BU got destroyed in last years playoffs...if not for Oettinger it could have been 6-1after 2 periods at BU....the game at Lowell I think BU had 8 shots after two periods but keep believing it's even.

and if the bc goalie didn't play great Friday night we would have won. Except goaltending is part of the game so it wasn't 6-1 after 2 periods.
Honestly I believe David Quinn stole your girlfriend in college. time to get over it

And it's an early start out there. Gonna be weird seeing that as the first game of the tournament
 
Re: BU 2017 Season Thread III: Terriers falling (into the off season)

why not switch western Michigan and BU? I realize bracket integrity but certainly rewards those fans that want to see their team play. I see 500 fans (maybe) at the air Force-western Michigan game. What a joke. only 6 real eastern teams in the tournament and 2 get sent out west.

Well, if BU somehow makes it out of this bracket and into Chicago, at least no one will be able to whine that BU doesn't belong there or had an easy ride.

It's not a joke to follow bracket integrity. By and large that is what happened.

Not a joke, but they certainly didn't follow recent precedent by not making more attendance swaps.

Unless I missed some media somewhere, I don't believe any college hockey media correctly predicted the bracket.

Then Western should be playing Cornell. That's 6-11. It should either be all chalk or all region. They are having it both ways.

They always have it both ways. That's how this works. It's never all one way of thinking. It's what they think is the best combination of bracket integrity and attendance.

Actually if you look up the advanced metrics the top 6 D get over 33% of their shots blocked which is not good..Diffley around 38% and that terrible player Switzer 8%

UML's top 6 D got 33.1% of their shots blocked, so I guess they're not very good either.:rolleyes: I also checked top ranked Denver's top 6 D and they had 32.8% of their shots blocked, so I guess they stink as well. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

How many fans will be at the Air Force -Western Michigan game (2nd game of the doubleheader) in Providence? 500? Talk about a dreary atmosphere for an NCAA tournament game. Just play it at the Moses Brown rink- that should fit all the fans who want to be there
