But seriously though was that one of the most ill-timed moments for a "Senior Leader" to do something cheap only second to O'connor looking like a Mite goalie at a point where the game was essentially decided. OC had two softies and/or misplays versus UMD and two last night that cant happen if they are going to beat a team with a legit #1 goalie on Saturday. Erods penalty though it ended up being matching hurt the team, a 5-4 is much more dangerous then a 6-5.

"If" Eichel wins the Hobey and the NC along with every other possible award he has already won, even I may be questioning his judgment for coming back and I have always been an adamant proponent of guys staying atleast 3 yrs. Since post season started he's finally looking like men vs boys on most occasions. Its hard to compare players from differant eras because they arent on the ice at the same time but right now I give him the #1 BU spot of all time and as everyone probably knows I favor the 1970s era. Kariya the most dominant college player I have seen and Joey Mullen the most explosive.

In all of the important d zone situations thats who Quinn puts out there thats all you need to know about his defensive abilities. His handling of the puck in tight d zone situations is light years ahead of most and certainly the Fab Four. He makes smart and calm plays when everyone else around him are losing their heads. Also his penalty may have saved a goal early on, for a change a BU player actually taking a smart penalty versus pointless.

how many people have repeated as hobey winners AND national champions?
how many have won 3?
(eichel could complete the trifecta -- and then join his nhl team for the playoff run and add a stanley cup

Agree Hickey's board was a bad call. Only thing I can think of is the UND guy put his hand directly in the center of Hickey's back as he was going into the boards, so it would appear to the ref from behind that he was shoving him into it, but in reality he wasn't. Weak call. Otherwise two fairly well officiated games.

Never agreed with the point that hitting iron is unlucky unless you hit both posts on the same shot like in 1991 NC game in OT

Next year is the year he takes his victory lap.
Besides, another year of the BU training program can't do him much harm, can it?

I don't buy playing the just missed game. The puck goes in or it doesn't, the difference between success and lack of success in this game is so minute that evaluating hit pipes with respect to how close the score is/was/could've been is worthless unless you compare every other equally close play.

I'm really enjoying all the "The better team lost" talk from the Sad Sioux fans. Classic. #BrendanMorrisonFor$200Alex
- No penalty on the Sioux for using Ahti's head as a speed bag was a bit surprising.
- Hit on O'Regan should have been 5. How come they didn't review it? Hope Danny is okay.
- I would have vomited in my seat if they had blown the game on as bad a play as I've ever seen a goalie make. Can we just tie OC to the cage?
- I missed the ERod cheap shot. He's gotta be better than that. Uncalled for.
- Greer's goal was tremendous. I want more of that from him next season.
Play their game and win tomorrow night. Get it done!

No doubt a dumb and possibly critical play. Even if totally an accident, don't have your stick up that high while skating through players. Having said that, they beat the consensus best remaining team without nearly their best game last night. That bodes well for tomorrow, as one would expect O'Connor to take a bit more care playing the puck and they'll keep a better eye on that ridiculous too many men on the ice penalty that was inexcusable.
For O'Connor I thought only the one bad goal. Guy made a great shot on one. The other he was dead to rights on a nice cross pass to his weak side. Its ND's goalie that should be wearing goat horns today.

Re: BU season thread 4 - 2014-15 // destiny's children
The first goal was a tough angle when we were all told that ND shoots from anywhere and he clearly could have blocked off anything on that side with his large frame. I consider it sloppy.
The too many men penalty was dumb but was it a legit call? Never saw a replay and Eichel looked like he jumped back up on the boards before the puck got close. Still dont shoot the puck towards the bench during a change. Diffley had the worst night of the Frosh dmen

Re: BU season thread 4 - 2014-15 // destiny's children
I don't think BU should win tomorrow. What worries me is that BU has been lackadaisical in the last two NCAA games this season. Now, it's fun if BU comes out well in the end — think UMD and Miami — but what happens if Gillies locks down BU, and holds them to a goal, PC scores one, and then there's a bad play by our goalie, who either ricochets one off a defender, or goes sailing behind the net. Well, now BU's in trouble.
I remember the scariest moment of the 2009 postseason happened about 15 seconds after Nick Bonino's goal, when a shot on Kieran Millan disappeared, and the only thing keeping Miami from getting their first national title was Matt Gilroy keeping a forward away long enough for Millan to cover up.

That's OC's game. Drop to your knees, seal off the entire bottom of the net and hope the kid can't snipe it under the bar. The tying goal in the Yale game was the exact same shot and technique by OC. I wish he would just hug the post or come out to cut down the angle.

I remember that play. However, Brian Strait who was on the ice, and in proximity, said afterwards that there was no danger (or words to that effect).

I'm not going to fault him if someone wants to snipe him top shelf. I think O'C is good for 2-3 GAA per game, which doesn't bother me. BU keeps up with him, especially after Yale. I have faith in O'C, but I'm worried that every once in a while, he'll do something that he shouldn't be doing.
