What: 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament Championship Game
Time: 7:30 EDT
Date: Monday, February 14, 2011
Place: TD Garden (cap. 17,565), Boston, Ma.
TV: NESN
Internet Radio: BCEagles.com (Jon Rish play-by-play and Ken Hodge color)
Last Time Out: The Eagles shut out Providence 3-0 to move to 21-6-0 (16-5-0 Hockey East) on the season.
Series: BC and Northeastern have previously met 207 times. Boston College leads the all-time series 149-45-13.
Last Meeting: Boston College 2, Northeastern 0 (Oct. 9, 2010)
Last Meeting at TD Garden: Northeastern 6, Boston College 1 (Feb. 2, 2009 -- Beanpot Tournament Semifinal)
Last Five Meetings:
W - Boston College 2, at Northeastern 0 (October 9, 2010)
W - at Boston College 7, Northeastern 1 (February 21, 2010)

W - at Boston College 5, Northeastern 1 (November 7, 2009)

Trends: The Eagles, winners of six straight and 13 of their last 14 games, are just 5-5 in their last 10 games against the Huskies. Northeastern hasn't won a Beanpot Championship since 1988. That's quite a few years ago (I was 6). The Huskies are, however, off to a fast start in 2011, having gone 7-2-2 since the new year. For being just a four team tournament, BC and Northeastern have amazingly only met two other times in the Beanpot Championship Game. Northeastern won in 1980 (5-4 OT), while Boston College won in 1983 (8-2).
Northeastern's Leading Scorers: Sr. Wade MacLeod (13-16-29), Sr. Tyler McNeely (10-13-23), Sr. Steve Silva (6-11-17), Fr. Brodie Reid (5-12-17)
Northeastern's Leading Goaltender: So. Chris Rawlings (9-9-6, 2.12 GAA, .935 SV%)
BEANPOT!!!! Leave your thoughts on the game below. Go Eagles!
Prediction: Sticking with my pre-Tournament prediction here. Boston College 6, Northeastern 3 (MVP: Cam Atkinson)
Record-to-date: 17-7-0

BC 5, NU 2
We go for the kill and coast with a two goal cushion the whole game.
Amazing it’s only the 3rd meeting between BC and NUI in the Beanpot final
1-0 Eagles
Tommy Cross picks up where he left off.

All tied up 1-1
First power play goal given up in BC’s last 23 penalty kills.

2-1 Huskies
Bunch of crap calls on BC. Let them play, refs.

Stay out of the box
And we will be fine. A much better team 5×5.

BC has momentum. Hopefully they can pull away here.

15 penalties called in this one
8 on BC, 7 on Northeastern. Not 32 minutes into this game.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
Out of control
Did I say 15 penalties? Make that 16.

Over/Under for this game 13.5

Worried
This sounds strange – considering the inconsistencies of our other teams – but I am worried this year’s hockey team has peaked too early. The Beanpot is usually the start of our hot streak, but this year we have been hot for a while – how long can we sustain it?
This 4-4 game isn’t filling me with confidence. C’mon Musey!
Man it hurts losing to BU, but this would be really bad – being No. 1 and allowing NE to win their first Pot in 23 years!
Not too worried
BC has an easier schedule the rest of the way (2x Northeastern, 2x UMass, 2x UNH). This is the biggest Northeastern hockey game in a long, long time…
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
OK I'll relax then
I just tend to over worry with the hockey team since I put so many eggs in this basket. I can’t wait to see this team on TV again (I’m down south). I like listening on the radio, but it can get so intense!
A loss would suck, but wouldn’t be very significant to BC’s title run this year. The games this weekend against Northeastern are infinitely more important.

As you would expect, Northeastern is playing w the reckless abandon of a team with nothing to lose (and everything to gain). In essance, this is their NCAA tourny.

We are killing ourselves with these penalties.

Being a Superfan takes years off the end of your life. Truth.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
Offensive firepower will never be a problem for this team.
Really proud of how these forward lines have played tonight (even if they’ve had some defensive breakdowns on odd man rushes).

Let's batten down the hatches here
No. More. Scoring. Please.

Over/Under
That over/under mentioned earlier of 13.5 is starting to look like it might be in play.
Come on Eagles!
Cam has been surprisingly quiet tonight. Keep in mind I am listening on radio – he may be heavily involved, but I haven’t heard his name much
Good point- as (presumably) a Hobey short lister, he’s been super quiet on the big stage.
by Eagle in Brighton on Feb 14, 2011 9:54 PM EST up reply actions
"Big stage" = NESN?
I think Atkinson deserves to be in the Hobey Hat Trick, but I think Atkinson and Muse will cancel each other out (again). BC guys tend to do that.

Hah point taken- liked you sports marketing angle from last week.
This should be disseminated beyond simply a regional feed.

It’s a great event that can do a lot for the sport. Wasted opportunity.

Keep up the good D and put pressure on offense
by TheSpecialOne on Feb 14, 2011 9:54 PM EST via mobile reply actions
A 2 minute minor is a nice step in that direction…

First time in 46 years?!
John Rish just said we are going for our first back to back in 46 years! That is crazy. I definitely didn’t realize it had been that long, I have been so used to us expecting to win
Jerry York & co. won a couple ...
And then the Eagles won 3 straight in the mid-1960s.
BU has dominated this stupid tournament.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
From the end of the 1st, this game was destined for OT.

I cant watch
I feel bad for the team that loses this its ben a great game

Look up Sucks to BU on the urban dictionary
And laugh

That's amazing
A pun on “sucks to be you.” In this form, it refers to those unfortunate souls who attend Boston University. Often heard at hockey games.
BU student: We just lost to 5-0 to Boston College. Our season is over.
BC student: Sucks to BU.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that I’m listening to this game and not watching on TV.

Still instinctively respond positively when I hear “Ferriero.”

Indeed
Ferriero was going to be the goat tonight after taking the penalty late in the third. Would have been sweet.

BC outplaying Northeastern in the extra session
A good sign, but ultimately doesn’t mean anything. Only takes one.

Jimmy Hayes!!
Where’s your Beanpot? Clap clap clapclapclap
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
Thank Goodness
That was a crazy one! Way to go Eagles!
Damn that’s awesome. Hopefully that’s the first of many trophies this year!
YES!!!!!
Great goal congrats to the Eagles
Gotta give NE credit gave us a run for our money
