BU Terriers vs. Mercyhurst Lakers; East vs. (hmmm, East?)

Re: BU Terriers vs. Mercyhurst Lakers; East vs. (hmmm, East?)

So it's Lakers 2, Terriers 0 after 1 period. Power play play goals by Cassea Schols (from Jesse Scanzano) and Bailey Bram (from Scanzano and Vicki Bendus).

Shots are 10-2 in the Lakers' favor. Mercyhurst really controlled play throughout the period. Neither BU shot on goal was really a good scoring chance.

Melissa Haber is keeping BU in this game in net. Mercyhurst now has the first 7 shots of the second period. It would be a lot more one-sided on the scoreboard without Haber's efforts.

Still 2-0 Lakers after 2. Shots are 22-9 for Mercyhurst. The Terriers have shown signs of life, but Mercyhurst has controlled most of the play. BU goalie Melissa Haber is keeping her team in the game with 20 saves so far.

I've been surprised Mercyhurst hasn't put this away yet. Some shades of UMD-Mercyhurst 2007, when the Lakers led early and let UMD hang around....

This season BU has had a habit of getting down early, and then mounting comebacks in the third.

Terriers haven't quite figured out how to finish games yet. as soon as they do though, they will be a great team.

BU gets a 20s 5on3 and pulls Haber.

MC misses the open net.

BU scores.

MC gets it back 10s later.

4-1
 
Re: BU Terriers vs. Mercyhurst Lakers; East vs. (hmmm, East?)

A high 30s shot count for Mercyhurst seems reasonable, given BU and Mercyhurst's histories this season. I don't see BU being held to too far under 20 shots.

Final shot total 33-18. Credit to BU for doing a little better than we expected.
 
Re: BU Terriers vs. Mercyhurst Lakers; East vs. (hmmm, East?)

and for Haber, who is really a great kid representing the athlete we adore in these women

For me, it's the opposite. I wanted to see Haber get lit up. She's one of the biggest hacks I've seen as a goaltender.

I first noticed it in that last game at the Whitt, where she threw punches at a UNH girl as she was chasing the puck behind the net.

Then, in Providence, she again threw punches, which the refs called her for, but for some reason matched it up.

Then in the 3rd period of that game, any time a UNH player was within arms reach, she was slashing at their ankles or reaching out trying to trip them.

When one of our guys yelled that she wasn't allowed to do that, she turned back towards us and said either "You suck" or "Get f ****"

This isn't the first incident with BU players either.

Musgt be related to a local phenom from our neck of the woods by the name of Billy Smith. He has four rings in his posession. :D

sorry freak, I stand by my opinion...she has always been respectful and classy with me...of course I was talking with her, not yelling over the boards..
Great year by BU...I hate red and white but have to respect he job Durocher has done in 5 years.....BU looked like a team that made the NCAA's for the first time....they will calm down and play their game the more they appear in the Nationals...well done BU

FTR, I was not the one who she responding to.

But mostly, I am referring to the way she acts on the ice, and there is a big difference between forcing a forechecker wide, and slashing, tripping, and throwing punches.

Sorry man, but I have never seen her do that.

Sorry, my bad. I must have been mistaken when she took a roughing call. :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, maybe it's like Freddie Meyer, and she's got a chip on her shoulder about UNH.

But I saw it at the Whitt, and I saw it at the Coffin, and I watched her slash, trip, and taunt fans from no more than 10 ft away. JMO.
 
Re: BU Terriers vs. Mercyhurst Lakers; East vs. (hmmm, East?)

Fine, I'll grant you that she's had a slashing and tripping. Fine. Goalies get a bit defensive of the crease.

But as far as the rest, I have watched Haber play some horrible horrible games, and she leaves it on the ice. Once she's off, she doesn't talk about it or worry about it. What you're saying is just not in Haber's personality whatsoever (and I knew her since she was a freshman). She's a very collected and composed individual.

That's fine. Of course, I never said a word about how she is off the ice.
