[Ed. note -- Bumped]
Of all the NCAA hockey alums in the first round of the NHL Playoffs, Boston College alums led the way with 10 goals from Ben Smith (3), Brian Gionta (3), Nathan Gerbe (2), and Patrick Eaves (2). Vermont had the second most with nine, followed by Wisconsin with eight.
In total, nine BC players played in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Unfortunately, only three -- Cory Schneider, Andrew Alberts, and Patrick Eaves -- are moving on to the second round.
Is it too soon to start calling BC Playoff Goalscorer-U?
