there's a good buck in that racket.
Just not good. Talent not on the same ball field. Ugly
Nice to get your feet wet in, you know, the biggest rivalry in college hockey. On the road…Right after your team lost last night… I guess we’ll see what the kid has, huh?
What game were you guys watching on Friday? You're encouraged by that performance? Yikes. They were terrible! It could have been worse as they handed the puck to BC in their own end two more times in the first period alone that could have easily ended up in the net. This all happening on their home ice no less.

Yes agreed those two and up front and leadership wise losing Tuch, Peterson, Stevens. Having Kaplan as a leader says it all and LaChance is good but not a going concern for the opponent. Zetterberg boy did he drop off the edge. Pandolfo coming up short on the coaching in a “transition” year compared to how Brown has handled it at BC after losing 2 of their superstars. I don’t take anything out of this weekend other than potentially a better goaltender. The # of turnovers was frightening at the worst times. Couldn’t score 5 on 5 for 120 minutes as having supposed one of the top offenses in the country. Just a dreadful display against your #1 rival. If anything the scores underplayed the differences in the two teams. There was a clear difference between championship caliber and run of the mill average. And BU played scared from my viewI don’t watch enough games to comment on this authoritatively, but beyond the obvious impact of Celebrini and Hutson going pro, the loss of Webber and C. McCarthy sure seems huge.
4. I think we found a goalie who could carry this team down the stretch.
5. Cole Hutson is criminally overrated. Dreadful first semester followed by great world juniors and start of second semester. Regressed to first semester play this weekend. Don’t see how many said he was better than Lane, not even close. Would be a huge mistake if he goes pro after this season. If so, say hello to Adam Clendening’s career.
6. I really like Eiserman and for the most part I think he's been a 200-foot player. You can also see his skill by beautiful skating and touch sauce passes other than the obvious great shot. Like Hutson, would be a huge mistake if he leaves after this season. If so, say hello to Oliver Wahlstrom's career..
RE:
4. I think we've found the goalie we've been lacking. He will be a difference maker. Jay has to play him. He can give this team the backbone it needs.
5. We forget that Lane stayed at BU for two years. And Cole isn't Lane, not even close. If he's smart he'll stay more than two years.
6. I also like Eiserman. He's been an enigma, and I think he's just pressing too much. If he could relax, his natural game will come back to him. Like Cole, he needs to stay and build his game. Very few can shoot like him.
I actually feel optimistic after last night. We played BC hard and well - and BC is absolutely the best team in the NCAA (and it pains me to say that, as a BU alum). If we play like that for the rest of the season, we'll go far.
Agree. Friday awful. Saturday better. I don't think I've ever seen that penalty called.
That has been the most impressive thing about BC this weekend, and I am including Fowler in that. The BC defense is not flashy. They don't have a Hutson or Willander offensively on the blueline. But they are solid, solid, solid. They get the puck out of the defensive zone and make very few mistakes.
On Friday, I don't think BU should have pulled the goalie down 2-4 with a powerplay. Try and score on the powerplay, and then look to pull the goalie. That empty net goal effectively ended the game.
I wouldn't blame Caron on three of the four goals he gave up on Friday. But Yegorov's play tonight is going to give Pandolfo something serious to think about.
BU's team discipline was better this weekend, but playing without Celebrini and Frechette left the defense short and overworked against a skilled opposition.
One other thing, as an alum, it is an embarrassment when the student sections on both sides chant "**** BC" and "**** BU." Both sides should be able to come up with much more clever insults.
JOFA, take a chill pill. Your overreacting will put you in a hospital if you don't get a grip.
What did I say that you disagree with? Be specific. This “rivalry” is becoming like the hammer and nail as Shank Shaughnessy would say. I’m sorry they were “pwned” again. It would be nice if more “fans” on here cared as much as me . It seems like most are just happy about the social interactions and what the new concession items are.
