Hockey East Beating Itself Up in Stretch Drive

By Mike ⋅ February 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With two weeks left in Hockey East play, nothing much is settled. This weekend did not help to provide much clarity either as three of the five pairings were splits and the lone sweep was an “upset”, further jamming the schools in the standings. New Hampshire and Boston College have separated themselves from the pack [...]

By Mike ⋅ January 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The seasons of the Terriers and Eagles are on opposite trajectories now. BU had a very tough start, but is rebounding lately and has now beaten their arch-rival in the last two meetings.

Eagles Still Top Rated Hockey East Team at Number 11

By Mike ⋅ January 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston College was two for two this weekend and remains the top rated Hockey East representative in the latest USCHO.com Division I Men’s Hockey Poll. However, at 11, the conference still lacks a Top 10 team, but, like last week, the league is dominating the bottom half of the poll. After BC at 11, UMass [...]

Frozen Fenway, BU-BC and a Much Needed Party

By Fudge ⋅ January 11, 2010 ⋅ One comment

It takes a lot to impress me. Very rarely do I walk out of a movie, a concert, a social gathering or sporting event shaking my head in pleasurable disbelief. Not to say I don’t enjoy any of these things, because I often do. It’s just I don’t get blown away very often. I’m much [...]

Eagles, Terriers Heading in Opposite Directions Leading into Fenway Matchup

By Mike ⋅ January 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

BC and BU have been on opposite trajectories all season as the Terriers have struggled and BC became among the hottest teams in the country.

College Hockey Gearing Up for Holiday Tournaments

By Mike ⋅ December 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

There is no poll this week as there was very limited action on the ice. Vermont beat Dartmouth in the only game featuring a Hockey East team, one of only three overall (and one of those was exhibition). There will not be another poll until the first week of January after teams wrap up their [...]

Engineers Overpower Terriers

By Matt Goisman ⋅ December 12, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The RPI Engineers and the BU Terriers faced off Friday night. It was a battle of the bottom of the barrel, as both teams were second to last in their conferences. BU put up a good fight, but in the end too many mistakes an an inability to score during 5-on-5 play cost them the match, [...]

By Mike ⋅ December 1, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Hockey East and ECAC schools renewed some old rivalries this weekend in what turned out to be an excellent showing by the HEA teams.
