A little over twelve hours later and I’m still coming to grips with what happened yesterday. Yes, the Bruins lost and will miss the playoffs for the first time in almost 10 years. But honestly, that is not what as me feeling this way. Yesterday, the Boston University Terriers lost a heartbreaker in the finals […]
If you read this blog with any regularity you know that Pants and I love us some Boston University (#ScarletAndWhiteForLife) – we are proud alumnae after all – and for the last few years, I’ve been a BU Hockey season ticket holder. (Section 112, represent). While the focus of this blog is primarily the NHL, I like […]
For those of you who may not know, Pants and I are proud alumnae of Boston University, Class of We’ll-Never-Tell-For-Fear-Of-Revealing-Our-True-Ages. BU is a college hockey powerhouse and consistently produces NHL players. Right now there are a plethora of former Terriers representing in the big show – Nick Bonino, Alex Chiasson, Kevin Shattenkirk, Colin Wilson, and […]
This year, Boston University has a corps of nine freshman looking to make their mark on the Terriers and Hockey East. The five forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders come to Comm Ave. with very high expectations. No doubt the story of the season will be the two freshman goaltenders – Matt O’Connor and Sean […]
For weeks now, I’ve been wishing and hoping and praying (and sticking pins in my Gary Bettman voodoo doll) that this ridiculous lockout would come to an end. With no foreseeable resolution in sight, I have to focus my hockey attention elsewhere…for the sake of my own mental health and for those around me. Luckily, Sunday was […]
With a NHL lockout looming, we have a feeling that we’re going to be watching a lot more college hockey this season. I’ve been a BU season ticket holder for years now, so I’ve always been a big fan of the college game. There are so many great reasons to watch college hockey (especially BU), […]
Last night, I went to the Boston University/Merrimack hockey game. There I was, just minding my own business, on my way to get a beer. And this happened…. I never did get that beer… P.S. We have excellent taste in hats. P.P.S. That jacket is fierce. P.P.P.S. BU won! Office dance party!
3 years ago, the hockey world lost a legend. Jack Falla wasn’t just a great writer. He was a father. A grandfather. A husband. A teacher. A friend. He was an inspiration to many sports and hockey journalists (including me!), so it is today that we remember his life, his talent, and his humor. Check out his […]
Chuck and I may have had a class with Chris Drury at BU our freshman year. No one remembers for sure. We obviously learned a lot in “Rocks for Jocks” or whatever we were studying, and that knowledge comes in handy today when identifying the sediment strata of the landscape in pictures of Jonathan Toews […]
Sorry, that’s so cheesy. It’s official, the Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg [link]. This is the second time an NHL team will leave Atlanta for Canada – but they’re really broken up this time. They’re not getting back together. Unless they do. The only way this really affects us is that Chuck and I […]
For the first and second Mondays of February, the four Boston* college hockey teams – Harvard, Northeastern, Boston College, and Boston University – take part in the Beanpot Tournament. This special hockey tournament has grown to be one of the most unique and anticipated college sporting events in the country. Winning the silver pot of Boston baked beans is a […]
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Foxy Friday and even longer since it featured a Boston University Terrier. So, folks, for my 1st FF post of 2011, I introduce you to… Colin Wilson Aside from the obvious physical attributes (6’1″, 214 lbs) and hockey pedigree (Dad was an NHLer for 12 season), Colin […]
