Boston University was so dominant in the second period this afternoon that it led Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy to suggest a rule change, admittedly in jest. “I think we should get rid of the second period and just play two halves,” Dennehy said. “I think it would be better for TV, sell more ads.” You’d … Read more

Friday was the one night of the year when Boston University coach David Quinn did not want to see his leading scorer light the lamp.

Merrimack managed to keep BU’s top two scorers from notching a point in Friday’s 1-1 tie between the two teams. Tonight? Not exactly.
