BC 0 @ Sucks 4 (Final)

[JasonN95]

And Harv scores on a one timer. 4-0 with less than 2min to go. Looks like Harvard finally woke up.

Another one for Sucks.  Glad to see an ECAC team pounding Hockey East...  And I hope they're using up all their Whoop Ass(tm) and won't have much left Friday...

4-0 final.  Sparks fly at the end with apparent punches thrown.  Announcers think there will be at least one DQ handed out.

#3 BC falls to a team tied for last in the ECAC.  (Put that way, it's less painful to be glad about a Sucks win.

Quite frankly, the interconference results so far this seaosn indicate that the ECACHL is possibly the best conference in college hockey.  Obviously it isnt, but it is proving itself in the early going.

I'm glad Harvard won on many levels.  It should mitigate against the posibility that the Red will be overconfident come Friday; it's always dangerous playing a "wounded tiger;" and, it certainly is great to have an ECAC squad whip a supposed top team from Hockey East.

Well it looks like a lot of our outcome, at least that part that we can't control, will dependent upon which Richter shows up. The 36 shot 0 goals or 34 shot 5 goals? I assume he'll start since he's certainly had the best performance so far. If so, we need to try and get on him and get him off his game. That refers to team and fans.

He'll get lit up.

Are you suggesting someone get him high before the game?  I think that's a capital idea.

"heh heh hey dude... the puck like totally went in the net.  omfg my stick is so much bigger than yours....!"

Cute quote from Teddy on USCHO, looking forward to this weekend's game:

"Lynah has always been kind of a witches [sic] cauldron," said the coach bemusedly.

Since Friday's game comes just a bit after Halloween and given Teddy's quote after last night's game, I'm thinking that wearing a witch's hat during the team warmup might be a good add to the evening.  Our seats are right behind the goal in Section G.  Good idea or not?

So I went to the game with a SLU fan from Hockey-L and a Canadian colleague who was in town for the same meetings I was.  Surprisingly enjoyable game.  Random thoughts:

-- Harvard has been plugging the hell out of this game, according to someone who was at SLU-H the other night.  As of Monday morning you could only order single seats online, but when I called the H ticket office, there was a choice of three together in a few sections (all four rows or less from the ice).

-- The Hahvahd ticket office continues to be helpful and friendly.  They recognized me as a repeat customer from last year's Hahvahd-BU game.

-- The crowd showed up late, but the place was full until the BC fans started to beat the traffic in the final minutes.  I only saw one yellow t-shirt that might have belonged to a "superfan"; the other BC fans were all middle-aged Bostonians.  (So less entertaining than the BU fans last year.)  Hahvahd had the usual six jerk fans behind the goal (who even managed to screw up the sucky NHL "Schneider ... Schneider ... Schneider .. YOU SUCK!" cheer) plus a band that seemed slightly improved, although the wind section did about as much dancing as playing.

-- Richter was the right combination of good and lucky, even when the D hung him out to dry.  I think it's imperative that we solve him early.

-- Du continues to be disturbingly good.  The first line of Du/Maki/someone else had most of the scoring chances, and looked good on the PP.  Harvard's go-to power play move seems to be: someone centers from the right corner, they look for a tip in front, with Du ready to put in the rebound from the left-side goal line.

-- The final goal was the result of a beautiful crossing pass on a 2x1.

-- F Murphy wasn't bad for most of the game, although the calls that set up the third-period 5x3 were odd.  The trip at the blue line was a dive (and should have been called hooking, if anything) and the slash was a borderline trip.

-- Is a double minor to one team and two minors to the other supposed to result in a 4x4?  I thought nothing went on the board when it was anything more than matching minors.

-- BC was very frus-tra-ted by the end, as you can imagine.
