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

[Scarlet]

That game was nuts!

 

[J.D.]

I took train in for that one and I believe my dad was working an overnight shift so we had to leave early and my mother video taped rest of the game. Pre DVR (at least in my house).

With all the talk about the highest seed playing in the late game I researched it. Below is a table showing every HE semifinal game, what each team was seeded and when the game was played:

Seven times the top seed has played in the late game. Twice in the first three years, 1991 and then not again until 2009, then back-to-back in 2015 and 2016 and again in 2019. BC played in 5 of those games, NU played in 3, BU played in 2, while four other teams played in one each. It appears that 2009 was an outlier, as it was the only time during 23 years that the top seed played the late game. However, the top seed played the late game 3 times in 5 years between 2015 and 2019, making it odd that the BU-BC game in 2018 was the early game (considering the 2017 late game was BU-BC).

[Rogie21]

BU will dress 20 for pre-game skate, including Fensore and Getz. Game time decision on which one plays. Or perhaps both and just 12 F.

 

[J.D.]

They need to tweak the challenge rule. If you lose a challenge you no longer should just lose your timeout. It should be an automatic minor penalty for delay of game. I've seen too much of it this year.

On another note, you guys were a little too aggressive on PK there.

Another abysmal period of hockey at the Garden for this team. Two shots along with terrible play in their own end.

totally agree about the challenge. Tired of seeing coaches toss a Hail Mary and only lose a timeout.

That was a pathetic period for BU. 2 shots!

Agreed listless,outworked and sloppy puck handling. And I am going to personally show up at BU graduation to make sure Stevens is gone.

 

[Scarlet]

I’m checking work emails instead of watching this. Siiiigh. What is it about this building? Third game in a row here they’re playing like crap.

 

[Scarlet]

OK this made me laugh.

 

[J.D.]

Providence can't score...you're good

 

[Bomber]

Yale’s 5 shots against QU is on the table right now.

 

[BU93]

Really weak sticks tonight. Let’s see what we can do on the PP

 

[Bomber]

Z is the only Terrier out there. The only one.

 

[BU93]

Remember when I said Commesso had to steal one for us to move on in a tournament? This is the time.

 

[After the Whistle]

JD - Bingo!

 

[BU Fan 84]

I see a lot of confusion and uncertainty from BU. I think it is obvious that Pandolfo is better than O'Connell at preparing his team to play the way he wants them to, but I haven't seen anything from him this year that suggests he can properly prepare his team to play against specific opponents.

Raycroft's second intermission analysis is to keep doing what they're doing and try to open the game up? More of the same is not going to get the job done. This seems to be Pandolfo's mentality too and if they want to win, they're going to have to make some adjustments.

 

[Lemonade]

Remember when I said Commesso had to steal one for us to move on in a tournament? This is the time.

He may have to score too!

 

[Scarlet]

Maybe, just maybe, if they shoot the puck, they might have a better chance at scoring.

 

[BU Fan 84]

Every time up the ice, one forward skates the puck directly through the middle of the ice and winds up one on three or four and, obviously, immediately lose possession. No adjustments all game.
