Men's Hockey Wins Wild One To Reach Frozen 4 (Story)

I believe this is my first ever appearance on this particular board. While EA is mostly bball and football specific, I couldn't not write something about that insane game today. Looking forward to following the rest of this run...

BC vs MI Tech 2 pm EST

Sounds like it is a hot team vs a hot goalie.

Blake Pietila (2.28 GAA, .920 SV%)

Pietila has the ability to win games for the Huskies when it looks like they are outmatched. Take last weekend’s CCHA title game in Bemidji. The Huskies were outshot by the Beavers 35-27 but aside from a first period Bemidji goal, the fifth-year senior stopped every other shot, including 17 in the third period alone, to carry the Huskies to their first-ever Mason Cup championship. If he’s on his game, he automatically gives the Huskies a chance to beat anybody, and he’s been on his game for most of the second half of the season as Tech has made its run to the NCAAs.


I am assuming our 4 first rounders will be a little more precise with their shots over 3 periods that what Pietila has faced, but I hope we don't come in cocky. Anything can happen with a hot goalie and Pietila's save % is about the same as Fowlers so he is no slack.

Team needs to focus and do what they are capable of and lets get the first one in the books. Go BC!

BOB recruiting

Really impressed by BOB's recruiting efforts so far. Namely, the sort of feedback from recruits upon receiving offers and/or visiting campus. Also he has been getting some highly rated kids on campus, and has seemingly been really well received locally with top recruits / coaches. There is a buzz and optimism around the program unlike any I have seen in following the program since the early 90s. I get that the importance of HS recruiting is now probably the third most important element of roster building behind keeping your top kids in the program and tapping into the portal to fill immediate needs, and NIL is now where the rubber meets the road, but still impressive what he has done so far.
