The weekend went about mediocre, as BC split its home and home series with UMass Lowell. The Riverhawks took advantage of a post-Beanpot hangover from the Eagles to completely dominate in a 4-1 win Friday night at Tsongas Center, while BC got a last-second goal from Chris Kreider to win at home 2-1 on Saturday.
Friday night's game was ugly for BC as yet again Samuelsson turnovers lead to opposition goals. To top it all off, BC spent most of the night in the penalty box, which UMass Lowell took advantage of. One thing that can be taken away from this whole series, however, is that BC better hope Lowell doesn't show up on their schedule as the playoffs begin, because these guys seriously have our number.
Likes:
- The play of the younger guys, including Milner. The freshmen are starting to come along, especially Chris Kreider. You will see other BC blog guys blowing Kreider up big time, much of which is because he belongs to their beloved Rangers. I will tell you this: It is an absolute shame that the Bruins let this local kid slip through their fingers. Lets just hope he stays at the Heights for a few more seasons.
- Penalty kills. This ties in with a dislike, but when the Eagles get in the box, they tend to keep the other guys off the scoreboard. Now, if they only didnt have to do it as much as they are.....
- Carter Hutton is a very good goaltender. I hope people don't think BC letdown in this series. Lowell is just good enough to hang with the Eagles on a nightly basis. Watch out for these guys down the road in Hockey East.
Dislikes:
- Penalties! These guys are killing themselves with undisciplined play. Friday was bad, but Saturday it finally got to Jerry as he blew up on Shea after he got called for boarding with 2 minutes left in a tie game.
Friday: UML 4 BC 1 Box
Saturday: BC 2 UML 1 Box
