It is a great position to be in at this point in the season approaching February. We’re also in great position in the PWR. Like you said, probably not running the table, but I would say 0.500 is a minimum with this team. I ran the PWR with us winning every other game, and it put us at 11 (absent all other results). I figure we’ll at least go at our current win % of 0.739. I think that keeps us in the 5-10 range in all likelihood. Better than that and I think we can get into the top 4. This is all a welcome change and I’m loving it! This team is capable and is a scoring machine compared with most in the NCAA. The only thing I worry about is that tournaments are single elimination, and we have that occasional defensive dud of a game. I’m sure Jay can work that out of them over the last 2 months.

I would like to see Vinny get at least one of the remaining games. One of the UVM games is the obvious choice.
BC in two days. Lots of tape to chew on with regards to what NOT to do in their own end. I hope Dom is able to go.

Per the Boston Hockey Blog Twitter account:
Per Pandolfo, Domenick Fensore and Jamie Armstrong are day-to-day and skated today. Will be game-day decisions tomorrow. Ethan Phillips still has not returned to the ice.
Peterson did not play the last period against Maine- Was he injured? Did no one ask Pandolfo?

I believe he was benched. A couple Maine goals came from Peterson mistakes.
For those going to the game tonight, I received this gem in my inbox.

I guess the athletic department was taken aback that BU-BC is a big draw.

Fensore not playing tonight. Thanks Maine. Armstrong is back, though.
That’s not good. I hope the team worked on coverages and responsibilities in the D zone and have a good plan to deny BC of easy opportunities. You can’t do anything about bad bounces, but need to be in the right spots. Also need a solid game in goal. I have no doubt we can create offense and put up enough goals on this edition of BC hockey.

I've got two seats for tomorrow night at BC that aren't spoken for. I paid $70. If interested, reply here and we'll connect. Thanks.
I would have preferred we kept our energy after the late goals with ourselves and the crowd instead of taunting, but it really didn’t matter at that point I guess. Great work getting that one at the end of the first. I thought that was key. BC was playing well, especially defensively, to that point. They got that bounce for the first goal, but Commesso was awesome. The scoring was again superb. Our first line wasn’t even on the sheet and we still put up 6. Over our now 5 game win streak we are averaging 6 per game - wow! Feels like the 90’s!

That's scraping the bottom of the barrel. That was complete garbage time.
Big win for the boys. And they go 5-0 on this home stand. It wasn’t the best played game. The first period was pretty blah. And if I read the scoreboard correctly, they only won one face off in the second period. And it got a little out of hand in the third. They need to tighten things up tomorrow. I don’t think that will fly at Conte. But…a win over BC is always good!

Seems like the back to backs have been splits for a long time with maybe an occasional BC sweep. Like to know the last time BU swept. Would be nice to win season series but expect there will be more games in Beanpot and HE playoffs. Got to take advantage while we can as next year BC could start a strong stretch.

16-17 was the last BU weekend sweep. That's the last time either team swept a weekend series. BC hasn't swept since 10-11. A couple of seasons in that time there was no two-game weekend series.
A lot to unpack about last night. I’ll lead with this: The atmosphere was electric. Where were the BC fans? The Dog Pound was in full force at Conte last month.
I loved seeing the chippiness. It feels like the rivalry has some extra juice and I’m here for it.
Did they go a bit too far after the 6th goal? Perhaps, but this team has swagger. And personality. And they have fun playing the sport. All good things.
I know that now is not the time, but we’re going to have to talk about how they handled the Fensore situation if it’s, as I strongly suspect, a concussion.
I’ve never seen a goalie pulled like that. Right after the Dog Pound let him have it. What was that all about?
Do they back up their swagger tonight? Can their top 4 D hold up after all the minutes they logged? Does the Dog Pound travel as well as they did in December? Do they wear the red dogs? (I like BC’s uni’s, but the name font is too small.)

I was wondering the same thing. While I saw a lot of BC jerseys walking the concourse, I didn’t see a big group of fans together.

What annoyed me about that was it was on the cusp of getting out of hand. I didn’t want them to take their collective skate off BC’s neck. I get a lot of it was due to the god awful officiating. However, they have to play BC at Conte tonight. I can’t really explain this clearly but if last night was a stand-alone game, I don’t think I would have minded it as much.

Yeah, this concerns me a bit. I don’t think he’s playing tonight either.

I noticed when they pulled him he went down the tunnel. He came back, but I wonder if there was something else going on there.

I was thinking the same thing about their name font!! They had space to make it bigger.
Hoping they keep it going tonight!!
Good info so it has been rare even years when the teams aren’t as close record wise. The 16-17 team was post Eichel I believe? I dont recall what kind of year that was. McAvoy Keller ?16-17 was the last BU weekend sweep. That's the last time either team swept a weekend series. BC hasn't swept since 10-11. A couple of seasons in that time there was no two-game weekend series.

The information I've heard is that it is not a concussion. I don't know exactly what was injured, but that it's not that.
Pure guess, some kind of muscle injury that may have seemed OK in the moment to return but the following day swelled or got worse and he's not able to be a full game participant
I do know from their IG account the kids sold 120 tickets or so for tonight down there.
16-17 was the Keller/McAvoy team that beat UND in Fargo.
