Good to see you got your mojo back!

My enthusiasm meter is nowhere near where it was before the season, but the year is too short to not at least enjoy it while we have it

Give it a little time. By Christmas you'll have switched from drinking the Kool-Aid to just snorting the Kool-Aid powder. You'll probably be showing us highlight videos with all Watts' goals in simultaneous fashion, first in mini screens like the eye of a housefly, and then superimposed over each other. I can't wait.

There's no way. Until we get to the tournament and start winning meaningful games, the bad taste of that UMD sweep is going to be hanging over us reminding us that no matter how many crap-ass WHEA teams we beat by a touchdown, we're still 0-2 against any team expected to make the NCAA tournament.

That's not to say I'm not excited to see what we can do once we get to March, but the regular season has gone from being a 5 month long party to being one long study hall.

Reyes and Smith are the real deal, SLU has decent speed and plays enough good teams that they shouldn’t be intimidated. This should be a great series.

Going the way of the selective statistics poster EF1...In that study hall you can lookup and verify that bc has a 5-8-1 record against the 4 top WCHA teams since the 2012/2013 season. And worse yet, in that same timeframe, 0-4 in NCAA tournament games against WCHA opponents Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio State. Yikes...

I'm here to assist you in any way I can to help you stay grounded.

Those aren't selective stats, those are stats!! lol

I've seen this movie. I think by the end of November when you go to Northeastern and blow up the Huskies, euphoria will be back. You'll already be done with UConn, the one HEA team that doesn't seem to be scared of you. Your single game at Maine will be out of the way. Dude, face it: you're an addict. You know that the cupcakes are bad for you, but they go down so sweet. Take another bite; you know you want to.

BC went 9-0 against Vermont and Merrimack at home and on the road last year.

Wait for it …

In all seriousness, if we find our way climbing back into contention for #1 in the Pairwise, I might get close to my preseason hype level. Until then, it's just not happening lol...

Northeastern is yet another team that will not make the tournament (unless we trip all over ourselves in the tournament again, in which case we will have bigger problems). Beating them is not going to improve our 0-2 record against tournament teams.

We hadn't heard from you in awhile so good to see you back posting...

I think Grant really only cares about the 0-fer against the three WCHA teams in the NCAA tournament games since the 2012/2013 season although I'm sure he still gets a kick out of the fact that bc beat Minnesota 4-1 in the 2010/2011 tournament.

I think the point might be those crap teams' record against Minnesota...

Yes but BC being better against crap teams has won us exactly 0 more titles than Minnesota

That game was straight out of the twilight zone, it was a party from start to finish and I loved every second of it.

No might about it...It absolutely was selective statistics poster's point and certainly was beneficial for bc from a pairwise standpoint last year. However, when bc loses in the Hockey East tournament and in the quarterfinals to OSU, it's not much to hang your hat on.
