i think i'm the only one in Florida
watching this game.
You won’t be the only person in Florida watching one of these teams come April.
Two guesses which that team is …

HEA expansion FAIL
Remember, after Notre Dame and a 12th program are added to Hockey East, there will be one less regular season BC-BU game every year.
Thanks, Bertagna.

2 feet from thr ref? that’s just dumb.

WZBC says its pretty packed, maybe its just the angle they are showing on TV. Hard to see what the upper bleachers and student sections look like.

BU is handing them opportunities with all these stupid penalties and BC isn’t converting or doing much of anything with them.

Worst period of the year by far.
And we played some pretty bad ones vs. Umass, Denver and Northeastern.
Just disgusting.

This is Spaz’s fault right? RIGHT?

Jesuits, Jesuits, rah, rah, rah! Gooooo Eagles!!!!!
BU Unis
Numbers on the front look stupid. And terriers is a REALLY stupid nickname.
Terriers are annoying lap dogs that are perfect for shopping in Newbury St. salons. That’s what makes it a perfect mascot for BU.

I can't believe this.
This is a team that lost to Holy Cross, got shit on by UMass Lowell, and just plain sucks.
Are you kidding me with this crap? Seems pretty clear that the guys weren’t ready for this one. Which is mind boggling seeing as it is BU.

If people took my last post wrong...
What I meant by “preparing for BC Basketball early” is preparing for their game tomorrow early. I’m not giving up BC Hockey; who would?

Congrats to HarryAgganis
Your boys whipped us good tonight. Boston U. moves up the power rankings and is now the third best college hockey program in the state behind UMass-Lowell and Holy Cross …
Editor, BC Interruption
Kieran Millan take a bow!
I’m sorry I couldn’t resist channeling my inner meter. Speaking of radio broadcasters, I thought it was crap that 98.5 didn’t air the BC broadcast this evening. The Patriots all day talk sploogefest couldn’t be postponed for the greatest rivalry in college sports, BostonMedia365CollegeSportsIgnorance#. It was a badly needed league win but the way this team is playing I still worry about even the USNDT under 18 exhibition. I think we can all agree that we wish our respective teams had our own Joe Cannata. Millan wasn’t tested much tonight and doesn’t give me much confidence on evenings when he does get tested. And hey Dumoulin to save a few elbows for the Canadians at the World Juniors this year. And not to leave out Spaz, anybody else surprised those Catholic Memorial kids didn’t decommit from Penn State? They could be this year’s Al-Louis

Complaining about Dumoulin elbows when BU commits 16 penalties? C’mon, Harry.
Editor, BC Interruption
I was merely feigning disgust about
the elbowing. As you’ve stated, the real disgust should be directed towards Cross and his effort. Pretty unacceptable for two of the best in the country.
by HarryAgganis on Nov 13, 2011 9:07 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
The refs prove once again they can’t keep a BC-BU game under control. 28 penalties. Ridiculous.
Editor, BC Interruption
effort
That was one of the laziest efforts ive seen from a hockey team maybe ever. dumoulin and Cross looked horrible all night (especially dumoulin, he was just awful). Im worried about the depth at defense with wey out, and those two looking pretty bad over the past few games. Overall just a horrible effort tonight. we got beat to every puck and lost every battle.
Dumo
He’s looked lost the majority of the season. And now that Cross has decided to join him over these past few games, its going to be very difficult to stop opposing offenses, or control the puck for any extended period of time. They need to get it together, and fast. Nothing was worse than watching the BU students march through lower campus cheering over their victory. The hockey team embarrassed us tonight.
Power Play
The power play looked ugly early on but started generating opportunities as the game went on. But then our horrendous shooting took over and ruined any chances we had at putting one in. Also really lazy play by the defensemen on the power play hurt us. They let multiple pucks out of the zone when they could have been held in easily by just making the extra effort. Very frustrating.
Milner actually made a bunch of really good saves. Without, this one would have really gotten out of hand.
