Weekend Recap: BU brushes away Colgate

The BU men's hockey team killed a 5 on 3 powerplay early in their season opener and never looked back. BU got goals from Patrick Harper(x2), Nick Roberto(shorthanded), Clayton Keller, Tommy Kelly and sophomore assistant captain Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson. Freshman goalie Jake Oettinger was huge(literally and figuratively) in goal including a penalty shot save. The win is obviously a great start to the season especially in comparison to last year's opening loss at Union where the team had numerous defensive breakdowns. This BU team should win lots of games but the question has been  and will continue to be if they can bring it night in and night out since they are so young. This has never been an issue with a David Quinn coached team so I am not concerned that this will actually be an issue going forward. The team seems to be pretty set on blocking out the hype around them the best they can and so am I. Only game that matters/exists is Denver next weekend.
