BU Terriers face Northeastern in decisive game 3 of HE QF


Our Boston University Terriers take the ice tonight in the decisive game 3 of the Hockey East QF series with Northeastern Huskies. Northeastern took game 1 by a 4-2 score and BU took game 2 by a 5-2 margin. Tonight's game 3 is the only game 3 of the HE QF series as BC, Merrihack, and UNH all swept the road teams to punch their ticket for the semis at the Garden next weekend. Tonight's game should be another great one between these two as it will be the fifth game in the last two weekends and the sides having split the first four meetings. Kieran Millan will get the start for BU while NU is still to announce a goalie for the game tonight. Regular starter Chris Rawlings tends to choke in big games(7 goals allowed in the Beanpot Final) and gave up 3 goals on six shots in game 2 before freshman Clay Witt relieved him. Witt was in goal for NU's win last Saturday at the Greek and has had more success but I don't believe Cronin has the balls to to start him tonight with the season riding on this. Should be a great battle and stay tuned for postgame.

P.S. according to someone on Wikipedia, NU already won 4-3 so I guess BU shouldn't even both playing tonight right? Or hopefully they read this and come out for the kill for all sixty minutes. Let's go BU!
