BU take 3/4 from Lil bro, lose Keller for 'a while'

The BU Terriers took 3 out of a possible 4 points last weekend in a home and home with their little brother/Northeastern. BU played well offensively both nights but played more disciplined and defensively responsible on Saturday night which lead to a 3-0 shutout win after a 4-4 tie on Friday night at Matthews Arena. Jordan Greenway, who scored the go ahead goal before taking a misconduct penalty while celebrating was benched for the first period of Saturday's night game by Coach Quinn who appeared to want to send a message that any type of celebrating penalty will not be tolerated.

Overall, it was a good weekend for the Terriers who got their first points in league play and continued to show flashes of dominance which will hopefully turn into stretches of dominance and then eventually complete game dominance by March and April. The biggest story out of the weekend was on the injury front as Clayton Keller suffered a knee injury has been termed out 'long term' by coach Quinn. This is obviously bad news for BU as Keller is their second leading scorer and plays on its top line with Jordan Greenway and Patrick Harper. It is being rumored that it is a MCL injury that will keep Keller out weeks to months. This would put Keller out until the beginning of the second semester but I think this injury can actually help BU long term or I'm just trying to convince myself of that. So here comes the spin zone (brought to you by Evan Rodrigues Inc)

Michigan and UMD advance to play for National title...guess who called this two months ago


Minnesota Duluth beat Notre Dame 4-3 in a thriller tonight in the first Frozen Four Game with the Connolly brothers and defenseman Justin Faulk who had 3 assists.

Michigan beat powerhouse North Dakota 2-0 in the latter game to move onto their 12th NCAA championship game appearance. They were lead by goalie Sean Hunwick who made 40 saves in the effort to keep the Fighting Sioux off the scoreboard all night including a series of big saves in a 1-0 game in the third. An empty net goal sealed it for the Wolverines after that.

The two face off for the championship Saturday night. Who could have predicted such upsets and drama in this tournament? No number one seeds advancing..no two seeds advancing. Oh wait I did on Febuary 21st. No biggie just calling the championship game 45 days before it happens. Vegas should hire me quick before they go broke when I actually have money to gamble with. Oh yeah called 3 out of the 4 Frozen Four contenders too. Bow to me bitches ...bow to me.
