Weekend in review.

Captain Tommy Cross had three assist on the weekend. 

Another weekend with four points at stake, another weekend with four points out of it. The Eagles remain #1 in the country for the second consecutive week following a two game sweep of UMass Lowell. BC had strong play from the line of the Chris Kreider-Bill Arnold- Kevin Hayes line and the Whitney-Mullane-Gaudreau line. These two lines have had pretty consistant play all year long and look for that to continue. The same can not be said for the Straight-Almedia-Carey line. This line was very strong last weekend especially vs NU, but this weekend the magic was not their. This line is usually very strong at cycling the puck down in the opponents zone but for some reason could not do it to the extent they did it last week. Destry Straight did record his first goal of the season, but really needs to step his game. His speed is not up to that of his linemates Carey and Almeida, and it is beginning  having an effect on him. Throughout the weekend, the problem was not the offense, as BC combined for ten goals in two games but at times the effort was not there. I was extremely disappointed by the team's effort in the last two periods vs a very hard working Lowell team on Saturday night. Lowell was able to outshoot BC in Conte 40-24. That is embarrassing and it never happens to BC especially at home. Thank god for Parker Milner's strong play as of late and if it wasn't for him, BC would be in a different place right now. 

Another problem is the lost of Pat Wey. His shoes are bigger then I thought. The Eagles have yet to find a replacement for him, as the defenseman who were put in to fill his spot were not on their games. Ok, I am being to harsh but the Eagles need to find a replacement for him.

Finally, this Friday BC welcomes in the Black Bears of Maine. This is a huge and if BC gives the effort they gave in the last two periods on Saturday, they could lose by a lot. Maine is a very talented team, and will be a tough matchup for BC. I will have my preview on Thursday. 

Happy Halloween, 

GO EAGLES.
