Alas now to the NE regional in Worcester. As expected they get the #16 seed in AFA, while Maine battles UMD in the nightcap.
Not necessarily an easy game but BC should get by AFA. The next game, UMD and Maine will be a war.
Got back from the DCU awhile ago. Great weekend for Parker Milner and the team as they win both games by shutouts in the Northeast Regional.
BC plays Minnesota in the semis while Union plays FS. Another big test for the Eagles but they have 2 weeks to prepare for the Gophers.
Just play one game at a time and hope for the best here. This team was in a mid season slump and have reeled off 17 wins now, hopefully they can extend it 2 more games.
Johnny Gaudreau is one heckuva player.
That pick will go down as a huge steal for the Flames.
from what i have heard he is extremely agile, good skater, excellent vision, wins alot of board battles despite his size and is an extremely fierce competitorflames fan here, Curious as to how hes been doing aside from stats? what do you think his potential is if he reaches it?
and anything about arnold?

its BC BU is their hated rival :pthanks! hoping for him to tear it up next year with BU
I am not a big BC fan so my knowledge is minimal but Kreider signed so he will be gone.Congrats on another convincing title...what a program on Chestnut Hill! I think BC is going to have to promoted to the AHL if they keep laying waste to everyone like they do.
How's the outloook for next year with departures?
I have not followed the whole thread but can you guys comment on goalie Brian Billett?
Next year could be a rebuilding year after losing so much to graduation and 2 juniors signing pro contracts.
Mullane, Arnold, MacLead, Milner, Whitney, Hayes, etc will have to provide the leadership and try to get BC to win games and meld together with new players and the now experienced sophmores who have won a national championship as freshmen. Gaudreau leads this group as the rookie of the year.
They do have some talented defensemen coming in to replace Cross and Dumoulin. Begert only saw action in 1 game. Vatrano is suppose to have some skill and speed typical of a BC forward. Brendan Silk may be a 4th liner as his stock has fallen off.
When Parker Milner was in a funk, Billet played about 7 games and did not last long. He started OK but then faltered. BC had gone into a mid season slump since November into January. Milner was reinserted and gradually developed into a solid goalie spear heading BC through the 19 game winning streak and a national championship. At the time of Milner's reappearance and after the weekend losses to Maine in Orono, BC as a team started playing well together and did a typical run for them (19 straight wins) and carried over into the post season with tournament wins after another. (HE Tournament, NE Regional, and FF)
