All games are critical now...

After last weekend, we control our own destiny. We need to be in 4th place (home for the quarters) and all we have to do is win!
Get to Boston for the HE tournament and see what happens!

Interestingly, USCHO came out with its first bracketology projection today and slots only 1 HE team, BU.
The message is clear - tough to make the top 15 w/o winning HE. (BTW, I say top 15 because Atlantic Hockey gets an auto bid.)
 
Interesting to see how the goaltender situation plays out this weekend.

Who plays tomorrow? If Saturday becomes a must win for the 4 seed, who starts? Will Cavanaugh go Sergeev both games?
 
There is a school of thought that says if we make the HE finals, we’re in. Just need no upsets in those auto bid conferences. I‘m in, but if we just win, it would be better.

You peg it right - just win baby!

Re: USCHO bracketology - it is a little obvious re: the BIG 10 bias. 5 out of 7 teams are slotted, including 3 with .500 and below conference records.

Next season the BC freshman class is ridiculously talented.

Kinal is being exposed tonight. He’s not playing well.

Terness does not look good
 
Percival with a horrible penalty. Lucky not to be tossed out.

What is with this team and boardings?

Just a horrible play by Percival.

Anybody know what Logan was doing on that first goal, very weak goal

The announcer said a UConn player hit the shooters stick and it changed either the speed or direction of the puck.
 
Lets see, the worst passing I've seen from a UConn team since 2014?

A half step behind on every play, a horrible goal to allow and what our 5th boarding of the year? 6th? Why the hell is Percival even touching him a full 1-2 seconds after he got rid of the puck at center ice?

Hold on to your butts for the first 3 minutes of the 2nd.

It didn’t help that UConn allowed the BC defenseman to carry the puck full speed from behind the BC net to the UConn faceoff circle and then dish it off.

Yeah that's another thing, as soon as they approach our blue line, we back up and back up and back up. Target practice against Terness. Step up and play the body.
 
They did the same thing against Quinnipiac. It’s annoying.

They need a couple defensemen who will stand the forwards up against talented teams.

How BC is under .500 with the talented forwards they have is strange. I understand Benson is not that great of a goalie but they do have 10 NHL picks.
