BC embarrases BU, thinking of making Agganis new home.

Danny Linell recorded his first colligate goal to help BC beat BU 6-1. 

Sorry to spoil the party everybody. Yes BU may have their rabid fanbase, there crazy chants, and a coach that just does not give it a break but one thing can be said about BU hockey. They can't beat Jerry York's Eagles at home. BC improved 8-2-2 all time @ Agganis by not just defeating but completely embarrassing BU by a score of 6-1. Congratz to Danny Linell who scored his first goal as an Eagle when he opened the scoring just five minutes in making it 1-0 BC. BU was able to get a fluke goal to tie it up but after that, it was men vs boys on the ice. BC scored four second period goals and one in the third enroute to yet another drubbing of those idiots on their ice. The line changes could not have been any better, as the Krieder-Arnold-Gaudreau line was electric and the fourth line had by far it's best weekend of the year. As I said yesterday, this team doesn't have as many stars as in years past but they are just as deep if not deeper. Guys like Mike Sit, Quinn Smith (who was amazing tonight), and Danny Linell just keep stepping up when they are needed to help led the Eagles to a win. But before I go into my reasons why BC won, there is one guy that certainly cannot be left out of this paragraph. That would be Brian Billett. For him to give that performance in front of that crowd under those circumstances is truly remarkable. The best thing about Billett is his ability to know where the puck is at all times. For example, when a BU player is wrapping around the net Billett knows what side he will go to and when to make his move. That is great skill to have. One other note, when your down by five goals with five minutes to play, it is pathetic to go out head hunting and trying to kill people such as BU did. The way that team displays itself is just totally embarrassing whether it's accusing opponents of diving or playing with the intent to kill them.

Why BC won 

1. The PK. Not only did the PK hold BU to going 0/6, they really didn't give them many chances to get great shots.

2. Brian Billett. I love this guy. Two wins in two tough road environments to start his BC carrer. His 30 stops were the reason BC ran away with it.

3. Kerrian Millan was awful. It's amazing how a goalie can play so good one night and so bad the other. Millan was worse than Milner was yesterday. The goals he let in were just mind boggling.

4. The fourth line. I was worried how our fourth line would match up with theirs but ours clearly got the better of theirs on the weekend. Great games by Sit, Linell, and Smith.

5. All the defenseman had great games especially Dumoulin and Cross. Dumoulin had three assist and Cross had the game winning goal.

Problems 

Any time we beat them by that score I will never put any problems.

Player(s) of the game- Brian Billett and the whole fourth line.

Next game- Providence on Tuesday @ Conte.
