It's all lining up for PC to be last at large team in and then get to play in Providence

[BCeagle]

The BC announcers are pre-occupied with their season not ending. Really not sure.

BC is playing with house money 💰

Any win is just gravy after a terrible season

As much as I like your optimism I think this year it's not going to happen...need to make sure either UMASS or NU win HE, preferably against each other disposing of BC and BU on Thursday...

Really sucks those 2 schools getting to Boston, especially an Eagle team with only 13 wins....

PC got what they deserved, they have played bad all year including that throw back attack on the power play

Absolutely.

This pretty much sums it up as far as I'm concerned. They are what they are as a team which I feel this year is average at best. They should have finished off BC with all that was at stake for the Friars in terms of NCAA and they choked. If they get in at this point they should consider themselves lucky. Very average team. Simple as that.
I do get a kick out of our resident UNH fan constantly getting so worked up about the Friars. What's even funnier is those of you that give sway to any of his sour opinions on all things PC hockey.

I know BC was picked to win league, was PC 2nd? BC dragging the Friars into the abyss with them.

Yes

I need to be clear. BC was mentioned in my post in regard to PC needed to win the series but I want to be clear when I said very average team I was talking about the Friars this season and they should feel lucky if they get into the tournament.

So apparently, in order to slip into the NCAA tournament, we have to root against Bowling Green, Harvard, BU and BC. So basically, like the Beanpot every year?

And Brown too. I think it's either Penn State or Notre Dame, but not both.

If it makes you feel any better I would have loved for BC to be very average this year instead of the dumpster fire they were.

BC had a rough year by their standards but if they win two games and they are in the tournament. They will also reload and be back in the thick of it next season. I did want to make sure folks knew I was slagging BC. PC has been average at best this season and couldn't seem to win the big game when needed this year. I feel PC needed to guarantee a spot in the NCAA by finishing off BC and moving on to the Garden. I respect BC's program and I do think the entire program needs to be held accountable for their terrible record against BC in a down year for the Eagles. Anyway Coach York will have them back to form next year.
