Final

The Catamounts finally are able to get Madore out of his net with 30 seconds to play, but unlike the several extra-attacker goals we’ve seen in this tournament, it comes to no avail as Vermont is unable to get a shot on net. And that’s your final. 5-4 BU and an all-red championship game on … Read more

Review Time Again…and We're Tied Again

Just after their power play expires, the Terriers tie the game with 6:54 to go. Off an odd man rush, Chris Higgins’ shot deflects off a UVM player and past Rob Madore. Another review. Count it. 4-4.

Trickle, Trickle

Another power play goal for the Cats and they lead 4-3 with 10:20 to play. Drew Mackenzie’s shot from the high slot beats Millan five-hole. He got a piece of it, but the puck trickles between his legs. What a time for the freshman defenseman to score his first career goal. Was Viktor Stalberg in … Read more

Thoughts While Waiting for the Third Period

– Melrose’s suit is very shiny. – BU travels very, very well. – There’s a lot of kids up past their bedtimes on a Thursday night. 8:30 pm start…what is this, the World Series? – And we’re under way.

Reversal of Fortune

It’s been a much better period so far for the Catamounts, who are outshooting BU 7-2 so far and drawn some penalties by going hard to the net. And just like that, we’re tied. Justin Milo gets his 12th of the season at 9:04, off a power play scramble. And while I an typing this, … Read more

And We Have a Game

Vermont cuts the lead in half at 3:50 of the second period. Wahsontiio (that’s pronounced WAHS-ah-DEE-oh) Stacey makes a nice move, uses BU’s Colby Cohen as a screen, and puts a wrist shot past Kieran Millan to make it 2-1 Terriers.

All Terriors So Far

The first period is in the books with the Terriors killing off most of a Vermont power play (they’ll have seven seconds to work with to open the second period). BU is leading in shots 14-7 and goals, 2-0.
