The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

Re: The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

I'm thinking next Monday night's game will be low scoring. BC seems to be focusing more on defense and goaltending lately and has been real good of late. Also Witt seems to be in a zone also.

The difference may be special teams play and mistakes that lead to goals. Whoever takes the early lead first has the advantage. Coaches emphasizing no unnecessary penalties.

I think you can make a better argument that the 2011 NU/BC semifinal might have been different with Witt instead of Rawlings. BC scored 2 "cream-cheese in the oven" soft goals in that one.

I thought BC played NU in the final in '11? I'm getting old and losing it but I thought that was the wacky 7-6 overtime game that was followed up by the 7-7 game at Conte the ensuing Friday.

Witt is a million times better than Rawlings, but this year's BC team is also much better than last year's team.

It would be hard for BC to sweep a team as good as NU 3-0 in the season series, but I do think the Eagles are better overall... and Demko is emerging as a legitimate #1 goalie, which helps, too, in terms of matching up against Witt and his ridiculous save percentage.

Should be a good show.

You're right about the 2011 game being the final. Why Cronin never pulled Rawlings from that game is something I'll never understand. Muse was having a bad night; Rawlings was having a worse night.

Totally agree with the last sentence. If nothing else, we can both agree that the two best teams in Boston are in the championship (even if one of them is from Newton).

Hey
At least he's calling it a beanpot now that they've won 4 in a row -- for his first decade here it was the p!sspot

True! Caring at all for winning the pot was an iron clad determiner of fanboyness. Somebody's moving those goalposts!

But of course they're gonna know it and see their team win by their 4th grade they go to BC or BU don't they?

But if we can root for Cambridge and Huntington then there's no reason that a final can't have them both (uhhhhhh)

Well done!
I want to hear the audio of that!

P.S. misspelled starring. More fluid reading (singing) when spelled right.

So... just so we're clear.
The guys who have nicknames for players are fanboys.
The guys who have created not one, but two, songs devoted to their hockey team are... what exactly?

Just goes to show you the variety of ages on this thread. I have NO CLUE what this is about (I imagine a parody of a rap "song"), just as I'm sure this poster has no clue who Don McLean is...

Real Slim Shady by Eminem which came out in 2000. As far as Don MacLean, Weird Al's Star Wars remix of American Pie is much more enjoyable to listen to.
