    Re: BU-Merrimack 11/13 and 11/14

    For my $15, Friday night will be a very interesting game and probaby the most intriguing matchup. I'm looking forward to watching this game to I would imagine a packed Volpe Complex/Lawler Arena.

    Any Lowell fans like myself not making the HSV trip going to this?

      From what I've heard Merrimack has been drawing a fair amount of students and of course the team's early success should bring out some more. BU will travel well as always so hopefully it is a packed house.

      Friday: BU 3 MC 2 OT
      Saturday: BU 4 MC 1

        I'm not sure why so many people are picking MC to lose big at Agganis...it's clear from the North Dakota games that large loud crowds don't phase them. They were one star forward *cough* da costa *cough* (a story i wont get into here) from winning.

          It's not so much Merrimack than BU. I'm thinking that Friday night will be a close game, and regardless of whether BU gets 2 points or zero, they'll see how hard they need to work against every single opponent this year and (finally?) come out flying and win every battle.

            Not sure if people are interested in this but I interviewed Chris Barton for my blog and he talked a little about the MC/BU series.

            1) Last season Merrimack missed out on the Hockey East playoffs but finished the season strong. Is there a different mindset that has led to the early season success?

            I think overall we have more skill and depth than we have ever had in recent years. The mindset is not much different than in the past. We have always strived to win but I think this year we have more guys who know how to win. Many guys this year have won championships in the past with their other teams. We have a long way to go but it is nice to see some of the hard work over the years paying off.

            2) You are from Calgary. What was the appeal of attending an American college versus playing in the Canadian Hockey League?

            As far as me coming to Merrimack, I have always wanted to recieve a scholarship to the US to play hockey. As far as Canadian Colleges go; you either play in Major Junior in Canada or you go to the States on scholarship. After major junior if you do not turn pro then you attend canadian universities. I am honored to be playing hockey in the states as many of my prior teamates did not get the chance that I did.

            3) In your opinion what will it take for this season to be considered a success?

            For this season to be considered a success we need to first of all make the playoffs. Secondly, move forward as deep as we can in the playoffs and finally our ultimate goal is to win a hockey east championship. We have a long way to go to reach our ultimate goal and we will continue to work hard and get better every day to accomplish our goal.

            4) You are one of the top scorers in Hockey East with seven goals and three assists. Any secret to the offensive production?

            No secret but just want to continue to contribute to help our team win. My success thus far is not only because of me but because of the help from my teamates, after all it is a team game.

            5) Which NHL player would you say you play a similar style as?

            Thats a tough question but maybe someone like Marco Sturm or Marc Savard.

                Shouldn't that be a yellow-out??

                  My guess was that it was an NCAA Clearinghouse thing. It wasn't?

                    Yes but then again the Penguins have white-outs...when the other team is wearing white.

                    MC needs a minimum of a split to be considered legit and for that matter should really get at least 3 points. Be interested to see who gets the start tonight and tomorrow as I'm sure they'll split but I wonder who starts at home. Let's go mack
