Not much to say. Thanks to the seniors for 4 great years. Other than that, just a total disaster tonight.

Great season by the Red Hawks, but a bitter ending, something we Denver fans know a little about lately.
Miami, for some reason, wasn't moving its collective feet tonight and weren't working as hard as they usually do, outside of a few dominant stretches. BC is so quick and mentally tough...
The Brotherhood will be back, just in a different incarnation.

Good on ya team. Great season. Great fan support tonight. I'll take my lumps here. We didn't show up and BC looked awesome. Sad to see that the team that didn't show up ran to the locker rooms instead of giving a send off to the fans that did show up to support them. That was pretty classless

Miami Congrats on a great season. You have my sympathy as far as last nights game goes. I have had my my favorite team do the same thing on the national stage Tech 6 -1 Gophers in 75 . It happens BU got beat 9-1 in the 94 finals and came back and won it the next year. The program has made great strides in the last couple of year and they will be back Blasi is a great coach . So suck it up drink heavily and wait for next year

Re: The Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part III: Time to finish the job!
Anyone starting to notice a pattern with playoff hockey and Miami?
They are a tremendous regular season team but they seem to struggle to win big games. Is this a talent issue or a coaching issue?
Don't get me wrong - they had another great season and getting back to the 4 was...well wasn't it a bit expected given that they were #1 or 2 all year?

I can see it being a coaching issue if they lose in the first round, but they won a big game over MIchigan when it counted made it to the finals last year and frozen four this year so hard to say its talent or coaching when they make it to the frozen four two years in a row. Took BC 3 times before they won it in '08 so maybe next year is the year.
Much closer game than 7-1, dissapointing to give up 4 goals in the last 11 min, but great atmosphere. It was a good run, things caught up to them like losing loverde for the post season with heart issues. Team can only take so much, BC was the better team last night. They established their game and MIami didn't adjust. Happens, frustrating night but a day later and things are in more perspective. Another long offseason to come.

Re: The Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part III: Time to finish the job!
They had 3 coaches on the bench last night, I know a good eye doc if you need your eyes checked....
Tell your kid to get better and he may crack the line up. Sad that as a bitter parent you have to come on here to whine....someday you may grow up, back to back frozen fours is pretty solid. If you had half a brain you may understand that...but you've proven you don't so I don't expect you to understand....

LOL. So the poster's kid is on the team and doesn't play? Is there anything more embarrassing than a parent blaming the coach for this?

Re: The Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part III: Time to finish the job!
Let's see, in the last five years: five NCAAs, two league championships, two frozen fours, seniors graduating on time - things are just terrible here.
I think some are forgetting Miami won it's first NCAA game four years ago, and now has seven NCAA wins. I guess those games are not "big games" to some.
I think the major part of Miami's rise has been hard work from day one every year. Maybe that does mean they overachieve for the whole season relative to their talent, I don't know, but if it does, that is something of which to be very proud, IMO. And, given where Miami's program was, that is the only way to have more than fleeting improvement. And it certainly is the only way a program like Miami's can give itself a chance to get to the show some times, which it has.
But I guess by some people's standards, there are 57 coaches every year who can't win the big one.
I am disappointed with the way Miami played, but very pleased with a season that had MU picked third and fourth in the league and ended with one new championship banner and another Frozen Four banner.

Re: The Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part III: Time to finish the job!
Amen.
We made it to the Frozen Four 2 years in a row. When we were headed to Minneapolis last year, we were just happy to be in an NCAA Regional. When we won the Regional we were ecstatic because we were headed to our first FF in team history! Too many felt that we were entitled to it this year and subsequently lost sight of how special it was just to be there. Like redeagle said, the game was immensely disappointing because we know that the team is better than we saw yesterday, but this team is bigger than one game, one season. We will build on our victories, learn from our failures, and keep striving for new heights, and hopefully in a few years, we will look back at our first two Frozen Four appearances as indicators of the even greater successes that Miami is going to have.
Love and Honor!

Miami had a great season. They have a place in their memory, and there is something in their nature telling them them cannot beat a hockey team named "BOSTON".
Miami needs to come East during the early winter and play Hockey East teams to understand what they need to do to beat them. Yes, they played UNH early, but HE games are different after the New Year.
INTERESTING NOTE: Both NCAA finalists, BC and WISCONSIN played a game outdoors in the BIG setting on machine ice. Not so with the losing teams. Does anyone think that might have had an underlying influence on the outcomes?

True, track, but not easy for Miami to get those games in the past. In the old days, nothing to gain for their opponesnts. Perhaps it will be easier to get those games in the future.
To your ice point, from what I saw in the two games yesterday it was not the ice. There may have been what Gwoz used to call "The Big House Effect" (literal in this case), but most of the Miami players were in a pretty big house last April. BC played great in all facets, Miami did not. Miami was capable of better, obvously, but BC was just much better yesterday.

I don't think the manner in which the season ended should be any kind of a stamp on the season MU had. Great season. Great accomplishments. Tremendous highs and one particularly painful, personal loss.
That said, it was an odd showing from them last night. Never would have bet on seeing a team with those two netminders and that much puck possesion skill getting shelled in a game of this magnitude. They played a pretty good first period, but I think that goal at the end took a lot out of their sails, and it was evident as the second period began. And as soon as they looked to spark the play in the third, BC put it out and from that point Miami just didn't skate. I agree with the earlier post that noted it just didn't seem like the same Miami after the regular season was clinched.
Great run for the Redhawks. 57 teams DON'T win it and to be one of the ones in the final weekend two years in a row says all that needs to be said. Congrats and October will be here before you realize it.

Though a very surprising and disappointing end to the season (I was disappointed too as I really wanted to see Miami win it all after the heartbreak from last season and Brendan Burke), but a great season. The Miami program should be complimented on a tremendous season.
Hope you guys are back next year and break the "Boston team" curse! We finally got a win against BC this year (albeit regular season) and it feels good.
Don't let one uncharacteristic game overshadow a really great season.
