I guess the bye week threw things off and the guys didn’t realize it was a Friday night and that’s why they won cuz we’re right back to not being able to win on Fridays. Sigh.

Random question - didn’t BU score an own goal on a delayed penalty back in Walter Brown Arena? Was it Mark Bavis?

Yes, Friday 13 February 1998 vs UML. BU lost 5-2 and when we got home after the game I had multiple phone messages informing me my father had did early that day. However the hospital staff never looked through his clothes and so never found his emergency contact list, so I wasn't called at work. All in all a very bad day for me.

Utterly disappointing result. It was going to come down to who would blink first, and it was Commesso. I didn’t see any replays, but I’m sure he wants that one back. Levi is a big pain in the behind, especially against us. Got to get to rebounds and bury some. Need to score on the PP against guys like this. Numbers down low have to work. Reminding me of a time long ago when we had trouble beating, I think Mike Ayers from UNH. Could not score even 1 in several games including the 2003 HE Championship game. This makes tomorrow essential.

BU let their best scorer walk down the middle of the ice. I think it was 4 on 1 and he ripped a shot off the post and in. He should have never been able to walk in. BU was legless tonight. I don’t think they had one good scoring chance all night and the times they did they fumbled the puck and either got the shot blocked or didn’t even get a shot off. NU did a great job of blocking shots. They really just pack it in.
 
Like I said, I didn’t see the replay. And yes, you can’t allow the shot 1 on 4. It was probably just a perfectly placed shot.
 
- Old Alum called it. Definitely had the potential to be a trap game. Credit to NU for playing a great game. It's a long season. We drop from 2 to 10 in the Pariwise as of 12:50am. Now we have to go into their barn and redeem ourselves.
- I wish Levi was two inches taller - he would be a pro by now. Can't wait until he is gone. The guy is unbelievable.
- That said we had some golden opportunities but didn't hit the net. Brown had Vaseline on his stick on a couple great opportunities.
- Did Jeremy Wilmer play a single shift? I know he was the "extra" forward. Maybe he wa only there on case someone was injured?
- Commesso played a great game. I am not blaming him for the goal. Fensore made an aggressive play offensively, so we had a forward covering d.
- Sean P. - holy crap that is a terrible story. You know I was going to come on and say - "I remember that game, it was a loss to Lowell." And then I read what a tragic night it was for you. RIP Mr. Pickett...
 
If a few BU forwards had the ability to roof the puck, they would have scored 3-4 goals last night.

The effort was there. They care. Perhaps they cared a little too much. They were jumpy with the puck on numerous occasions.

The winning goal was absolute snipe. Bar and in. I don’t blame Drew at all. He was immense all night and every bit as good as Levi.

Quicker hands without rushing their overall game is my note for tonight.
 
I saw Wilmer once, defkit. And speaking of Wilmer…did Skoog attempt The Skoog and miss?

BU overskated the puck a lot. And NU blocked a bazillion shots.
 
Ho hum, another Saturday (or Sunday) win. Weird that we have only lost on Friday nights. Better shooting tonight, although we had many other grade A chances not converted. Very entertaining game. Glad we came out on top - we needed it. Quick turnaround with Notre Dame on Wednesday.
 
Nothing ho-hum about that game. I liked what I saw from a lot of the Terriers tonight. Fensore, Comesso, Brown, Wilmer, O'Brien, Greene. Nice goal by Hutson in OT. Fun night.
 
Should be a tough game on Weds. Notre Dame has had possibly the toughest schedule in the country. Hope they are for focused.
 
I thought BU had the toughest schedule in the country?

Satisfying win last night, though would have preferred a regulation win. But still, OT wins are really exciting. They definitely played better than they did on Friday.

I’m getting a little sick of the reviews for major penalties. Three of them this weekend! None of them panned out.
 
Last night was a true character-building game. It's one thing to win from the front and hold a lead - quite another to have to repeatedly climb back into hard, tightly fought game. They dug deep and kept in it. That experience will pay dividends in the long haul.

Agreed! If anyone was watching the ESPN+ stream, let's all hope, for the sanity of the refs, that they actually get better video for the review than the one ESPN was showing. Makes me wonder how many reviews are inconclusive based on horrible replay, so they just stick with the original call.
