Eagles get big win @ Fenway vs Huskies

Chris Venti was special in his first carrer start. 

Thanks to an absolutely outstanding performance from one of the hardest workers on this team (Chris Venti), BC was able to get a big win vs a Northeastern team that also really needed a win. I think the most credit for this win though should go to Coach York. Having the guts to go with Venti in for one of the biggest games of the year took a lot of toughness. I have to admit I thought that going with Chris could have been a little bit of a stretch but man did he prove me and many others wrong. The kid has really earned his way by keeping a good work ethic and showing the staff that he can go when needed. BC really came out flying in the first as they outshot the Huskies by a 13-3 margin. Chris Rawlings made a terrible play behind his own net that lead to a BC goal from Pat Mullane to put the Eagles up 1-0. NU came back really hard as they were able to take advantage of a fourth line that struggled most of the night to tie it up. I thought Chris Kreider really had a great game as he gave BC a 2-1 with 15 minutes to go. One thing that BC did tonight that they have struggled with is they held up very as the game went on. NU had their chances but BC really limited the "grade A" chances as the game went down to the last seconds. Awesome win for the team but a big weekend up in Orono next week for two against the Black Bears

Why BC Won

1. The PK. A shorthanded goal and holding the Huskies to 0/3 on the PP is very good.

2. Chris Venti. An amazing story, awesome for this kid to do this on this stage. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

3. I thought Chris Kreider really played well tonight. Hopefully this is the start of a big second half for him.

4. Good solid team defense. Limiting the NU chances late were huge

Problems

The fourth line needs to step up, staring to struggle

Player of the game- Come on. Chris Venti

Next Up- @ Maine for a weekend series on Friday and Saturday

More coming tomorrow
