Brazele needed to take another second on his pass and Russell would have ended it. Bummer. BU has been on their heels the whole period.

Embarrassing display at the end by BU but not a surprise from Pandolfo and these clowns a bunch of whiny losers

On TV he looked like superman he was flying so well
A grab-bag of thoughts:
-Obviously the ending stings. But I don't think they played as conservative as they did on Chestnut Hill last week, they were still looking to get up ice and into the zone and did so a few times. To me, this felt like less of a Maine collapse and more of a Terrier rally to get the goal they needed, as opposed to last week which definitely felt more like a Maine collapse than an Eagle rally.
-I don't remember BU being this slimy and annoying to play against in recent seasons, felt like a new thing to me for this year. They were a very undisciplined and frankly just kind of obnoxious, which I just don't recall being the case the last couple of years.
-I thought they were better defensively tonight than last night, less bad giveaways and mostly limited the amount of BUs high quality chances.
-I've shouted him out a few times already this season, but Boija is a monster. He's so cool in the crease and is very fundamentally sound, always seems to be in the right position and has good vision. I wouldn't blame either goal or the SO winner on him.
-I'm extremely glad that Mathieu Caron is a senior this season. It just seems that for whatever reason Maine can't do a ton of damage to him and he knows what to look for against our shooters. Obviously we can expect BU to get a stud goalie as a replacement, but not seeing him anymore after this year will be a welcome sight, at least to me.
-This last one isn't really about the game, but it was a very sharp dressed weekend. I think Maine's whites and BUs reds are my two favorite sweaters in all of Hockey East, so when they come up to pay us a visit it's always a visually pleasing experience.

Holy Deja vu to Game 2 of the home BC series last year. What a kick in the pills.

yeah that one hurts. Hope it doesn’t bite us later this season. I agree with previous comments that it didn’t feel like we gave it way in the same manner as last weekend.
Random thought and I may be very wrong about this… but have we scored a breakaway goal yet this season? I can’t remember one despite have what feels like numerous opportunities - especially over the past two weekends.

As disappointing as the last-second tying goal was, this was another rung in the ladder.
I thought that Maine played better than they did last night.
I remain optimistic about this team.
(As in, an NCAA tournament team.)

Bomber (from the BU thread) if you want to engage come here but I was at the game. I don't know if it's a product of Pandolfo allowing it but all your team did was complain all weekend. If they spent half the time they did whining during the game doing something else the game probably would have ended before almost 10pm since the refs spent half the game talking to them
Again I have no problem with contesting questionable calls but this was the most incesssant whining ive seen from a team in a long time.

Good weekend for the bears and they were the better team both nights which is something I haven’t been able to say vs BU in a while.
As for BU, what an embarrassment that was. I’d previously been complementary of them since Pandolfo took over and thought they played a skilled and heavy game. This version of their team looks like a shell of themselves. Seemed to lack leadership and maturity. Celebrating a shootout tie like that tells you all you need to know. They won’t be winning anything this year.
BC appears to be a class above the rest at the moment. Next tier looks to be Maine, Bu and providence. There’s a clear bottom 3 but not sure how it shakes out in the middle.
