Sweet victory! Ok The moment is over. We have a game to play. Go hard and it is 1st place!!!
In 40 years of watching the Friars play I can't think of a bigger game at Schneider. Only 2 I can think of that are close are the double ot BU game in game 3 in '01 and the NCAA play in game vs BU in'78
I believe in all time PC has only twice been #1 seed.....in '64 and in '83.
In a kind of note of irony 2 members of the '83 team will be part of the pre game ceremony, Both now have sons who have a chance to repeat the same feat.
As a side note I saw a stat Myles Harvey blocked 5 shots and it should be noted he was a key player in the 5-3 pk with Shamanski in the box cutting who could be on D----Goss just could not have been thrown in that situation
I don't think you can say we play 10 freshman any more.....the majority are seasoned now. Speaking of freshman I think it is clear in the end Gillies is the ROY, but win tonight and he is player of the year......never thought Jim Madigan had such a soft spot for us.
It's almost too simple... win tonight and we get one of those banners like they have in Durham!!! Not to mention a bubble team for the NCAAs.
Lose and you are most likely a road playoff team. Can any of you think of a bigger game played at Schneider in the last decade to 15 years? BU/PC overtime is the last that I can come up with.
Root hard for me Section E'ers et al as I can't make it. I have to be at a high school hoop game (rescheduled from last night) as the AD for my school. FML!!!
I went to the game last night, and I'll tell you: PC will be a tough out. They WILL be one of the four teams at The Garden and they have a very good chance of walking away with the trophy at the end of it. Goalie is Ken Dryden-like AND a Freshman. This could herald a mini sea-change in Hockey East.
Nope...average viewer won't know what's on the line tomorrow, UNH would still get the higher ratings. A few more years of UML and PC doing this and it'll gradually change. But, all about the $$, donchakno

Everyone I talk to thinks PC plays at the Dunkin Donuts Center and gets them confused with the P-Bruins
Great game by your boys last night, well deserved win.
Tonight should be fun, looking forward to my first visit to Schneider in a long, long time!
Hoping not to see a tie, would be nice to see one of our schools win the title.
