I'm watching. It's not bad. The audio is Left only it seems for some reason.

Edit to add: Arena mic is left only. Commentators coming on are in stereo.

Also. Either no liveblog or the crew got stuck in traffic driving up.

Not sure if it was my wifi, but I kept getting a freezing screen. Got worse in the third period. Missed the actual action on Hickey's goal.

Solid road win. Good job winning 2 games that we needed. Oettinger once again with a strong game. Only goal against was a Colby Cohen special.

Agreed, the video feed was certainly good enough. They kept showing that family dressed in BU colors with every good BU play.

Got in touch with StretchInternet (who do the BU audio feed) and there's no way to delay their stream. Bernie's BU call was about a minute ahead of the Maine video feed. If I could have delayed him enough to sync it, would have been perfect. But there's no way to do that at the present time. First world problems, i know. Just being able to watch away games, especially from Maine, is great.

I didn't know until tonight that we lost Fox Sports College on Comcast on 12/31/16 until tonight. I didn't watch it a ton, but it was occasionally useful. Not happy, especially considering the boatload I pay Comcast monthly, and will contact them Monday.

Good to see Penn State lose two. And on to Merrimack!

Good luck with that. The sports entertainment package has channels periodically removed and migrated to the more standard packages diminishing its value. It still has ESPNU for the first weekend of the NCAA hockey tournament.

Yes, that's more than disappointing. Strangely, the Comcast channel guide still details the programming on three FCS stations. But when you click on one of them a screen message notes that the station is no longer available on this channel "but soon you will be able to stream it through XFinity."

Zero even-strength goals against Oettinger in the last four games; one 5-on-5 goal since his return from the WJCs (the bank shot off his back at Fenway)

"In Oett, we trust." ™ ;):D

Three games this week. Going to be a test of their strength and conditioning.

BU is your new #1 ranked team. A bit of a surprise. I was thinking BU #2-3 with Duluth on top.

#3 in the pairwise.

Not much of one. Both teams ahead of BU had at least one loss. And [whiny, frontrunner, pink hat-ish comment] why do they always seem to get ranked #1 when they have a game either Monday or a Tuesday? They inevitably lose once they get that ranking and never let me enjoy it for a full week.[/whiny, frontrunner, pink hat-ish comment] :D

Count me surprised since UMD swept North Dakota--in Grand Forks--with a shutout in the second game, and UMD is still ranked #1 in PWR & KRACH. Definitely a bullseye this team doesn't need on its back.

Less surprising is Oettinger getting HE Defensive Player of the Week.

Well if a loss is inevitable this week, I'm reasonably sure it won't happen Tuesday.:D

Surprised because I thought BU would be 3rd behind Denver (beat BU twice) and Duluth (beat North Dakota at North Dakota twice last weekend). BU only 3 points behind Duluth so it was close.

I actually just noticed that Duluth had more first place votes. And beating North Dakota at North Dakota? Heck, Michigan State did that!
 
Re: BU 2016-17 Season Thread I: The Kids are Alright

Connor LaCouvee gets the start tomorrow night at Merrimack.

Also - saw on Twitter that ASN is televising the WMU @ Miami game this week. And Colby Cohen is going there as part of the broadcast team. Hope he wears his ring. :)
