Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Should be an interesting game next Monday. My brother is an NU grad while I'm a BC grad.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

There's a good gag me piece by Weighart up. I think Millan should be on the front page

In other news: OMGZ BC ON THE FRONT PAGE OF BUSCHO!!! SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!

True, but the obligatory Scott Weighart BJ piece on how BU is "rising to the top" is there, too. Does that clown write anything that isn't BU related? He's such a fraud.

regarding the officiating, you don't make those calls late in tie games like that. All three, the two BC and the one BU seemed to be marginal and should have let them go. The video replay was as fixed as a third world election. The puck clearly crossed the line and I'm not sure how that was allowed to be a no-goal call. It's weak when you can predict that BC will have a goal taken away via replay in the Beanpot vs. BU and it happens every time.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

A few quick hits before I go to class (will probably have more to say later):

-All 3 BC goals deflected off BU players.
-This marks the first time BC has beaten BU five times in a row since winning 8 straight from 1953-57.
-The calls on K Hayes late in the 3rd and Ruikka in OT were both atrocious.
-The reviewed play was definitely a goal.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Not sure if anyone else at the game noticed this, but when the teams came out for the 3rd period, the announcer said "Your Eagles. And your Huskies." That is pretty bad, considering he's the BU announcer!

..that wasn't the BU announcer.. pretty sure i saw some tarot cards..
that was Miss Cleo

The tipped goal article was especially hilarious considering their only year of relevance in the past decade and a half was entirely based off lucky bounces and of course an extremely questionable review at the garden.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Congrats to BC on a hard-earned come from behind win. BU played as well as they have against BC this year, but still came up short. It's a good indicator of where these two programs are.

- Given some of the non-calls earlier in the game, I agree that all three late calls were poor. The two to BU were gifts. The one in OT was a no-brainer given the other two, and the sell-job by the BC player.
- Perhaps my eyes are failing me or my 42 inch LCD just isn't good enough, but I struggled to see the puck clearly cross the goal line. I saw a black stick blade clearly come through Millans legs and get over the line, and with the expanded "zoom" box view during the intermission, I saw a very grainy shot of the puck moving laterlaly across the goal line, with part of it seemingly inside the line. Not saying I disagree with everyone, I just didn't see it clearly enough to be convinced that it was a goal.
- Has anyone seen Charlie Coyle lately? That line was probably the least effective all night. With that much talent, they need to step it up.
- Millan played very well, again. Tough luck for him with some of the goals.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Wow just watched the replay, comical how it wasn't called a goal -but then again isn't that par for the course?

Here's a tissue for you.

For 1 team to get 3 straight powerplays in a tie game in the last 10 minutes, several of which were extremely questionable....

Make that two. Poor guy.

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Over the past 15 years (JY tenure), I wish I had a buck for every goal BC has scored against BU that starts by winning a PP faceoff in the BU d-zone, circle around to point man, nice hard shot from the point, goal on the shot or rebound.

I thought Coyle was fantastic last night. BC looked pretty weak on the boards and he was one of those strong BU players along the wall making BC look bad in the times where BC struggled. If his line's not producing, maybe it's the other two guys?

Re: The 59th Annual Beanpot Tournament

Well, last night will prove to be Coyle's one and only shot at winning a Beanpot.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. You look like a buffoon. Most of the BU fans are doing a good job in defeat today. You... not so much.

#1 team in the country, and you're whining about a women's hockey article. Amazing! Here's a Kleenex.

Who is whining? Maybe BU should send their women's team to play the BC men from now on. Clearly they would have better luck than your sad little puppies this year. I bet they'd even let Weighert drop the ceremonial first puck, too (before he applies his facepoint and starts waving his flag)
