Before they swept Maine at Agganis last season it had been 11 years since BU had last swept an opponent in a weekend series during the regular season. They've done better in the postseason, sweeping quarterfinal series at Agganis in '13, '15, '16, '17 and '18. If I counted correctly that's just 7 out of the last 25 series at Agganis that they've swept.

Wow, hard to believe even the Eichel- led Terriers didn't do it.

To be fair that team only had one regular weekend home series and they did sweep Merrimack in the HE quarterfinals. They also swept a weekend series at Vermont and both weekend home games against Michigan State and Michigan.

BTW, this is the first season BU has had 3 regular season weekend series at Agganis.

Soooo, Arizona State sweeps Cornell last weekend, then BU sweeps Arizona State. Cornell sweeps North Dakota. I don’t think it means anything. Just wanted to share.

it was good to see pucks go in the net this weekend. Not going to lie, though. When ASU scored to make it 4-2, I had visions of them collapsing again.
 
Yes, a little too close at the end, but a win is a win. Not quite as good as last night, but darn good. We’re finding the back of the net now and the goaltending is doing the job. Let’s keep it rolling….really can only afford 1 loss per month from here on out. If we play similar to the way we did this weekend, it may be possible.

Yes, crazy! Unfortunately I missed much of the second game & all of the first. Stats on the second game looked similar. What was your takeaway on why/how BU won?

Good luck to your team on the rest of the season. Always liked BU. Best televised - wasn't there - college hockey game I've ever seen was that 2009 natty game. Was in a bar in Oklahoma & everyone was wondering why I was yelling at the TV.
 
Great to see the offense get rolling. Defensive zone still needs work. So passive in their own zone it looks like they are on penalty kill when it’s 5v5. Defense wins and this teams needs to be more dedicated in the dzone if they want to beat the tough teams.
 
So, Arizona State throttles Northeastern with Levi in goal tonight 6-2 putting up 25 SOG in the first period. What? Were they missing key players? I guess we knew they had that offensive potential. UConn lost to AIC tonight as well. Hockey East is really down recently out of conference. Anyway we moved up to 26 in the PWR with those results. I feel like we’re being teased. If we can manage a win this weekend against UConn, we have the 2 against Vermont which should be wins. From there who knows? I know, I’m getting ahead of myself, but I can’t help it.
 
I was just looking at the Hockey East standings and BU has played more games than all the other teams in the league. Most are in the 10-11 game range, BU has played 13. This does not bode well because at some point BU will be done and can't do more while other teams can vault over them. Given their current position in the standings, every point will count now. I'm curious as to how the next three games will go.

Has there been any mention about Case McCarthy's injury?
 
The U.S. Olympic roster will be announced at 5 p.m. ET today on ESPN2's The Point and I won't be surprised if Commesso is invited. Albie was asked about the Olympics during today's media call:

I think other teams in our league will get hit. I don’t think it’s just us, [then quickly]... if it does happen… The U.S. and Canadian college teams that have those players, they’re going to lose some important players to their rosters, but it’s an opportunity for guys who might never have an opportunity to play for an Olympic team, especially if the NHL players are in.

Hearing that Canada has invited NU's Levi and that BC's Hellerson is on the U.S. roster.
 
We lost our goalie. : (

And BC and Harvard lost 2 players each. (Didn't see that one coming)
