I'll still never understand how Miami blew that game. Oxford, OH should be used as a nuclear testing ground.
AdamBC {l Wrote}:We weren't half the team BU was last year. We were hoping to sneak into the post season with a strong showing in HE. I was excited when we held off BU for so long, but was not surprised we lost the game. That said, all the other teams that had the firepower to defeat BU last year lost to the likes of UAB and Alaska-Fairbanks in the first couple rounds.
AdamBC {l Wrote}:Exactly, how is it that our trips to the title game we play all the darn 1 seeds it seems... BU gets into the frozen four and hits only 4 seeds on their way to a title. It just stinks.

Probably because we'd played 2 of the other 1 seeds during the regular season and beaten them by a combined score of 11-3, as well as beating 2 #2 seeds by a combined total of 16-6 with a 3-0-2 record, not to mention the home game we had to play against UNH in Manchester to get to DC, something you've done once or twice. But if you really think ND who gets pummeled by a CHA team, Duluth or Yale would've presented much more of a challenge than Miami (who happens to be a favorite for preseason #1 this year), then go ahead and think that.

The fact that you played them in the regular season has no bearing on the fact that you didn't have to play them again in the championship game.

If you'd really like to argue that a team who ended their season 28-2-4 in the most difficult conference in the country had an easy road to the title, I'd love to have that argument with you.

And to the OP on this topic..when you're a 1 seed yourself, you obviously can't play a one seed for the first two rounds. In your recent championship game trips, you were a 2,2,3 seed thus you're very likely to run into the 1 seed.

buconvict {l Wrote}:It's pretty clear that you didn't watch the game. If you had, you'd have noticed that at least 80% of the crowd was cheering for UNH. Line changes and white jerseys aside, it was very much like a road game.

I didn't watch the game, but I don't have any empathy for the Eurotrash that didn't take the time or effort to drive a fucking hour.
talon {l Wrote}:does fan support negate the fact that BU got the last line change in that game?
talon {l Wrote}:I'm not trying to change the argument. I'm just trying to get a straight answer out of you. how was BU at a disadvantage in that game? Did the extra fans in the stands rooting for the other team have a stronger effect than BU's ability to counteract UNH's line changes during stoppages of play?
buconvict {l Wrote}:I said that as far as NCAA tournys go, they did, although they faced a stiff challenge when they played a neutral site game against the University of New Hampshire in the state of New Hampshire.
buconvict {l Wrote}:Additionally, the UNH game was a road game
buconvict {l Wrote}:So by your logic, BC played Boise at home? It was technically a neutral site, and BC was listed as the home team. The MPC Computers Bowl has no affiliation to Boise State you know.
buconvict {l Wrote}:My answers have been very straight. I believe that crowds have a big impact on the mentality of 18-22 year old kids, and that impact is amplified in a Regional Final. Nobody is claiming that the final line changes aren't important, because they are. However, I think in the 3rd period of a 1-1 game, the crowd has a greater impact than the ability to match lines.
You're free to disagree of course. This argument started when someone said that BU did not have an easy road to the the title. I said that as far as NCAA tournys go, they did, although they faced a stiff challenge when they played a neutral site game against the University of New Hampshire in the state of New Hampshire.
