Sorry. To make it easier for UHN fans to understand, it could be considered Banner Season.
You know... the NCAA participation banner, Hockey East Tournament participation banner, and the all time UHN favorite, Hockey East Regular Season Champions banner.

Any team can hang a banner.
Only one team wins the trophy.
I can see why you find 'Trophy Season' laughable. :D

Which the 'cats have not done all year.

My gut feeling (actually more like a REALLY bad ulcer) is last weekend's loss to ND may be BC's last loss this season.

BC would likely have handled a long undefeated streak going into the playoffs just fine, but not having to deal with it didn't cost them much and gives them less to worry about. Worst case for the Eagles is MN wins out, meets BC in the tournament and MN has higher seed last change, etc. I've not seen BC play much this year, but if they run into a team that is 3 - 4 lines deep that can skate with them and be aggressive...

Good luck at the high school tourney. Should be fun:)
Got my alumni discounted ($10) ticket for the Friday game.
Hopefully a couple of wins and then a garden party;)

I hope UNH and Maine both make it! The Garden would be rockin', just like the old days.

Not only would it be fun to go as a fan...some would say making it to the Garden is pivotal for future UNH success...am I right? I do believe I read something to that effect once upon a time 'round here! :confused: At any rate...takes 2 wins to get there so let's bring it 'Cats!
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2013-14 Season Thread (Part 2)

All y'all betting against Boston College - quit being so obtuse. This is a simple matter. The year is 2014; indicating an even year. On even years the Eagles win National Championships. 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014. Hope I'm wrong but confident, having seen them play multiple times this season, saying John Buccigross will announce "Your Boston College Eagles are the 2014 National Champions" on ESPN April 12th. Don't want to see it happen though. Go Wildcats!

... then they don't have anything to worry about, 'cuz all of those teams are either in the AHL or NHL.

We may be the only ones in agreement here the BC loss to ND last weekend may actually serve as a benefit for BC.

I simply can't wrap my head around the concept that a ND team that got swept by UNH in Durham is somehow going to end up taking 3 out of 4 games from BC at Conte Forum (including the meaningless-to-BC regular season finale).

Strange things do happen in postseason play, but ND taking out BC before the HE Semis would be right up there.

Hah! You are probably correct. Somehow Union did it to BC last year, perhaps this year St. Cloud? I'd include MN, but I think they were better last year and lost to Yale. My MN theory is that by NCAA tourney time their seniors and top juniors already have one foot out the door with pro dollar signs in their eyes and are not fully focused on the task at hand.

The only way is if Summerhays (9.29%, 1.88 GAA, 3 GA in last 5 games) who has been standing on his head does so on the head of a pin. Twice.

(((Maybe))) in a single game, but 2 of 3 is extremely unlikely.
