Well there's one that got away. Figured a 3-0 lead would be pretty comfortable with Gillies between the pipes, guess not. Must win tomorrow, can't afford sweeps in Hockey East play.
Unacceptable performance by everyone in the second and third period...PC is a better team than BU and needs to play a full 60 minutes if they want to be capable of winning an NCAA title.
Since I was not there I will not say it is the reason, but a team cannot let high rankings go to its head. You still have to play 60 minutes. I hope that was not the case.

I have to call this a must win.....good bounce back now lets continue on
I agree it was a must win both in terms of keeping pace in HE and avoiding the sweep but also in the overall picture so they didn't drop out of the top ten.
Next weekends series against Merrimack will be a good one as both teams tradtiinally give the other one fits.

Yeah, although given the way this team was between 2003 and Nate's second year, who doesn't traditionally give us fits in HE? Forgetting the traditional struggles against BC, BU, Maine, and UNH - we had difficulties against NU, Merrimack, UML, UMASS and I've still never seen them beat UVM.

Jon its not where we are in the poll its how we got there, giving up 4 unanswered goals is not what a top rated team does, if we lose a game its OK as long as the other team beats us but go out and lose it because you play poor is not acceptable....I expect to drop a few more this season but to do it fighting and I am sure the staff will see that we do go down swinging not sitting

I'm never okay with us losing to BU - too many awful games that I'm trying to forget - but it has to be an educational moment about not sitting on 3 goal leads at ANY point in the game. From Saturday's game, they got the memo.

We're at #6 in the USCHO Too Early to Care Poll.
I think the only Hockey East team I've never seen PC beat in person is BC... I saw PC beat UVM last year up in Vermont, but it wasn't pretty.
