LUCAS! Man, what a pick up from UVM

 

[Bomber36]

I don’t care if it’s one on one…a win is a win!

Big time answer after the late tying goal. Can never keep college hockey points straight, that's 2 points?

 

[JeannoCT]

Really nice win.

I believe an OT win is 2 while regulation is 3

 

[The Viking]

Great response after giving up a cartoonish goal off the back of the goalies leg from behind the net.

Nice win. This looks like a really good hockey club. Talented. Resilient. Tough.

All wins should be 3

 

[Bomber36]

A happy recap. Face off disparity must be addressed.

 

[Bomber36]

Refs called a good game tonight. 6 penalties on each team, nothing blatantly missed, in my opinion.

 

[Bomber36]

Link for PC at Denver if anyone is interested. 1-0 Denver after one. One of my friends is a Denver grad. He never lets me forget how good they’ve been. The Denver Pioneers…your 2022 NCAA Champs!

I believe UMass beat them twice last weekend.

I believe UMass beat them twice last weekend.

They did…it’s 3-0 Denver late in the 2nd.

Big "win". BU goalie must have been steamed after giving that one up. Just wasn't sharp on a well placed shot. This is good for the resume. Play loose tonight. Just not in goal.

HE scores from Friday night.

As a goalie, that shot was an impossible stop to expect. Through the defenseman, and in the absolute corner, to the point it stopped dead on the net. Can't put that one on the goalie.

BU's 3rd, however, would have me steamed. Stupid back leg bounce......

 

[Scoe]

The BU color guy sounds like he was dragged out of a pub moments before the game started and has been returning there in between periods.

You could sense how painful it was to give us any credit, or talking about or program, the play by play guy was pretty objective

3 on 3. @Viet Vet is not happy.

lol…you beat me to it Medic!

Made my drive home from Agganis MUCH easier though!

Was at the game, honestly the chippiest game of college hockey I’ve seen in a while. Clearly it was in BU’s game plan to be as physical as possible with us, but they took it a little too far at times. Couple of dirty hits after the whistle, etc. I will say we definitely matched it back (with a few of our own questionable hits), so I’m proud of the boys for not letting the opponent dictate the game physically.

This is kind of why fighting actually has a place in the NHL because that at least kind of allows the emotions to settle — it honestly becomes a little dangerous without fighting, there was a stretch I think in the 2nd where the refs lost all ability to police the game. Fortunately I don’t think there were any major injuries on either side as a result of the questionable hits.

Nick kind of played that enforcer role — he did last year as well. He got a penalty for a hit after we killed a penalty for one their hits — over than giving up the 3rd goal I felt the team really responded after that hit by Nick. We know he’s talented, but that’s a part of his game I think goes under the radar and is pretty important in hockey, especially in this conference where the games will be extremely physical.

First time seeing Wood in person, he definitely has an NHL body. I was sitting with someone who had no idea who he was and the first thing they did was point him out on the ice since he stands out with his size.

You can also tell Tverberg has been putting in the work all summer as he takes the next jump — don’t remember him being as fast as he was last year! Dude definitely was working hard in the off-season and it shows.

The "got 'em" on penalties was particularly annoying. Why are all the Boston announcers horrid homers?
