The Eagles take on Providence Friday night in a Beanpot tune-up at Conte Forum. This is the second time BC has played the Friars this month, and the third time they have played in the last 30 or so days. So to say these guys know each other would be an understatement. What should you know about the Friars? They are currently in last in Hockey East. They have won only 9 games all year. Matt Bergland is still their top scorer, and Alex Beaudry is one of the streakiest goalies in the league not named Milan. Still, these guys did something BC has not been able to do much of this year: beat BU. The keys to Friday's game:
- Get alot of shots on Beaudry.
- Score the first goal, then score the second
- DON'T TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE GAS! FINISH!
- Worry about the Beanpot Saturday morning.
BC does these 4 things, I can't see why they lose.
Prediction: BC 5 PC 2Some links:
- BC is currently # 14 in the
USCHO Poll and the
INCH poll. They are also 12 in PWR, putting them in the field of 16, but a few losses away from being on the bubble.
- The Globe
started the Beanpot talk early. Apparently BC is the favorite. We'll see.
This weekend is huge for the Eagles' postseason chances. They can't afford to fall any further behind UNH. Hopefully the horrible games (and officiating) ended last weekend.
