Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising

Let's take some bets on what time Friday's game will actually start. Every time BU plays the second game, it seems the first game goes into OT. I'm going with 9:17 for puck drop.

It'll be tough to beat the start of the BU/UVM game back in, what was it, '08? I think the game started at like 10:50 or something...

Yeah, wasn't that the Brett Bennett special? MacArthur's last game, which meant his "guarantee" of a NC wouldn't come true (at least not for another 12 months). That was a real downer game.

8:43. I'm optimistic.

A bit of a stretch to say BC has found their stride. The two games they played before the UVM series against Lowell weren't good. I caught the game at BC and they looked laughably bad at times. I don't know what happened down there this weekend and whether it's a product of UVM playing awful or BC catching fire, but prior to that UVM series BC was playing terrible hockey.

A bye week can help. Plenty of time to heal up and also work on things. It was certainly much more like the BC team from earlier in the year.

I stopped going to the hockey east semis after that game. That was brutal.

think we want tOSU and pedd st to win thursday. anything to get pc to drop to a 4 seed will allow the seeds to play out and not make our boys flip to play sioux in fargo.

If we continue winning and stay above Lowell, it increases our chances we stay east and they go to Fargo. Less likely they keep the lower seed east if it's a tossup. Also, the potential of a BU-Cornell matchup would be a boost to the attendance argument.

Except as we know, Lowell would draw better as the top HE team in attendance.

By the way, Jasmine said today she'll see everyone at the Garden Friday. Where's BU's pregame site Friday?

Except we truly don't know that at all.

mookie don't necessarily agree with that. if we see 5/6 & 11/12 having to flip to avoid nacho v nacho, bu will go to fargo and play the sioux.

also not sure there is a 'boost' as in neutral 3rd parties will go. cornellers and bu'ers will go no matter whether they play each other or not.

A BU-Cornell game off campus never draws well, you're right.

After playing with the YATC simulator a bit, it appears there's multiple scenarios where BU can lose to UML in the final and remain above them in PWR. The UNH loss Friday was a killer.

Yeah, tell us about it. Wish they played like today on Friday and then just ended it yesterday.
