Re: BU / BC Home and Home 12/2 - 12/3 Could we really be done with each other by Dec
What a horrible game to watch - took forever (poor CC/Denver fans).
From a BU fans perspective, the good news is that they played so badly that they know they have to change things up, and yet they were still able to take the two points. They should all be buying Millan his drinks for the next year.
BC really got the shaft on that non-goal. I hadn't heard the crease violation issue, but that can be the only way it isn't a total screw job for BC. I get the whole intent thing, but then why even look at the review? The puck was never really even covered up and the refs really shouldn't have lost sight of it.
I also thought the 5 minute major was a little over the top. The BU player was starting to turn away from the boards, and really only went back to facing the boards as he was being hit. I don't know the rules well enough to know if you can call a 2 minute penalty in that situation (boarding instead of HFB?), but I thought it would have been more appropriate. The reality is that in College Hockey, the players know how to get that call all day long. Rarely are they ever actually hurt, and yet the way they all fall to the ground you would think they won't walk again for days (BC returned the favor later, forget which of the 45 penalties on BU it was).
The only dive I saw was the one that was called for embellishment on Whitney (deserved in my opinion), but watching on non-HD TV, is a lot different than being on the bench.
I expect BC to come out flying again, and BU better find some discipline quickly, because they can't expect Millan to do the same thing.
