Nervous
Yes!!!! GOAL! Thank god for this in game thread, i need to vent
BC lost the natl. champ my junior and sr. years, and though we won it two years ago, not sure I can handle more natl. champ game heartbreak. We need revenge on WIS from 2006!
Go Eagles! I am a little worried though – I feel like WIS looks better, Muse really needs a huge game
Muse has been outstanding. 20:00 boys!

One period in the bag
Alright we have one period out of one – HUGE. I woulda liked another goal obviously, but before the game I would have taken any lead after one, so i’ll take it.
Muse has been huge, looking more like his Frosh year self, hopefully he can keep it up
Muse still perfect. Coming up huge. 1 period baby!

Kreider
I agree, really hope he stays. Most of this team should return – Smith, Price, Lombardi and Sneep are gone, but if the rest of the team returns we should be a force next year, regardless of the rest of tonight. Sneep will hurt, and judging by the way he has played recently Smith will too, but otherwise I think we should be very strong next year. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves
ATKINSON!!!!!!! GOAL!!!!!!!!!! 4-0
YES
8 minutes …

Gerbe Jr.
Is it me, or over the last half of the season has Atkinson turned into Gerbe Jr.? He has been insane
Atkinson 6-3-9 this postseason. Unreal. The real Hobey Baker.

How Fitting
I have often been surprised by York’s choice of captain – shannon surprised me and turned out great. Same with Harrold. How fitting for Price to get the empty netter!
Capt for next year? I am thinking Muse or Whitney
btw, in the Yale game (after about the 4th goal) i advocated to friends putting Milner in. I WILL NEVER DOUBT MUSE AGAIN! A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muse 8-0 in NCAAs. Unreal.
