Will any of the games in Denver be televised?
Out of curiousity-- is BU or BC a better hockey team?
Let me see if I can explain this in the simplest terms.and why is there a Boston University and a Boston College in Boston?
Well, thanks for clearing that up. I knew that they both schools have excellent academics and sports (I'm looking into BC for Business), but wanted to know which school has a more consistent hockey team and/or win more against one another.That depends on what you call better and who you ask. Both have excellent programs and have traditional been two of the top programs in the country that have sent many, many players on to the pro ranks, including the NHL.
Let me see if I can explain this in the simplest terms.
BU came first (read that accredited as a university). They became what we now know as Boston University back in 1863.
BC, if I'm not mistaken, grew from/out of Boston College High School (which BTW still exists). They were accredited as a university in the 1920's. Boston College is one of about a half dozen Jesuit schools with D-I hockey programs.
Both schools are located within a short distance of one another on opposite ends of Commonwealth Avenue. BC is situation in an area known as Chestnut Hill (or as the locals and those in the know call it "The Heights").
Huge sweep of UNH. Millan is just playing phenomenal right now.
Well I hope he plays better against NU on Monday than he did against Harvard last Monday. I remember seeing the Terriers against NU back in November, and IMO that was probably the best game I've seen him so far (and I've seen BU about a half dozen times already).
Former BU goalie Brett Bennett will be a Badger next year.
He certainly had potential and was the better goaltender for us last year, but he did not get the job done when we needed him to. Inconsistent.
Even being inconsistent was he not good enough to be the backup? The Badger faithful are curious as to why the rug was pulled out from under him rather than letting him develop. Is there more to the story?
"I thought there were times when Bennett looked like he was gonna get to a point where he was coming along," Parker said in an interview last month. "He looked better, a little more relaxed and a little more confident.
"But at the same time, I still don't think we got great goaltending in the second semester. We were not happy with the goaltending all year. It was a little bit better, and we got by with what we got. Benny got better as the season progressed, but there was a lot of pressure on him when Gillespie went out. A whole bunch of things added up to the fact that it got better, but still wasn't good enough."
Enjoy the Bennett nightmare, I can't even describe how awful it was last year going to Agganis and seeing some of this.
Did you see tonight's (Friday) game? BU lit up Maine for 7 goals and four separate fights breaking out? Are you kidding me? This must've been one heckuva wingding! So let's have the details.
Speaking of a great BU-Maine wingding, remember the game about 5 years ago when it was a great goaltending battle between Sean Fields and Jimmy Howard and BU won 1-0? It was that game that had that huge brawl that broke out with about 30 seconds left in regulation. I remember Ryan Whitney dropping the mitts with Prestin Ryan (or was it Jon Jankus? I don't quite remember). The game featured something like 324 combined penalties. Remember that one?
I just love these BU-Maine matches. Definitely no love lost between these two.
If BU can win out against UMass and Providence they will win the HE regular season crown. No way does Northeastern take 4 points against UMass Lowell, and as poorly as they are playing, BC.
Let's go Terriers.
