For the first time in four games, New Hamsphire goaltender Casey DeSmith wasn’t perfect. But he wasn’t much less than perfect and he was more than good enough. After posting three consecutive shutouts, the sophomore finally saw his shutout streak end at 204 minutes and 40 seconds – a UNH record. Unfortunately for host Boston … Read more

When top-ranked Boston College scored just 42 seconds into Sunday’s game with No. 11 Boston University, it looked like the crowd of 6,150 could be in for a scoring spree. That finally happened, but only after 50 scoreless minutes. The arrivals exchanged five goals in the last nine minutes, as BC pulled out a 4-2 … Read more

Last year, Boston University was 10-8-0 at home and 11-4-1 on the road. Last year, Cason Hohmann had two goals and eight points all season and the Terriers didn’t get a whole lot of offense out of their freshman in general. Just three games into the 2012-2013 season, everything has changed for BU. The Terriers … Read more

Boston University coach Jack Parker saw plenty to worry about when he scouted Providence on Friday night in its opener, an 8-2 win over Sacred Heart. In his notes, he repeatedly wrote “fast and tenacious.” For the better part of two periods, Providence lived up to that billing. Ultimately though, the Terriers pulled out a … Read more

Handily beating a University of Toronto team that had traveled 10 hours to play two games in two days doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the 2012-2013 hockey season. But for a Boston University program that is eager to turn the page on a difficult offseason, it had to feel … Read more

Maine captain Will O’Neill only had one goal all season before tonight’s Hockey East semifinal against Boston University. He picked a heck of a time to have a scoring outburst. With Maine needing a win to keep alive its hopes of its first Hockey East title since 2004 – and with a Maine win basically … Read more

No. 6 Boston University knew that it wouldn’t be easy to end the season for New Hampshire, but this was ridiculous. To oust the Wildcats from the Hockey East tournament, the Terriers needed to come back from a three-goal deficit. They needed another career high in saves from Kieran Millan, and he made 68 of … Read more

After a “legless” effort in game one of the Hockey East quarterfinals on Friday night, No. 6 Boston University managed to spring ahead in game two, just a few hours in advance of the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. With coach Jack Parker juggling the lines after the loss, sophomore Sahir Gill was moved from … Read more

The fourth time was the charm for New Hampshire tonight. After a three-game sweep by No. 6 Boston University in the regular-season series, UNH played a masterful road game tonight, thoroughly outplaying their hosts. The heroics of Terriers netminder Kieran Millan sent the game into double overtime, but the Wildcats finally prevailed, 3-2, in the … Read more

On the surface, you would think that Boston University hockey coach Jack Parker had much to be happy about tonight. His team broke a four-game losing streak at home. His seniors got a win in their last regular-season game at home. Three players — Matt Nieto, Garrett Noonan, and Wade Megan — notched a goal … Read more

It didn’t sound promising. Massachusetts had to travel to face the No. 1 team in the nation Friday night, knowing that it hadn’t managed a road win since October 14 versus Bentley. The Minutemen responded with a fantastic effort, frustrating No. 1 Boston University with great goaltending, consistent defensive pressure, and outstanding special teams and … Read more

Fans at the TD Garden didn’t see the most exciting semifinal in the 60-year history of the Beanpot Tournament Monday night, but they did see a familiar sight – Boston University in the championship game. Hours after being named the No. 1 team in the country for the first time this season in the USCHO.com … Read more

After pulling out a road win over a surprisingly listless No. 2 Boston University on Friday night, No. 20 Maine had to know that it was likely that its opponent would come out with a higher level of intensity Saturday night. While that proved to be the case, the Black Bears were equal to the … Read more

The power was lacking in more ways than one for No. 2 Boston University Friday night. After playing the first half of the game with the dim bulbs on in terms of energy, the Terriers had to wait out a partial power outage halfway through the second period. The unexpected break helped them recharge their … Read more

The U.S. Under-18 Team appears to be growing up fast. One day after giving Northeastern a 7-4 thumping, the talented teenagers showed some resiliency against No. 10 Boston University, bouncing back from a 3-1 deficit to pull out a 3-3 tie in front of 4,040 at Agganis Arena. Stefan Matteau scored the tying goal and … Read more

Classes aren’t in session right now, but the Boston University players certainly came up with plenty of great answers for some tough questions tonight. How would the Terriers bounce back after a terribly flat performance against Notre Dame on New Year’s Eve?  Could they beat a top opponent after losing their top two centers a … Read more

So much for home-ice advantage. For the third time this season in games between archrivals No. 2 Boston College and No. 13 Boston University, the home team outshot its opponent only to lose. And one night after BC was outscored 1-0 in a second period in which they outshot BU by a stunning 23-1 margin, … Read more

Between a 1-1 tie and a 23-23 shot total through regulation, there was not much difference between No. 15 Boston University and No. 17 Cornell on Saturday. And both coaches couldn’t argue that a 2-1 final score was a totally fair outcome. One significant contrast though, was that each coach believed his team deserved the … Read more

When New Hampshire last played Boston University, the Wildcats had a tough 60 minutes, losing 5-0. Tonight it came down to one bad stretch in just 36 seconds. Through the first 47 minutes, the teams fought through a tightly-played defensive battle and were at a 1-1 impasse. Then BU scored twice in 36 seconds, and … Read more

As has happened several times this season, No. 16 Boston University acted as if the game was over when they got up by a few goals. This time, though, BU got away with it. After playing solid if unspectacular hockey en route to a 4-2 lead through two periods, the Terriers were outshot, 14-7, in … Read more
