Thought the same thing
I saw one shift.
Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
With a 54-31 faceoff record in the three games against NU, Eichel is finally over .500 on draws for the season. Certainly helps with the possession game DQ wants to play. http://www.goterriers.com/sports/m-hockey/stats/2014-2015/teamcume.html

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
This is why I didn't bother (plus the fact that I thought NESN would cut to the game - I didn't realize the postgame show was going to last a week, especially with another scheduled game "immediately" following). I love DirecTV, but when it comes to programming issues like this, their people are not very helpful (not to mention it's college hockey and most have no clue it even exists - remember, these call center people aren't local).
Unfortunately I missed the early three-goal flurry (seeing the replay "highlights" during the post-game show isn't the same thing), which means that I essentally missed the entire game...

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
Hey....WE FINISHED IN FIRST PLACE!!
Pretty darn good feeling. Even those of us that were optimistic didn't put BU much higher than 4th, maybe 3rd at the highest, if memory serves. And MANY posters had BU finishing in the 6th-7th range.
Reminds me of the DiPietro year (99-00) when we finished in first after nobody expected we would be close to that. Now I just hope this team bring home more post-seaon tourney hardware than that team did (darn Black Bears knocked us out of both he HE and NCAAs, didn't they?).

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
I believe that was the 01-02 season. BU played Maine the final 2 regular season games @ Walter Brown losing 9-6 in a crazy first game and tying the second 4-4 which was needed to secure 1st place in HE I believe. BU went on to lose to Maine again in HE semi-finals and the NCAAs by the same score, 4-3.
BU did lose to Maine in HE semis in 00, didn't play them in the NCAAs.

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
Maybe I should trade in my season tickets for an away game package next year.
At least the great away/neutral record bodes well for the tournaments. This team seems to handle the pressure well -- if not thriving on it.

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
NU preceded BU onto the ice for warmups and the game.
Perhaps, if the home team doesn't come out before a certain time, the referees permit the visitors to enter the ice surface.

They did lose to Maine 4-2 in the HE semifinals that season, but after beating St. Cloud 5-3 in the first round of the NCAAs, they lost to St. Lawrence in the QF 3-2 in four overtimes. If they had survived that game, they would've played BC in one of the semifinals in Providence.

Of course! How could I forget that NCAA tourney. DiPietro's 77-save effort in the loss.

I was living in Atlanta at the time, so I went to a bar where they showed it. I think there was an issue where whatever channel was showing it had to start showing the Celtics?

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence
Barring a complete collapse, or a crazy explosion of offense, Eichel will likely finish third in Freshman scoring both in terms of points and points per game, behind Silk and Fidler (looking at Sean's data). I'm guessing their numbers didn't lead the country is scoring....different era.

there's a good buck in that racket.
Mookie has told this story before..... But yes the celtics come on and sportsnet switched to celtics (awful pitino team). Mookie is on phone *****ing and out on rt2 living too far to pick up radio signal from that south shore station.
So Mookie is hanging at in laws and needs to drive nearer to Boston to hear game. He drives east and starts to hear Bernie while passing fort devens
Mookie takes ayer exit and pulls into former rest area near the former fort as 3ot starts.
Mookie is listening there in the car that was at end of driveway... His father in laws silver mini van with a queer racing stripe, just hanging in this now closed but then popular rest area self absorbed in bu hockey and hoping for a win.
OT period ends and Mookie sits back and breathes
Whew
Looks out window at cars on rt2. Then notices cars driving circling rest area looking at FIL's van.
Odd......
What are these guys... Wait!
Oh!! Oh my!!!
Mookie puts van in reverse and gets back on highway. Exits and u-turns back east on Rt2 until he gets to concord and parks in paparazzi lot to listen to horrible final OT and bu loss.
