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

I meant BU. Definitely the better team. But now MC gets a chance to regroup.

There are just so many ominous signs. We don't seem to score many goals at the Garden in recent years. They also said on TV that BU has lost the Hockey East Championship Game three times. ALL years ended in "3." 1993, 2003 and 2013. Then you have the extra motivation for Merrimack for Josh. Sometimes it's just destiny. Trying to remain optimistic but sometimes it's more than just who the better team is.
 
I guess St Cloud has to win over CC for Merrimack to sneak in. Oops

That bubble looks to have burst. Merrimack looks to be headed to Bridgeport to take on QU. And it looks like a near certainty now that you guys will be looking like this in Manchester:

1. Denver (4)
2. BU (5)
3. Western Michigan (12)
4. Cornell (13)

Yup. And certainly not an easy one. I like Bridgeport bracket better. :)

Congrats to BU on the HE Championship. Glad we were able to give you everything you could handle. Good luck up in Manchester.

P.S. - You guys definitely have one of the top players in the country in Hutson. Wow that kid is good. And a freshman? Here's to hoping he leaves early and doesn't haunt my dreams for the next 3 years LOL
 
It was good to see the team we’ve been watching all year back last night. It appears that surviving Friday got the bright lights jitters out of their system.

Now it’s an injury issue. Zab’s has been my favorite Terrier since February. Hate to see him down.

How much ice time did #15 get last night?

BU Hockey: Play like an underdog.
 
A few tidbits while nursing a bit of a championship hangover (I’m getting too old to go out after games - heh. And sigh):

I liked how all the seniors were part of the trophy handoff. And not just the captains.

How did that Merrimack player not get even a 2-minute penalty for that hit on Fensore?

The hats and t-shirts given the the players were generic and didn’t have the BU logo. I have a hat from a previous championship that did. I feel like Hockey East kinda cheated out on that.

The BU Band was exceptional this weekend. I loved that they played the national anthem rather than getting a singer.

Former Terrier goalie JP McKersie was in the crowd last night.

The North Station area was a bit of a shit show. The Hockey East Championship has taken place over St. Patrick’s Day Weekend before but this huge pub crawl made it almost unbearable. And I was walking by a policeman on my way into the Garden while the BU Band was playing Shipping Up to Boston and a woman asked him what was the occasion and he said “I don’t know.” Um, ok.

Based on his play, I’m thinking Lane has a very strong chance at being one of the Hobey final three. I doubt he’ll win but I think he should make the final three.
 
If they are still doing the massive gap in game times to stagger the 4 games on Thursday I am pretty sure it will be Denver-Cornell at Noon and then you guys won't play till like 6. That's what it was last year and they actually let you leave rink after game one and then come back for game 2. If they go back to a true doubleheader then who knows what times will be. I would think at the earliest a 3:30 start for you.

Yeah I was thinking 5:00pm.

Right now the Thursday games are listed as 2:00 and 5:30----
 
Congrats to the Terriers. Skill level difference was on full display; that's what you should get every night from a team with 12 draft picks and 8 USA U-18 Team (NTDP) players. Merrimack made it tough, clogging the shooting lanes, hitting and generally grinding throughout.
Hutson's winning goal was an example of "any shot is a good shot". He is a special player. There is a "McDavid/Bedard" quality to his game as you can't take your eyes of him when he has the puck. Absolutely incredible skater and supremely confident with the puck. I'm guessing you'll only have him for 1 more year so he gets to play with his brothers.
Great goal by Kaplan. Really strong on the puck and a nice shot.
Was that the "Original Sasquatch" on the JumboTron or Sasquatch 2.0? My eyes were seared and I will not be able to un-see that!
Complaining about the refs is a loser's lament. Not going there.
Good luck in Manchester. LFG Hockey East!!

This was the box office personnel understanding when I purchased tix back in December. "Don't lose your tickets between games. You will need them to reenter for the second game and again on Saturday."
