A solid win for us and BU last night

BU travels to UNH to complete the series tomorrow.
I watched most of this game on TV and listened to the last ten minutes on the BU radio station (1330AM). It was a really good game, with two very different styles. Of note:
- UHN seemed to be forechecking happy and that created some good opportunities for both teams (works fore and against you ;) ).
- Whitney was a healthy scratch for BU (I find this amusing), a technique that Parker appears to be using as disciplinary (the bobble-heads said something about Parker doing the same for one of his better players in the BC series, though I can't remember who).
- Parker sees Fields as his team's MVP, which I don't get. The UHN goalie, Ayer, looked substantially much better.
I was, of course, pulling for BU, both from this year's standpoint and because of UHN last season.
Interesting to see how UNH plays down the stretch. If all goes VERY well and Cornell gets a #1 regional seed (oh please, oh please), then none other than UNH could be the #2 in the same region.
