Cornell @ Boston University, Jan. 14, 2023 - GAME TIME IS 4PM

BU controlled the 1st 10 minutes, largely because they won almost every faceoff and dominated possession. After we started winning a few at the dot, we had a bit of an edge the 2nd half.

True. Just love the accents.

Say "Jahk Pahkah Arener" 3 times fast

Being a Bruins fan I'm loving the accents too

One thing I gotta say though is they need to either turn their mics up or turn the commercial volume down haha

Hit mute during the commercial and forgot to unmute.  Didn't really miss the patter.

One of the better two-way BU teams I've seen. They have skill and speed but are now a bit more aggressive on the puck carrier than some of the teams in previous years. Not surprising considering who their current head coach is and the kind of NHL player he was.

That said, Cornell is keeping good possession around the BU net and it led to the first goal. Bancroft would've made it 2-0 shortly after if not for a last ditch effort by Commesso.

Also, there were some pretty audible "Let's go red" chants at a few points. Nice to hear

[arugula]

We should have at least 3

While I'm pretty pleased with how we're playing, I'm frustrated that both BU goals were rather preventable. The 1st one came after we iced the puck, and I believe Malinski had the puck behind the net. We were a bit gassed, but he elected to ring the puck around the side of the rink opposite our bench, so we couldn't get a change. The second one was even more frustrating, as we had done a great job killing the long 5 on 3 and had a chance to chip it out of the zone with just seconds left in the period but failed to do so.

Hopefully we shake that off and keep cycling the puck in the offensive zone; BU is susceptible to our heavy game down low.

Is there a slack channel? The link in the menu does not seem to work.

And the accents are pretty funny. I live in Boston and these accents are pretty strong.

[scoop85]

God I love the BU announcers.

The longer I hear them, the less I like them. All the color guy can say is "transition" and both guys think Cornell commits a penalty on pretty much every sequence.

[arugula]

Yes they've grown more homer-ish over the game.

[Iceberg]

Malinski continues to own BU

[Sperris]

I'm listening to the radio rather than the tv guys. Are they the same?

[Iceberg]

I'm listening to the radio rather than the tv guys. Are they the same?

I'm pretty sure the BU guys simulcast. I think Corbett is the name of the PBP guy

[Dunc]

Wow that's a tough way to end a well fought game

[arugula]

Wow why do I bother?
