Previewing That Other School.

Well here it is, my favorite weekend of the year without a doubt. Terrier Week. The weekend starts off with a big time home game for the Eagles on Friday. The game is what I like to call "the ultimate revenge game". BU dominated BC on Nov 13th here at Conte but expect a little different result this time around. I believe the win @ Yale really gave this team the confidence it needed coming into this week. Last game, BU played the best game they could possibly play and their goaltender (who is really the most overrated goalie in hockey) played his best game in over two years. Throw in the fact that BC played it's worst game of the season and Parker Milner had his worst outing of the campaign so obviously BU rolled. But not this game, not tomorrow. I know for a fact someone took a picture of BU saluting their fans on our ice. Not only is that classless it is insulting. I know the BC players will play their absolute heart out and do everything they can to demolish these guys because they can't stand seeing them salute their fans on our ice. When BC plays BU, it's not what team is better, it's what team wants it more. Last time BU wanted it more, last year BC wanted it more (BC won all four meetings :). Both teams have the talent to get it done so it's just a matter of getting pumped up and giving it your all.

Keys for the Eagles 

1. Get off to a good start. BU scored twenty second into the last contest. BC needs to score the first goal to get the crowd really into the game.

2. Get more grade A chances. One of the reason BC got killed last game is they didn't get any great chances on Millan. A shot from the point is an easy save for any D1 goalie. Get sots from up close, Millan tends to fumble it.

3. BC Must convert chances. Last time out the PP went 0/8 while BU's went 2/5. That was the difference, they converted, we didn't.

4. Stay out of the box. Their PP as of late has been fantastic but they lost Connolly so we will see if that has an effect on the game.


Players to watch out for.

Alex Chiasson (5 G, 7 A). Deadly bomb from the point

Adam Clendening (1 G, 7 A) In my opinion one of the most dangerous defenseman in the league.

Matt Nieto (8 G, 7 A) Leads the team in goals.

Major Terrier out- BU captain Chris Connolly, who is on their top line, is out with a shoulder injury according to the BU blogs.

Last time out- BU won 5-0 on Nov 13th. BU leads the all time series 126-113-17.

Prediction- Payback time. I think this is the weekend BC shines. BC 5-4.

I will have my lineup tomorrow. Be sure to check Twitter and I will reveal who will be in net.
