BU: '22-'23 Season: Sail The Boats

Overall it was a very promising weekend. The Friday night game was over with the two simultaneous majors...cannot have that in any game and expect to win. The lack of discipline cost them that game and never game them a chance. I did think BU was the better team 5v5 but if you take 9 penalties + 2 majors you are going to lose at this level no matter who you play. Sunday was a great sign as they bounced back and played well and took the split. Hopefully they learned from that Friday night and STAY OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX. This team is talented enough to beat anyone 5v5 but if you march to the penalty box all night you are going to lose more games than you win. Play hard, stay DISCIPLINED is the key to success. Skill will take over. I will take a split with Michigan at their rink and hopefully they will learn from Friday.

Except on the game-winner, thanks to Brown's deke.

And thanks to Skoog's screen, too. When O'Brien made the cross-ice pass to Brown, Skoog scooted across the goalmouth, dragging a D-man with him--both ending up in front of the goalie. Skoog also took away Portillo's eyes on Fensore's goal. No scoresheet points for him but two huge plays. No wonder Pandolfo singled him out for a "really good" game.

Late in the third period, Skoog had the puck behind the Michigan goal line, relatively unmarked. Did he give a thought to doing a "Michigan" against Michigan? Maybe.
 
BU stays at 9 abd Mich up to 5. Not a huge deal. Happy to see Hockey East teams having success against OOC teams so far this year though. Will help in the long run. On to #14 Uconn

Out of curiosity, anyone know if Hockey East's OOC are valued higher (Meaning against non HEA teams)? I don't know all the math, but since as a conference, some teams play less games against typical OOC opponents. For instance, the beanpot as well as NU and BC play a game or 2 this season that counts as OOC.

Tricky way to word it, but if someone understands or has any idea what the heck I'm talking about that's a success!

I wasn’t able to watch but the various reports on the weekend make it sound like Pando told them to go in physical and Fridays game they sort of over did it and got burned in the penalty box early then flattened.

That they were able to return Sunday and rein that in and disrupt Michigan’s flow points to not only good coaching but players that are coachable.

All good things to see despite the drubbing.
 
Tough test this weekend but should certainly expect to come out with at least one W. Looking forward to seeing Matt Wood play.
 
From Prep Pucks....
BREAKING: It looks like 5 ⭐️ recruit Ryan Fine is no longer committed to Boston University as their logo has been removed from the U18 line chart. It was there 5 days ago prior to their last game. Huge news as our #10 ranked skater’s recruitment is now back open.
 
I’m staring at a balloon caught in the rafters above my seat rather than watch these guys regress. You’d think they would come out loaded for bear to beat these guys after how last season ended.
 
Well, that didn’t go well. 2 goals on unmarked guys in front of the net. Need to tighten that up and not lose guys. Had some great chances again early, but their goalie was up for it. Horrible 2nd period. Need the W tomorrow.
 
Totally winable game.

1 on 3 and he scores. Was that last shot tipped?

Too many guys standing around and watching.

And STAY OUTA THE BOX!

I fear last night is going to be the story of this year.
 
Some of the most selfish penalties I have seen. I really hope Pandolfo gave Gallagher an earful in the tunnel or something.
