I said a 3/4 seed also in the NCAA tourney. So PWR 9+

Yes, but to reach the four line, it'd have to be 13+. I don't see the line of thinking that BU would win enough to move up a spot or two in the HE rankings - with 2/3 of the schedule left against teams ahead of us, but at the same time lose enough to fall that far in the PWR.

Best game I've seen live in a long time. Had me on the edge of my seat. Congrats BC (was rooting for y'all) and congrats BC fans. Enjoy.

Agree to disagree, that's what the eberly award is for.
 
Re: The 2016 Beanpot: The Sacred Quest for the Holy Grail of College Hockey in Bosto

Not like the shots were 45-15 or whatever it was when fields won it. That made more sense to me than this one.
 
Re: The 2016 Beanpot: The Sacred Quest for the Holy Grail of College Hockey in Bosto

Helluva game. ESPN/Barry Melrose even did 30 seconds on it. I tell ya, if I was BC's coach I would have sent someone out to take a suspension on Greenway.

I wonder if ballots were due at some point during the 3rd period and the voters weren't able to wait to see whose goalie was to give up the singular goal.

Dope.
 
Re: The 2016 Beanpot: The Sacred Quest for the Holy Grail of College Hockey in Bosto

That's the first BU/BC game I've ever watched and I'm glad I stayed for it. And that the lesser of two evils won.

It'll be alright Terriers, I've already penciled in your finals win over us next year.

In some ways it does seem a bit odd / unusual, but if not Maguire then who? No scorers stood out for any team. The next obvious choice would be Demko, (a reasonable argument could be made for him). While he did get the shutout last night, he had a relatively pedestrian 21 saves the first week.
 
Re: The 2016 Beanpot: The Sacred Quest for the Holy Grail of College Hockey in Bosto

Demko should have won it. It's not like he made 15 saves last night. A 30 save shutout with just as much pressure on him. The Sean Fields case I mentioned is different. Shots in that game were 52-13 (that is unfathomable by the way).

Felt like 80-4 to tell the truth

A tip of the Husky toque to both teams for putting on yet another epic Beanpot final in a long string of epic Beanpot finals. But I still hate both of you.

And in winning the conso (convincingly) NU does big-time damage to Harvard's once-safe PWR while quietly improving to 9-3-3 since Thanksgiving.

Agreed. Not that I think there HAS to be consistency but just about everyone found it odd when Chris Bourque was named MVP with a single point in the entire tournament for simply scoring an OT gamewinner (into an open net for that matter) when the obvious choice was Bryan Miller who scored once in that game and literally skated goal line around his own net down to the opposite goal line, putting a rebound of his own shot into the slot for Chris Bourque to tap in. That one will always remain odd to pretty much everyone with a few brain cells to rub together but we all know why that happened.

A Beanpot championship game 30-save shutout or an OT-gamewinning goal scorer in a 1-0 game are certainly viable (and truthfully better) options after last night and the shutout is certainly greater than the tradeoff of 11 extra saves in a 41-save effort.

It is what it is. If only Alex Tuch had a famous dad.

i get sick when i think of that game but certainly our fortunes have changed since then............and USCHO couldn't get the storyline right, it's 6 out of the last 7, not 5 out of the last 6. Geesh

1970 Beanpot BU comes from behind to defeat BC 5-4. Checking forward Wayne Gowing had the hat-trick including the GWG and BC goalie Jim Barton had 52 saves. MVP: Mike Hyndman a very well known Terrier. Agree completely on the Bryan Miller Beanpot
