They hustled throughout most of the game and appeared to care. That's all I've been looking for the past few weeks: effort.

Oksanen almost completed his "signature move", that is let the puck dribble through his legs and give up a break away. Macguire stopped the bid and saved his bacon.

Much better first two periods than we have seen in a while.

We looked more gassed in the third than Vermont, which I think led to taking some of those penalties... shots on goal got skewed from it too, but Maguire stood strong when we needed him to.

I wish I had watched for the lines more. I wonder if we were rolling 3 lines to Vermont's 4. I think I only noticed our 4th line out there once... that could account for the tired legs in the 3rd.

I wonder where this was for the past 2 months?

Anyway, I hope it is something we can build on...

At this point a win is a win. I think having 17 back is a big help though he's clearly not 100pct

Hope these guys can build off this and get some confidence

This was presumably against lesser competition, but where was that for the past year and a half?

I think you answered your own question. USHL is a lower level than D-1, so I expected he would produce at that level. If he didn't produce at that level, someone in the Blues organization would likely lose their job.

Ahti has had some **** periods this yr, but this 2nd takes the cake

Attendance was strong tonight. Maybe we should have more 4:00pm Saturday games.

Wow this team is just really bad. Not sure how they got a W on Friday night, but there is just nothing there. Just before Duane's goal, I was struggling to recall a legitimate offensive opportunity other than O'Regan's goal, IN THE ENTIRE GAME. Oksanen epitomizes what is going on. Nobody knows what to do with the puck when there is any sort of pressure. Simple pushes up the ice by the defensemen when they come out from behind the net are rolling too far in front of them for turnovers. Oksanen's cough up for the SHG…..puck rolls off his stick, so he tries to bank it off the boards, but doesn't get the angle right so it is intercepted, then he never looks up to see that another Catamount is streaking down center ice until the pass has gone past him. Maguire didn't do too well either.

One bright spot, Moccia gets his first appearance and makes a save.

The part that is unacceptable is that these are not close games these are total mismatches in every aspect of the game . Friday night they were badly outshot and VT was the better team. Say what you want about injuries and departures (which every team has) these are D1 recruits which were recruited and offered a $200 k scholarship to play here . Coaches and players need to be accountable for this embarrassment no excuses . Somerby needs to payback the school and whoever recruited him dismissed he couldn't play at any collegiate level

Time to get some things off my chest

- There is zero culture to compete on this team. Zero. And the captains share a great deal of responsibility for this. #13 couldn't have looked more disinterested in playing a hockey game yesterday afternoon.
- They don't appear to have any offensive game plan or scheme. Zero.
- The goaltending is spotty at best.
- Bench Energy: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being "**** 'em! This is Your Time" and 1 being "Rod Rust" They are at -1 right now.
- Danny O'Regan is a good hockey player. He deserves better.
- The not so flying Fin needs a hockey head-shrink. He's a mess.
- The National Anthem is not an American Idol audition. It has a tempo.
- Whoever is in charge of the Agganis message board should be fired. Last night's gems? Showing highlights from the 1995 National Championship game and posting the final score as 8-3. Posting: "See you next week against UMass Lowell."
- The stick salute at the end of a ****-poor performance is embarrassing for everyone. Just stop it.

Fact, not Opinion.

BU Hockey: Fix It
