Eagles complete comeback to beat NU...but loose Wey.

Kevin Hayes had a goal and an assist for BC. 

A valiant effort. Thats how tonight's game could be described for both teams. BC scored just 1:55 into the game when Kevin Hayes scored on a wrist shot from the top of the circle but NU goalie Chris Rawlings should have had it. After that, NU responded with three unanswered goals. Steve Qualier scored on the PP just three minutes after the Hayes goal and Joe Manno scored a goal on a Patrick Brown turnover with just two minutes left in the first. BC was carrying the play the whole game but had nothing to show for it early on as Rawlings was standing on his head. Just as BC was clearly carrying the play midway through the second, Destry Straight turned the puck over in front of his own goal and it resulted in a another NU goal, once again from Joe Manno. Heading into the third, it was 3-1 NU and the crowd was going nuts (just ask Johnny Gaudreau, as Huskie fans were all over him). But O were they in for a treat in the third. BC exploded for two goals in a two minute span, first from Barry Almedia and the second from Brian Dumoulin. The Eagles DOMINATED the Huskies all throughout the final frame, but because of the officiating, had to play shorthanded for a while. In OT NU had a short PP to start but really didn't have any grade A chances. With a minute left, Bill Arnold redirected Patch Alber's wrist shot to win it for BC.

Why the Eagles won

1. The penalty kill was great for BC tonight. Besides the one miscue on the first NU PP, BC's PK went 7/7 in killing off the Huskies.

2. Bill Arnold and Barry Almedia are playing outstanding. I have mentioned these names a lot lately, and rightfully so. Arnold should get player of the week with three goals on the weekend (including the OT winner) and Almedia who is just to speedy got things going in the third for BC with the second goal.

3. NU went of the defense. NU was going at the Eagles hard, and they were doing a great job doing it but after two periods they started to lay back and watch the Eagles fly all over them.

Problems

1. The penalties are becoming a huge problem. With eight NU Power Play's on the night, Bc almost handed the Huskies the game but thankfully BC's PP held serve and held back the Huskies.

2. The Officiating. I know I shouldn't say this, but the officiating against BC has been horrible this year. The refs are are calling everything they see. The Chris Kreider hooking call in the last minute of play was horrible and they called Destry Straight for ruffing when he was ten feet from the nearest NU player. It needs to change.

NEWS- Pet Wey could be out 6-8 with a torn tendon in his right foot.

Next Game- Next Friday @ Lowell.

Notes- BU found a great way to embarras Hockey East by losing to Holy Cross.
