1) How did we go from challenging for the NCAA title every year to this (most likely not makinthe tournament)? I don't get it.
2) how are teams like umass Lowell better than us? Who the fuck wants to go there! BU I can kind of understand.
3) is this a one year aberration or are we on a downward trend? The thought of us having 0 good revenue sports is appalling; we always had Bc hockey to fall back on.
1) we've made the tournament what 11 of last 13 years? i don't think any other program can touch that. they were the first team out.
in the last decade, bc has been able to keep a vast majority of high first rounders and future nhl'ers at least 3 years. here's who is missing from this team that could've been on their jr year or younger: sonny milano, zach sanford, miles wood, alex tuch, bracco, hanifin. that's a roster that with even half of those players is a top 3 team.
2) they have one of the best coaches in college hockey
3) they've made the ff every even year since 2004
starting in '07 (a decade) here are the #s of FF's teams have made:
BC: 6
BU: 2
NoDak: 6
Minn: 2
Denver: 1
wisconsin: 1
