So, BU identified with the BC logo on the broadcast.

Shots are 11-2 late in the first. Looks like BU decided not to show up for the first period again.

+1, i'm watching

I love the camera angle. Similar to the one used for many EPL games.

love it ..... ended up 10-8 in shots for those UNH fans tuning in, where'd the 11-2 come in?

This thread was better when BU sucked.

Bu still sux, just not a bad hockey team this year.

Not sure what you mean? Break from the pack in Hockey East? Not really.

But, better than first place -- a jump to 4 in the PWR! That was big.

Hockey East just announced a 1-game suspension for Doyle Somerby. Why didn't they just wait until 5 minutes before the game? Sigh. Will Ahti get a few minutes on the blue line?

Hopefully the team new ahead of time that this might happen and have Carrabino or TJ Ryan ready to go.

The late hit to the head on Petruzelli last night I would assume...

Yeah, the one that sidelined Petruzelli last night, tonight, and for the foreseeable future. You'd think a Boston team would know not to mess with Rico Petruzelli!

BU just posted this YouTube of the Somerby hit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN58lqXdSJ8&feature=youtu.be
Conclusions:
1. Looks like Doyle is being punished for being big.
2. BU is very unhappy with the suspension.
3. Might have been half a second late but not a dirty hit.

Suspension's a joke. Five D suited for warmups.

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

It's true there is the natural height difference between the two players which always makes things difficult in these situations.

It was after the whistle and well after Petruzelli passed the puck. I think Somerby's hands were up under the face mask/ chin area of Petruzelli even after watching that video... also as we know often it is the result of such hits that determines the punishment (not saying I think that is fair). Petruzelli was clearly struggling having collapsed twice while trying to get up. Finally I believe Bertanga was in the building which with the obvious head injury may have increased pressure for a suspension.

Lots of factors which rightly or wrongly lead to the suspension.
