Cats are all over BU


 Vermont gets three first period goals and never look's back 
Just 4:22 into the game Vermont took the lead, when Chris McCarthy took a rister that looked to o in but actually hit where the cross bar and the post meet. Before Millan new what happened, a waiting Josh Burrows pushed it in and the Cats where off and running.

Later in the first Vermont would up their lead to two, as Brayden Irwin found the puck in the slot and made a great move on Millan, where he was able to pull the puck back with his forehand and then go to his back hand and beat the flopping BU goaltender.

BU would cut the lead to one, after Zach Cohen popped in a rebound, giving him his 12 goal of the season.

Vermont, though, had an answer, when Brain Roloff took a shot that Millan made a poor play on, resulting in a huge rebound. Tobias Nelson-Roos was there to put it in. 3-1 Vermont after one.
Vermont, through some more gas on the fire, when John Higgins through a shot on Millan that looked to be a good stop. Turns out that the puck was still lose, Brett Leonard poked Millans glove and the puck slid over the goal line.  

BU on the power play, found some life, as David Warsofsky scored cutting the lead to 4-2. This was one of only two shots that Rob Madore saw the whole period. Vermont tallied a total of 21 shot on Millan in the second frame alone.

Roloff, found some spare lighter fluid and through that onto, when he pulled off a wrap a round.
Vinny Saponari would net the third and final goal for BU. This goal also came on the power play.
Vermont would fine the back of the net two more times and one came on a five on three man advantage and the other was an empty net goal.

With the loss, BU falls back to 14-14-3 and in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Hockey East standings.
As you can tell Parker was no to impressed with his team's effort

“The focus, the speed, the attention to detail, the physical play from the team in black as opposed to the team in white was like night and day,” Boston University head coach Jack Parker said. “ We weren’t ready to play, we masked it at times during the course of the game but in general, they out-fought us for every puck.”



BU and Vermont will sake again Sunday after noon at 3:00. The game can be seen on ESPNU. Just letting every one know that this is the same time as the gold medal game, USA vs. Canada, if you did not know that is very, very sad!!!!!
