As satisfying victories go, Holy Cross’s 5-4 win over No. 7 Boston University doesn’t quite rate with the Crusaders’ stunning upset of Minnesota in the 2006 NCAA tournament. But it’s not far off.

BOSTON — Boston University fans know that they can count on senior goaltender Kieran Millan. Except, perhaps, in games that don’t count. In last week’s exhibition game, Millan sleepwalked through two periods, giving up five goals on just 17 shots against St. Francis Xavier. But what a difference a week, and a game that counts … Read more

Okay, Boston University fans, keep one phrase in mind: Exhibition games don’t count. The No. 10 Terriers played especially poorly in the first period and trailed 5-0 through two periods.

For the second night in a row in this best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinal series between Boston University and Northeastern, the game left a coach praising his opponent and muttering about his team’s inconsistent effort as well as bad bounces and dubious officiating.

As the saying goes, the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Led by the great … Read more

Freshman goalie Clay Witt was making just his third collegiate start. Forward Randy Guzior and defenseman Mike Hewkin hadn’t scored goals all season.

This Valentine’s Day was no box of chocolates for Boston University. Facing their first last-place Beanpot finish since 1980 as well as a dire need to improve their status in the PairWise Rankings, the No. 15 Terriers instead hit their lowest point of the season. Meanwhile, a Harvard team that had every reason to quit … Read more

Three days before Super Bowl Sunday, Boston University head coach Jack Parker had an early kickoff. Just 15 minutes into Thursday’s practice, Parker grew fed up with his team’s lackadaisical effort and kicked the skaters off the ice. The goalies kept practicing because they were working hard. It proved to be somewhat of a preview … Read more

For Boston University, it seemed like Groundhog Day came about 12 days early tonight. Just like in the film starring Bill Murray, BU seemed to be repeating the recent past this evening. For the second game in a row, they fell behind 3-0 before pulling it together — only to lose 3-2. But in another … Read more

It was hard to say whether the Harvard Crimson faced a tougher opponent when they looked across the ice at No. 16 Boston University tonight or when they looked in the mirror at themselves.
