BC needs to learn how to not panic when they are behind, but the problem is if they're behind it's usually because a team is closing us down in the first place and we need to try something different..

I think UW has this same problem at times.

I don't know man. It was more of the same for us. Brutal loss.

If I was going to try to "fix" BC, I'd concentrate on defense, defense, and more defense. You miss Burt more than we expected, so I'd try to borrow from Wisconsin and make it almost impossible to even get a look at your goalie. I think her confidence comes and goes. You'd like your goalie to stop the 1st and 3rd goals last night; the other two were on the skaters. I don't understand why your defensemen don't have the primary job of making life easier for an inexperienced goalie. It's like BC only has Plan A, which hasn't worked that well at the highest level in the past, and there doesn't seem to be a fallback plan. By the end, you could just see Harvard improving with every shift.

Well said. Agree that there is a definite need to focus on playing defense in front of a first year goalie. She likely feels it’s all on her right now which it clearly isn’t. If they can figure that out, they will be in the running. If not, their season will come to an end quickly.

As a midwest elitist, I don't think bc should be fixed. I'm fine with how bc plays...Very entertaining to watch.

As a Gopher fan I'm with FHF, in that I recognize that BC has tons of talent and is entertaining to watch, while also recognizing that this team hasn't figured out how to beat teams that they have no business losing to. They are in no way out of going far in the post season - should they qualify - if they somehow manage to figure things out and if they do possibly going on all the way to win the NCAA championship. Provided they make the necessary adjustments, as ARM points out above, if they do I believe they have the talent to win it all.

Therefore, again as a Gopher fan, I'm with FHF, in that I'll be totally fine with if BC continues with their current all-offensive system, with no adjustments needed.

The fear is palpable for UNH down 3-1 to bc...

Somehow UNH, on a PP, gave up a 2-0 breakawy...

Megan Keller by herself is leading UNH 2-1.

Re: D1 2018-19 scores, discussion, etc

Someone should tell the announcer that bc already had the touchdown. They just added the extra point.

Just what the doctor ordered for bc...A team that did their best pylon imitations and offered up very little resistance.

Final 7-1 bc over UNH.

When we scored the 7th with under a minute to go he said "there's the dagger!" I ribbed him a little for that one lol

He's a great announcer. Knows the team well and is one of the few PBP guys to actually put in the effort and get to know the stuff from the other roster. I enjoy listening to him call our games. He's fun.

All in good fun...I have streamed quite a few bc game this year and I will give him his due as he does do a good job.

BTW Ohio State loses to a team in green tonight...3-2 Bemidji over the Buckeyes.

Re: D1 2018-19 scores, discussion, etc

Minnesota State scores on the power play to make it 2-1 Badgers. Twelve minutes left in the 2nd. The Mavs' lone shot in the first came on a breakaway after a center ice Badger turnover.

Edit: Badgers answer quickly on a power play of their own, now 3-1 with another two minute power play to work with.

Edit No. 2: Badgers score again and make it 4-1. This game is all but over...

St. Lawrence with a 1-0 lead over Cornell, heading into the 3rd.

Some pairwise adjustments needed this week / today. Does anybody have any insight why PW hasn't been updated for a few days?

Game ends in a 1-1 overtime tie. St. Lawrence outshot Cornell 36-29 which is a bit of a surprise.

Because USCHO doesn't really care that much about women's hockey. Notice that the men's pairwise gets updated far more frequently.
