down the road.

Absolutely agree. I would say this team is ahead of schedule.

Fair point but I heard Pandolfo’s postgame and he thought the effort was weak and that the Lawrence line had a bad game. I was glad to hear his disgust and not celebrating a split. A split feels better when you win the second one.
 
as a person with rooting interest on both sides (baby shark in net for spartans), MSU desperately needed this and im not surprised it happened. plus ravensbergen rarely has two bad showings in a row. it was also a pretty quick turnaround with the travel the day before and losing a few vets to injury etc... result in the situation against a top 5 team means not sounding any alarms but absolutely worth taking the lessons learned and getting ready for the next game, which based on the postgame Jofa mentioned appears to be Pandolfo's idea. hes not gonna sugar coat the performance but its not a doom and gloom.

on to the next, let's hope everyone heals swiftly.
 
Welp... I hope this was a learning experience. I'm glad they have to get right back on the horse Tuesday night.
 
Sometimes we forget how hard it can be to play a sport, stay healthy and achieve your goals…if Fondryk broke his wrist that will be two straight years with an injury costing him time. That cannot be easy to handle…hopefully they can get him back on the ice in as short a time as possible. At least this year he can still skate and keep his fitness up. Hopefully his teammates, the staff and his family can help him respond to this setback.
 
Anyone remember what Beanpot tickets were the past couple of years? $82 per seat seems steep for college hockey… is that a big increase from last year or am I misremembering?
 
I just read the latest terrier hockey blog post (thank you all who put that together) and was surprised by the bu hockey stats game 2 comparison. It seems, based on the stats, game 2 was more evenly played than the score suggests. If so, that is good news. Does anyone who was able to watch agree with that assessment?

Tonight is a trap game. Harvard will come out pushing and if they don't equal that or exceed it they will drop this one.
