Looking forward to Monday

A quick recap of  BU's Beanpot domination


The first ever Beanpot game was played on December 26 1952 and it saw BU take down Northeastern 4-1. The Terriers the next night fell to Harvard in the final, 7-4. Bu would not make the final again till 1957 and they would not win their first title until the next year.

Since BU won in 1958 they have dominated the tournament winning 29 championships including last year, when they beat Northeastern 5-2. Winning 29 out of the total 58 Beanpots, BU has won over half the tournaments ever played. The team with the second most titles is Boston College, with 14.

With the exception of 1994, BU won every Beanpot tournament played in the 1990's. The streak continued until 2001 when they lost to BC 5-3. In the 2000's BU has only failed to reach the final once, 2008. They would fall to BC in the semi's, but this time it was in overtime.

Tomorrow night BU will play Northeastern in semi final number two at 8:00 (if there is no overtime). The first game is BC and Harvard ant it will be played at 5:30.

BU rolls into Beanpot

Ross Guadet's 2 goals propelled BU to a
6-2 win 

 Bonino hits 100 points


Coming from coach Parker, BU had a good week of practice and very good attitude. The week ended with an "unbelievably great" practice on friday and a great win over #15 Umass.

Sophomore, Ross Gaudet, missed his whole freshman year. But this year he has been all over the score sheet and last night was no exception. Gaudet scored the first goal of the game with about three minutes to go in the first. Nick Bonino from his knees found Eric Gryba at the point. Gryba one timed the pass,  Umass goalie Paul Dainton stopped but the puck found Gaudet's stick and the he found the back of the net with the puck.

The last five minutes of the second saw the light get lit four times (3 by BU and 1 by Umass). The first came when, Nick Bonino won a faceoff back to Gaudet who the hit both post and the cross-bar with his shot. The puck some how crossed the goal line and BU had a 2-0 lead. A minute later Max Nicastro found Colby Cohen for a one timer. Cohen drilled it past Dainton.

Umass would get one back 36 seconds later, when Brain Keane jammed home a rebound from Justin Braun shot.

66 seconds later BU scored what parker called, the biggest goal of the game. Colby Cohen had the puck at the point and then threaded the needle [with a pass] to Vinny Saponari. Saponari got it on the left post and shoved it in to the net.

In the third, Umass would score their final goal when Martin Nolet jammed home a rebound.

The game was over after David Warsofsky set up Nicastro for a slapper through traffic. Dainton never saw it, and BU had a 5-2 lead.

With less than a minute left BU scored a short handed goal to make it 6-2. Give Luke Popko credit for the goal and the assist goes to Nick Bonino who on this play locked up his 100th point as a Terrier

It might not seam like it, but BU goaltender Kieran Millan did in fact face a lot of shots. Millan made 39 saves on 41 shots. Parker said after the game: "We gave up a lot of shots but not a lot of grade ‘A’ shots.”


Bu will play Northeastern next in the Beanpot semi-final, monday night. Game time 8:00 (following the first game BC and Harvard)

Game Day Preview: Umass @ BU

Tonight is the final meeting between the two teams and it could shape the rest of the season. BU currently sits in tie for sixth in the Hockey East standing, with Vermont. While Umass is tied for second with BC. If the Terriers win and the season ended after the game the Minutemen and Terriers would play in the Hockey East playoffs.

Look for Millan (photo) to get the start in net for BU. Millan is coming off what some would say his best start of the season, after he beat BC in ot last friday night.

Notes On The Minutemen 
Umass on the season is 15-9-0. On Sunday Vermont upended the Minutemen, snapping their four game win streak. The streak was the longest of there season. Umass offers two Hobey Backer (the Heisman of college hockey) candidates in James Marcou and Justin Braun.

The Last Time The Met...
was back on the the 2nd of January. BU exploded for seven goal, the most the have scored in game all season, to down Umass 7-3.

45 and Counting

Joubert named to BU Hall of Fame


The captain of the 1995 National Championship winning BU hockey team  Jacques Joubert has been selected for induction to the BU Athletics Hall of Fame. Joubert is the 45th member to join the HOF and he is joining some greats such as Chris Drury, Mike Eruzione, Jack Parker.

Joubert player three years of great hockey with BU and did not play four because he had transferred from Princeton College, where he spent one year. The final goal the Joubert ever scored in a BU uniform, was the game winning goal of the 1995 national championship game in which BU beat Maine 6-2.

Streak snapped, streak continues

BU's two game win streak snapped but UNH's 11 game unbeaten streak continues.


Saturday night, UNH stopped would may prove to be the Terrier's best shot at gaining home ice in the Hockey East playoffs, after they were done tooling with BU in the second period.


UNH had a shot to go up 1-0 just 35 seconds in to the game when paul Thompson had a breakaway that Grant Rollheiser stopped. Later in the period the WildCats would take the lead when Mike Borisenok pushed in a rebound.


As you can tell the Terriers did not play well for most of the start of the game, but as the first period went on BU did get better.


But once the second period started BU looked like they did for much of the first, Only this time UNH banged home two goals. Damon Kipp scored the firs through a screen and BobBy Butler scored the third on one that looked like Rollhesier should have had. 


In the the third BU got on the score sheet when Chris Connolly found a rebound out in front then drilled the post but the puck did bounce into the net.


With only two minutes left in the game UNH just killed off a power play and the got one of their own. Mike Sislo scored on the power play giving us the final score of 4-1.


Parker blamed most of the poor preformance on the confidence of the team after Friday's overtime win against BC.

“It’s hard to comment on this game because I don’t want to take away from how well New Hampshire played,” Parker said. “I thought they played very well. But I thought we absolutely stunk. I just saw [former NHL player and NESN color commentator] Craig Janney, who said ‘Hey, you laid an egg tonight, but you had a good game last night.’

“That’s exactly what we did. We laid an egg tonight. It’s obvious to me with this team that leadership is lacking. Our juniors and seniors had horrible nights tonight in general, and I’m worried about our freshmen and sophomores thinking this is how you’re supposed to play. I thought we got a pathetic emotional effort tonight; our team was not ready to play.” -USCHO

“It’s a sad statement that my team cannot get mentally ready to play a hockey game,” Parker said. “They’re so easily satisfied, or it just isn’t that important to them. We don’t give a damn; that’s what it seems like. With so many guys, their give-a-[expletive] level is way down.” -USCHO

Game Day Preview: UNH @ BU

This is also the final time these two teams will meat this regular season. The first meating UNH owned the Terriers It only took a day for BU to turn it around and tie the Wildcats the next night.

Notes on the Wildcats
UNH is currently in first in the Hockey East standing with 21 points. They have also not lost a game since November 11 to Umass. Tonight the Terrier will look to stay hot and melt the UNH unbeaten streak.

The Last time they met...
was back on November 21 at Agganis Arena. the Terriers found them selfs down two nothing in this one but came back and tied the game 3-3.

Terriers take another OT thriller

Cohen's bomb ends it all 

During most of the game the Michael Jackson song Thriller, was playing in my head. And thats exactly what the game was. For most of the game the teams traded leads and that headed in to the overtime frame.

The Terriers drew first blood on the power play in the first period. David Warsofsky had to first break up an Eagles shorthanded bid before him and Alex Chiasson had a two on one. Chiasson made a perfect pas to Warsofsky that he roofed.

The Eagles got even on their own power play when Cam Atkinson found Ben Smith's between the legs pas in the slot. Atkinson then fired it past Millan to tie the game.

BC then took their only lead of the night after Eric Gryba was released from the penalty box, BC forward Pat Mullane threw a shot on net. There were a bunch of bodies in front and Chis Kreider found it an scored one of his two goals on the night.

The Terriers would tie the game at two before the end of the period on probably the best goal of the season. Vinny Saponari (photo) broke in on the left side and took a regular shot that BC backup-goalie Parker Milner stopped. The rebound popped up in the air,  Vinny Saponari then  thought that he was David Ortiz and hit the puck out of mid-air, Baseball stile, and in to the net.

In the second BU regained the lead when BC defender Malcolm Lyes lost the puck in the slot. Suddenly hot Wade Megan pick up the up and roofed it on Milner.

Later in the second added to their lead on the power play. Nick Bonino won the faceoff in to the conner. There he got the puck back and made a nifty move to the front of the net and slid the puck five-hole on Milner, giving BU a 4-2 lead.

In the Third it was all Eagles. The final five minute were hell on earth for this writer. BC came within one just 2:13 in to the third when Chris Kreider found the back of then for the second time. BC then tied the game with about five minutes to go. Pat Mullane scored the goal after getting a great pas from Steven Whitney.

With 39 seconds left BC forward Cam Atkinson was called for tripping. the Terriers could not do any thing in the 30 seconds of the third period that was remaining but oh could they ever in over time. The Terriers where able to set up Colby Cohen for a slapper and that pin-balled off a bunch of players in front before finding the back of the net, like they always say "the puck had eyes".

“That’s something that Colby does really well,” said Bonino of what he feels would have been an open-net opportunity had the puck not changed directions. “He’ll see me there. We made eye contact and he tried to get it to me.”- USCHO

The Terrier return to action tomorrow night against UNH. Game time 7:00

Photo of Colby Cohen (25) finding Vinny Saponari's back handed pass in front of the net.


In the second, the Terriers looked slow and tired. They looked like a team that had just played the night before (which they did). Luckily for Merrimack, they had Friday night off so the could rest.


The Warriors took full advantage of the slow Terrier play and just 32 seconds into the into the period, Stephane Da Costa found the back of the net. Da Costa got a perfect pass from Chris Barton that made Rolleiser go down and Da Costa roofed it.

Merrimack would yet again tie the game in the second. Skating four on four, Joe Cucci tipped in a Chris Barton shot at 10:59.


The third period is where the Terrier exploded on offense.

“We didn’t play any offense in the first two periods except on the power play,” Bonino said. “It took us much too long to get adjusted to their forecheck.”- USCHO

Ten minutes into the third frame the Terriers took the lead for the last time on the night. Freshman and last week's Hockey East Player of the week, Wade Megan through a puck on net that Joe Pereira nailed home.

After the game was over Parker was not happy.

“We’ve got a long way to go to be poised again and to be thorough again,” Parker said. “I thought that we had turned the corner after we got from the break. So it was a step backward, but not a costly step backward.” -USCHO

The Gold Standard

Last night Team USA proved voters wrong. Yes, they proved voters wrong. They did this when they beat Canada in overtime of the World Jr. Championship game. How did they proved voters wrong you might ask? Well you all voted on a Poll of the Week for Canada to beat the USA in the WJC. In another poll you all said that That the US would flat out lose the WJC. Well your wrong

Team USA found them down one nothing in the first, after Canada scored one a power play. This was Canada's only lead of the game.

The USA tied the game on a Chris Kreider wrist shot, that found net above Team Canada's goalie. Team USA would take the lead when Jordan Schroeder found the net, short side.

The Teams traded goals for most of the game untill the third period. The US had a 5-3 lead with less then four minutes to go in the game. Team Canada, pulled a BU like comeback, in the final minutes to force overtime.

In overtime John Carlson, and the US had a two on one, going in to the Canada zone. Instead of passing it, Carlson ripped it five hole and the US won the gold

In the semis Canada beat Switzerland 6-1 on Sunday.

Terriers blow away Umass

Colby Cohen and Zack Cohen both score two goals 

(Photo is of the Terriers celebrating Alex Chiasson's goal in the first period.) 

Tonight, BU looked like the team that we all expected to see this year, by destroying the Minutemen 7-3. Kieran Millan played a solid game in net while the offense lit up the score sheet.

BU drew first blood in the first, when they put their new look power play to work. The Terriers stationed one man behind the net and one at the point. The other three are down low waiting to tip in shots. That's what happened when Colby Cohen took a shot that Umass goalie Paul Dainton stopped, and Nick Bonino jammed home.


Five minutes later, Umass tied the game, when Casey Wellman tipped in a pass from T.J. Syner.

In the final minute of the first period, BU regained the lead as Minuteman killer Alex Chiasson, blasted a slap shot through Zach Cohen's screen. This was Chiasson's third goal against Umass.

The Terriers took a two goal lead in the second. Colby Cohen made a great pass to an open Zach Cohen behind the Umass net. Zach Cohen then scored after he attempted a wraparound. The puck then banked off Dainton, and in.

The Terriers did run into some penalty trouble in the second period. For the whole game, BU took 12 penalties and killed off nine of them. Umass scored all three of their goals on the power play.

“I thought the referees called it real, real tight for half of the game, the half where they were watching us,”- Jack Parker USCHO.com

Umass made it a one goal game when Casey Wellman's one timer from, Justin Braun, found the back of the net on a five on three advantage.

BU regained their two goal lead, with only seconds to spare. Colby Cohen took one of his signature slap shots with 8.5 seconds left in the period. Paul Dainton was too slow with his glove and Colby scored his first goal of the game.  

In the third BU broke the game open, when Zach Cohen scored his second goal of the game. Kevin Shattenkirk gave Corey Trivino a pass that he one timed on net. Cohen tipped in the shot to give the Terriers a 4-2 lead.

(photo is of Zach Cohen (11) tipping in Corey Trivino's (not seen) shot. Alex Chiasson has the best seat in the house, as he sees the whole play unfold in front of him).


Umass scored their third and final power play goal of the night, when Will Oipped in a Justin Braun pass, on the left post.

Colby Cohen scored on yet an other one timer to give the Terriers their three goal lead back.

“I don’t think anybody’s as effective,” Parker said when asked of Cohen’s ability to one-time the puck, though he did that. “Chris Drury could let it rip. A lot of guys can shoot it hard, a lot of guys can shoot one-timers, but his puck just seems to go in the net. He has his head up, and he’s going just off the pipe and in. He’s as good as they get as far as that aspect of the game.” USCHO

Umass tried there luck, when they pulled their goalie to give them a six on three advantage. BU did this in the Cornell game and it payed off. This time though, for Umass it did not end well. Eric Gryda picked up a loose puck behind the goal line and tried to ice the puck. Instead the puck went in and BU won the game 7-3


Next week BU takes on Boston College in the Winter Classic, take two, at Fenway park. Game time 7:30
