Beanpot

It’s all over; the Boston University Terriers are your Beanpot champions for the fourth time in five years and the 29th time overall. Kieran Millan now boasts the best start of any rookie goaltender in BU history at 18-1-1, passing current Boston University women’s head coach Brian Durocher.

.. from the peanut gallery, that is. BU fans: “who’s your daddy”, as BU now two wins against the Huskies in two tries this year. “Hey hey hey, goodbye” of course …  NU is standing proud, cheering hard for their boys despite the deficit. “North-Eastern” reverberated as loudly as it did in the first period, … Read more

Freshman David Warsofsky nipped up Brandon Yip’s blocked shot, flew down the right-wing boards in a shorthanded two-on-one with defensive linemate Eric Gryba. Gryba was just enough of a distraction to Brad Thiessen, as Warsofsky snapped the puck right by the goaler for the 4-2 lead … Hobey Baker candidate Colin Wilson piled on, ripping … Read more

Boston University’s most penalized player did what he does best. Joe Pereira, the fourth-line winger, took a conspicuous and unnecessary neutral-zone hack, earning a two-minute seat all by his lonesome with seven minutes to play in a one-goal game. Let’s see how much playing time he gets next week.

BU goes to the power play with just under ten … Read more

Huskies break in on a three-on-two rush, but a lightning-quick Millan poke-check  on Strathman drew a roar from the Terrier corner of the Garden. A couple quick turnovers, a couple few gasps … all part of the fabric of this … Read more

BU escapes the 5×3, but not without a few heart-in-throat moments including a couple bury-the-crease rushes a near-miss on a cross-crease feed. The entire power play has now expired. The Huskies have got to be feeling the pressure now, but they’re still playing as though they’ve got a pack of wild dogs on their tails. … Read more

Well, recent history at least: BU is 17-0-0 when leading after two this season; Northeastern is 1-5-0 when trailing. Right off the bat, Silva gets a Grade-A chance with a low-slot rebound, traffic, and a down-and-out goalie … but the puck hit something, somewhere, and the Terriers cleared the zone. Seconds later, Terrier defenseman Kevin … Read more
