Quite honestly, I thought BC played pretty well vs a very defensively sound Irish club. Notre Dame's way of botteling up BC's high octane offense seemed to work for most of the night as BC didn't have a great amount of chances. Now, I have been thinking about the goaltending with Milner and have come to the conclusion that he simply made a mistake. He had a great game, just look at the saves he made in the OT. The one problem is that he just has a tough time catching the puck. Although it's a skill that he seemingly doesn't yet have, he can work on it and should be proud of himself the way he has played so far this season. Overall, I take a lot of positives out of this game, the Kevin Hayes goal that was called back was a the worst call I have ever seen, and it ended up costing the Eagles big time. The ref must have went to BU. Overall, good effort by BC, but just didn't get the bounces it needed to win the game.
Why BC lost
1. Notre Dame is one heck of a team. On defense, ND is as good of a team that I have seen all year, and their two big horses up front in Tynan and Lee were as good as advertised.
2. Not enough grade A chances. This is mostly because of ND's great defensive play, but the Eagles need to find a way to create more chances.
Positives
1. I really thought BC played pretty solid vs a good ND team. I like the heart this team showed after an embarrassing game vs BU. This next game @ Yale is as big as this one was so the Eagles need to get right to work on a Yale team that is pretty darn good.
Next Game- @ Yale next Saturday.
Player of the Game-Johnny Gaudreau had another good game tonight with the tying goal, he earns my player of the game.
Happy Thanksgiving,
GO EAGLES
