Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November

What mookie said. BU's tied for 12th in the PWR right now, which is a pretty good place to be. But if they lose 4 of these next 5 (or 5 of these next 7 or something if you wanna go up through BC in the Beanpot opener), you can forget about that. After BC in the Beanpot, BU doesn't play any TUC teams (unless NU continues their run and pushes their way in there), so these games against Merrimack, BC, UNH and Maine are huge. If they go 2-2-1 over these next 5, they're still probably in pretty good shape as long as they finish strong. Anything less, probably gonna have to win HE to get in. Anything more, just don't screw up down the stretch.

Thanks!...for a team that tends to be streaky anyway, let's hope they are on a good streak for the next several important games...we can step up the ladder and send 1-2 teams down below us in HE and the national picture...or we start practicing the golf swing in the mirror. I watched the Harvard game and then a bit the NC game (DVR) the other night and the difference in speed of the breakout, the confidence to make bold passes and speed of decision making are extremely pronounced to my eye. Granted, that was a team for the ages, but the contrast is stark.

First of all, the blonde woman that does "sideline" reporting for CBS College Sports is indeed brutally awful. I'd forgive it if she were hot.

Secondly, here is the hard question we need to ask regarding this upcoming stretch of games: Is BU better than BC, Maine, UNH, or Merrimack? Hmmm. Definitely not BC. Maine? UNH? Merrimack!?

I'd take 2-3. 3-2 would be awesome. 1-4 would suck, but not a shocker. 0-5 and we'll be calling for Jack's head again.

BU Hockey: Reality Check

PS: Defkit: Two lines need to step it up. And the d needs to find their inner nasty. You know, without the penalties.

Two lines would indeed be better than one. However, if the first line maintains their recent play, but the seond line clearly becomes the "top" line offensively, then I think we'll still be okay. I guess I would look to the third line before the first line. The first line being upperclassmen, I don't see a big increase in production as a possibility. But perhpas, Megan, Gaudet, and Gill can step it up, as underclassmen, and can find some chemistry and touch.

I think Merrimack and BU are very similar teams, have great net minders and play with a physicality that is unmatched in HE. Something interesting I've noticed about BU, can't quite put my finger on it, but they always play with an extra spring in their step...dare I say..."jam". haha

Ive been to many BU games, rarely have I seen them play a dud...I think that comes from the tradition embedded in the program and the man behind the bench that the boys are playing for. BU is always a threat, especially in the post season. I think tonight's game might be the best matchup of any two hockey east teams all year long. I'm sad I'm going to miss it.

Audio mute and video mute? I like to call it the "off" button.

Nah, I still want to see the really awesome CBS-CS ticker. Maybe just a button to mosaic the top half of the screen.

That explains how she got the gig. 'cause it surely isn't based on talent.

Wow b2live is terrible. I feel like I'm watching a game from the 80s on rabbit ears.

We had a solid five minute stretch there in the third where we looked gooooood.

So... the last time BU missed the NCAAs two years in a row I wasn't alive...

Somethings gotta turn around quickly here, especially with the schedule getting tougher.
