Originally posted by Carmine Scarpaglia View PostI watched most of it (NESN made sure I didn't see everything I attempted to watch anyway).

Woll certainly stood tall. BU obviously had some close calls that inexplicably didn't go in. A lot of weird plays that you typically see in the BC-BU games. I liked the referee just stopping a puck and handing Rasanen a breakaway with which he promptly smoked Oettinger and then pitchforked the backhand over the open cage. LOL.
The entire production was one of the worst things I've ever seen in modern television so replays or even seeing BC score their first goal... out of the question. I thought it was interesting that the officials missed a penalty where Oettinger threw his stick in the third period attempting to make a save. He clearly didn't drop it or have it "slip"...
It's amazing that BC could suck so bad and BU sucks even worse.
But I still see the same problems on the team.
For example, I like the physicality I saw but not stupid penalties. The BU goal was Matilla being out of position and not guarding the backdoor on the BU powerplay.
Need shots on goal, better decision with the puck, better clearing attempts in their zone, make smart passes or drops, etc.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019
0-0...and that was a great game to watch.
Eagles are looking better. Coming together, maybe?
Brown-McBain look good together. Give them a 3rd linemate that wants to play some hockey and see if they can do some damage.'Eavesdropped the BC forum in USCHO. A range of intellects over there. Mostly gentlemen, but a couple of coarse imbeciles' - academic_index, a Brown fan

Their Hockey East record is fine and they will probably be in a good position for home ice and making it to the Garden. Gonna be just like previous two years. Lost in title game and lost semi in OT to team that won title next night. That's what it's going to come down to again.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019
Agree it was an entertaining game to watch. But it also shined a light on this team's lack of finishers. So many opportunities not taken advantage of.
But man, that huge hit on Cockerill in the overtime, that was really something!The ORIGINAL Cross Check

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019
Pretty great game that got better as it went on. Michael Kim was tremendous. As was Woll. BC actually resembled a hockey team this weekend. I would say I’m concerned the hype got them up for these 2 games and worry about a letdown.
Now someone tell me what the hell #3 was doing on the ice with 5 seconds left in OT?Originally posted by reBlurthe sober Trivino I know is not a guy who would force his way into a girl's room and attempt to rape her. I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

He was backing into the goalie and allowing time and space on that final play for the BU player closing in on goal
Another head scratcher is his shot selection in another situation during the game
He had a shooting lane from the blue line with time and space but in inexplicably takes a harmless soft wrist shot instead of a hard, low slap shot
The goalie easily gloves the shot for a face off in the BU zone ((
It’s a nice weekend when you take 3 points over your rivals even if it is not your typical strong BU team

We just got back from Alameda three weeks ago (at the height of the fires - where the air "quality" was 165-220 ppm the entire time we were out there [50 is "healthy"] - and we wore masks every time we went out). Has the rain reduced the threat?
