This probably isn't the game to bring up, seeing as how we had something like 62 shots in that game.
I believe someone suggested earlier that shots don't matter, but is this when the superior play began? Come on Tony support your argument that BC is playing superior hockey, by what standard. We can't go back as far as the Maine games for high caliber hockey and every game since then was against a lower ranked or seeded team. BC was supposed to win those games, which is why they were the number 4 seed with home ice advantage.

Does anyone have contact info for Katie King? Let her know that there's obviously no point in showing up for the game. The other team taking the ice is wearing white and red with a red W, and is flying in from the west, so the game is basically over before it starts.
It'd really save everyone a lot of time and effort.
I think Badger fans are a little worried that their dynasty is about to run into Molly Schaus. Molly Schaus is from Natick. Doug Flutie is from Natick. The logic is unassailable. BC wins by 2.

Games that happened earlier in the regular season are irrelevant. That's not the way we settle things in the U.S. & A. - it's about who's playing their best at the right time. No one denies this! It's a new season now and BC and Wisconsin are 1-0. BC looked good in their game; so did Wisconsin. BC's outburst against Minnesota shows that they have no fear of opponents just because they're flying in from the west.

Finally a rational thought, good job!! You must be a graduate student. Both are good teams, both earned the right to be there, and all that matters is the final score. No one has suggested BC should be scared or can't compete, only that UW is pretty good to. Thanks for setting the record straight, by this time tomorrow we will all know who the better team is.
This was with something like a 5-1 penalty advantage to the Gophers.
Or 3-1, unless the Gophers derived some hidden shot advantage from the late hit penalty on Stack after the final horn. Anyway, I don't see that game having much relevance on the semi. What sunk Minnesota wasn't some fast start by BC, but their own early miscues. When a team leads 3-0 after 8-plus minutes, those were their only SOG, and two came nearly gift-wrapped, it is unlikely to be a trend. Come tomorrow, it won't matter, just like the teams' conference affiliation won't matter. It's all about a single game played on March 18.

Yes it will be nice to see the bickering over in 24 hours. This forces any WCHA fan to root for UW just to shut up Tony and all of the other BC loudmouths. I can't believe I am going to say this but go Bucky. UW 4 BC 1

Gotta love the BC arrogance, it reminds me of the rodents before they started to suck. Now they are all on suicide watch. Obviously TTT20 has got the old marooon and gold glasses on. I'd like to see some facts that back his confidence up, just besides the fact they beat the rodentettes, which UW has as well.
Well, Tim since you asked, here's a few facts, but ttt20 isn't going to like them. UW 3 top scorers have scored more goals (118) than the entire bc team combined (104). UW as a team have scored 492 pts for the yr, bc has 251 total as a team, that's almost double for UW. Rigsby gaa is 1.77 and save % is .921. Schuas has a 1.41 gaa and a save % of .943 (very impressive). BC's pp is 15.8%, pk is 89%; UW's pp is 26%, pk is 88%. The facts tip the scale heavily in UW's direction. I'm not saying UW will win for sure, BC has a chance, but anyone who blindly says BC's gonna win is out of touch with reality. I guess that's how people think out east, or at least ttt20.
Let's go RED!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, I'm sure BC wouldn't turn down a chance to fatten up on the likes of SCSU four times, but hey, whatever you want to hang your hat on.

Yeah, but you've got to consider the fact that Wisconsin put up these numbers in the notoriously weak WCHA. I don't take Mercyhurst's stats at face value, either.
Gotta love the BC arrogance, it reminds me of the rodents before they started to suck.
Actually reminds me a little of the Wisco men's fans in Detroit the day of the final. "We have the guy that won the Hobey, how could we lose?!11111111" Five goals later, a team from Boston lifted the trophy for the third consecutive year. Good times. Is the dude with all the signs going to be in Erie? I still want the "0" sign as a souvenir. (That guy was awesome, btw)
