Brian Sullivan… and thank goodness, after last week’s depressing events. The Dog House (NU) just sang something indecipherable at BU’s Dog Pound, to which — among other responses — a single fan in the center of the pack held up a posterboard-sign that read, simply, “WRONG”. Brilliance.
With an expansive rumble, the teams take to the ice. The Terriers streak off their bench in their sanguine scarlet alternates, replete with triple-striped shoulders and seriph-sculpted script on the nameplates. The Huskies are wearing their home whites, “Northeastern” arced over the red-and-black split N, as the players take their places on the sheet. The … Read more

Well this is a first, for me at least. The Huskies fans broke out in a “let’s go Huskies (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)” … the BU faithful responded with “go BU” … and after a couple seconds, the timing synched up, and it ended up being one long, overlapping cheer with “go BU” coming through during … Read more

Merely out of curiosity, I’ll be keeping a running tally of a few things at the bottom of my posts. Profanities, pro/anti chants (those supporting your team versus those against the other team), I dunno … whatever comes to mind. Cheers.

Woe is Harvard. The Cambridge Ivy (5-14-1) failed to secure a single non-conference victory this season with it’s 4-3 defeat at the hands of Boston College, and it has yet to win away from its home Bright Hockey Center. Boston College improves to 13-9-4, and swept Harvard by a combined 9-4 score. Up next is … Read more

Ask and ye shall receive. With the Terrier/Husky conglomerate clamoring for a quick conclusion to the consolation contest, Boston College senior Benn Ferriero complies. 4-3 on a far-side squeaker, beating the otherwise impressive Carroll under his left arm. 41.3 ticks on the clock.

The teams are still deadlocked, and neither side is carrying much momentum at this point. Are we destined for a Championship-postponing extra session?

The crowd is definitely swelling, and there’s finally a real game-time feel to this one. 6:12 left in the third as the puck leaves the surface, both sides playing even.

Now it’s Boston College on the advantage, as nearby Somerville, Mass. native Matt McCollem put his stick across an Eagles’ torso. (It’s called a cross-check.) 3-3, 7:20 and ticking …

With 11 minutes left in regulation, Harvard’s novelty goalkeep robbed first-line center Cam Atkinson on a point-blank, cross-crease dangle. Atkinson tried to pull it back and roof it to the far side, but Carroll’s trapper was up to the task. Harvard to the power play, as BC can’t count its skaters.

What Is Love (Baby Don’t Hurt Me) now, first by the Crimsoneers, then mimicked by the BC band. It’s also the third, maybe fourth time one band has followed the other with the same tune. It’s like a nerd fight: mildly amusing but oh, so sad … EDIT: now it’s Every Time We Touch by … Read more
