Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Both teams were outshot significantly.

It's worth noting that a decent percentage of UConn's SOG margin was accumulated in the third period when they were pouring it on to tie it up. While they certainly outchanced BU significantly, the majority of the game wasn't an overwhelming attack on the BU net.

If Uconn (or anyone else) wants they can borrow some of uhn‘s “more sog” banners to hang

Will you look at all that glorious offense. 87-59-38 (38 goals from the third line!!! ) 58-69-39-31 (31 goals from the 4th line!! - with Chris Drury centering it.) I know it was a different era but... Wow. Good times.

Come on 4th line, do it Friday!!! Vegas has you at 300-1 to score.

Also, closing the book on Saturday...

It was interesting to note that the 3rd line stopped getting shifts in the 3rd. It was all 1-2-4. I guess DQ also had money on the 4th line scoring.

The two stats I like to bring up for that 90-91 team:

Three 30-goal scorers (McEachern 34, Amonte 31, Tomlinson 30)
Four 60-point scorers (McEachern 82, Amonte 68, D. Sacco 61, Tomlinson 60)

It was a different era, but that was some fun offense to watch.

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

That was five, not four, wasn't it? Three regular season games plus Beanpot? Four is doable. And thanks for bringing up that memory.

correct as usual, it was the 5th game and the final score of it was 5-0 coincidentally ........................as sweet and delicious as that 5-0 game was, it kind of reminds me of Carton Fisk's home run..........................useless. Eagles and Red Sox didnt cash the ticket . Unless it ends with the ultimate prize, for me, its an empty feeling.

90-91 squad scored second most goals in program history, 234; two less than the '95-'96 team.

They also yielded 142 goals, ninth most ever at BU.

Forgive me if I don't feel bad for you.

Also, defkit pointed out I missed a game - the HE championship - so that NCAA tournament game was the 6th. Which means BC won one of the regular season games? Were we all playing each other three times back in 2006??

[J.D.]

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Here were the results in order:

BC 2-1
BU 6-2
BU 4-3 (BC had a 2-0 lead in that one)
BU 3-2 (Beanpot)
BU 2-1 OT (Hockey East title game)
BC 5-0

Really, call the 6-2 game the outlier in BUs favor and the 5-0 one the outlier for BC. While nobody saw 5-0 coming, BC winning that last game really wasn't a huge surprise.

I noticed that also, looks like the undersized freshman line is the 3rd choice for most of the game, but the definitive 4th choice when trying to protect a lead late.

Given the personnel available a 4th line that is not a threat to score, but is strong defensively is probably the best option.

It wasn't a huge surprise after Boyle's goal on the giveaway. That was one of those "1-0 game over" type of goals. You could feel the air go out of the BU side of the building. Probably the most deflating goal I can remember other than the 1991 OT loss in the National Championship game to Northern Michigan after McEachern hit the post with a wide open net (and after BU had come from three goals down to take the lead).

Schaeffer!!!!!

I actually blame Parker. BU had been making that play all season long. It didn't take a rocket scientist to say - "hey let's send a guy in to disrupt that play they make to the front of their own net". Maybe Boyle's long reach was the difference.
