BC outshot NU by 2-1 and only wins by 2-1 margin. Fun game to be at since we won but very fustrating I'm sure for NU and their fans. There was one women behind me who kept yelling "Go Huskies!" behind me and it was kind of irritating. Mr. and Mrs. Cross were quite thrilled that Tommy put in the GW goal with 2.8 seconds left. The BC crowd exploded!
See everyone Sunday and hopefully a 4-point weekend. MC still undefeated as the came from behind to beat BU in OT. I'm sure BU will want to salvage this weekend with a win but BC should be ready for them with a rock em sock em game at Conte with a day rest in between games.
I watched the game earlier today and BU was certainly the better team in that one. I was disappointed in the Eagles lack of urgency, especially going into the 3rd period down four goals. BU gave BC six PP opportunities and they (BC) couldn't cash in on any of them. The passing was terrible by BC throughout the game. If they weren't missing the passes, then they just passed way too much. But you've gotta give BU credit, they simply outworked and outhustled BC for most of the game. This was definitely NOT the same BC team that soundly defeated North Dakota in their barn in the Icebreaker championship.
The team as a whole just wasn't playing well, but I suppose if there was one standout player, I'd have to give the nod to Gaudreau. He was showing some really slick stick-handling moves early in the game and did his best to create some scoring opportunities, but unfortunately they were far and few in between.
If there's anything good that could come out of this is that BC will get their chance to exact revenge on BU in about 3 weeks when the two teams meet again at Conte in a home-and-home tilt on Dec. 2 & 3.
Next up is Notre Dame on Friday night. The Irish are playing well right now, but if BC brings their "A" game and not what they brought against BU earlier today, they should be able to pull out the win. Should be a fun one to watch, especially since both teams will be Hockey East foes come 2013. I'm looking forward to it.
