Goals and assists

by

A quick thought or two from the press box at the Xcel Energy Center (where the wireless is working much better for me on account of it being less crowded than it is down in the media workroom). I’ve said on many occasions that “Hobey Likes Goals” or “Hobey Loves Goals,” borrowing a turn of … Read more

A word with the last guy to put up “Ryan Miller numbers”

by

Anyone who’s been reading this blog over the past three seasons knows the familiar refrain that comes up whenever a goalie is thought to be in the mix for the Hobey. “Ryan Miller numbers.” .950 save percentage, 1.32 goals-against average. A tough standard to live up to. Dave LeNeveu had the GAA and then some … Read more

BC, Merrimack in battle to stay east in NCAAs

by

Boston College and Merrimack may be engaged in a three-way battle with New Hampshire for the Hockey East regular season title, but the Eagles and the Warriors are also engrained in a race that may send one of these two teams west when the NCAA field is announced.

The PairWise: Hockey East teams skating a thin line

by

Warning: before you begin to read this blog post, know that it might sound a bit elitist. And it should. Hockey East is home to the last three national champions. In the last 14 seasons, a Hockey East team has been in the NCAA title game in all but one season (we all remember the … Read more

Hockey East Week in Review: Nov. 30-Dec. 5

by

It was a weekend (well, week for some) of highs and lows for Hockey East teams with a few surprise outcomes along the way. We’ll start out with a mention of the most surprising results, in this author’s mind, of the weekend and that’s Boston College’s dominating sweep of Boston University. With BU giving a … Read more

BU, BC opener: Not what the doctor ordered

by

BOSTON – Chaotic. That was the only word that Boston College head coach Jerry York could use to sum up the third period of Friday’s opening game in a home-and-home series with archrival Boston University. For York and the Eagles, the fortunate thing was the game was long out of hand by the point that … Read more

Boston College: A Jekyll & Hyde season

by

Will the real Boston College men’s hockey team please step forward? Seriously. We’re almost at the holiday break, and the defending national champions, a team most people thought (including myself) that they might threaten Maine’s 42-1-2 record from 1993, seems to be caught in the middle of a Jekyll & Hyde performance. Good games are … Read more

2010-11 Hobey Baker Watch: Preview, Part I

by

Wow, is it the eve of college hockey season already? Apparently, yes, thanks to the crazy early series between Michigan and Mercyhurst. Not sure what’s up with that, but if I want to preview the Hobey Baker race, apparently, I’d best get to it. Generally, what I’ve done in the past is try to “cast” … Read more
