Big Blow to BC

Their best player and arguably the best player in college hockey, Pat Eaves, got hurt on Saturday and is "very doubtful" for this weekend according to Jerry York.

John (Newton): Coach York, Patrick Eaves missed the last ten minutes of the game on Saturday night after he was hit in the corner. What is his status and will he play against Maine this weekend in the final 4?
Jerry York: He has a bad bruise to his back and shoulder and is having a problem with his lungs. He is going to see a pulmonary specialist on Wednesday. He is very doubtful for this weekend and has not practiced at all this week. We need to wait on the medical reports before we go any further. We are a little nervous and apprehensive about it.

How might this effect the Hockey East Tournament this weekend? I think this is good for Cornell in that Maine has a much better chance against BC and I'm pretty sure we want Maine to do well.

I think this just opens up the field a little more. It's probably anyone's tournament now (anyone between BC, BU, UNH, and Maine, that is).

Much as you want BC to go down, down, down, you don't want it to happen via losing their best player. Better they should do it the old fashioned way: choke when the going gets tough.

But then they'd be Clarkson

[q] Much as you want BC to go down, down, down, you don't want it to happen via losing their best player.[/q]Absolutely. I never like an opposing player get hurt, no matter how hated.
