BC Downs NU, 2-0

Steve and Joe Whitney celebrate an Eagles goal.

Feeling pretty good about myself tonight. Why? Because both BC and NU have lived up to my expectations so far. Northeastern has dropped two in a row to HockeyEast opponents and Boston College is undefeated.

Overall, I'm not too upset with the Northeastern performance. Shots were dead even at 35 and BC didn't net a goal until the third period. Steve Whitney put up the game-winning goal against Chris Rawlings, who turned aside all but two shots. It was assisted by Joe Whitney and Jimmy Hayes. Brian Gibbons added an empty net tally to seal the deal, assisted by Phillip Samuelsson.

Why I'm happy: NU put up a good fight. They threw a lot of shots on net and Rawlings played very well. Also, Gibbons, Whitney, and Whitney were all in my write-up about BC. Glad to see them putting some truth behind my predictions.

Why I'm upset: Vrolyk and Tuckerman didn't even suit up. If I'm going to be a valuable part of the UB staff, then Greg Cronin needs to help me out. To add to this, Northeastern dropped their opener in Providence. To be fair though, it was also a close game.
