I think that last night was the worst game I have seen Digi play all season. That said, I think that his d-men left him out to dry time and again the entire game. BC could easily have scored an additional four or more goals on the bobbles Digi left in front of the net that his d-men were incapable of clearing; add those to the two post and cross bar clanks, and the score could have been 10-0. I do not think that the UNH lines tried to do anything much differently than they have done all season, but BC obviously had studied a lot of film and read every offensive play that UNH tried to throw at them. I do not see much of a different outcome tonight; BC is simply playing awesome hockey right now, and UNH never seems capable of making adjustments, either between periods or between back-to-back games.
But, UNH should be able get to the Garden for the first time in three years and perhaps face BC for the HE tourney championship, assuming that they can get by Merrimack, Maine, NU, whomever. The downside of this scenario is that UNH would retain a 3 seed, and should they get by whomever in the first round at Manchvegas (not likely in that venue from an historical perspective), would probably face BC for a fifth time this season, which is too Bean Potterish for my liking. Better settle for the 4 seed and send BC to St. Louis, just in case.
