I thought they would as well - and that would have been a travesty.

Boy, wasn't that the truth! Can you imagine if BU would have promptly come back down the ice and tied it?

Going back a ways, you have the New York Titans who re-branded as the Jets and the Houston Colt .45's who became the Astros. The Wizards are obviously more recent than those and the New Orleans Hornets to Pelicans and Charlotte Bobcats to Hornets (version 2.0) are both "new."

BU...upset in the national championship game. Bruins...eliminated from playoff contention on the last day of the regular season. Red Sox...steamrolled by the Yankees on Sunday night. What a sports weekend for Boston fans!

That gaffe made it 3-3 with about 8 or 9 minutes left in the game. The entire BU team went into panic mode after that goal. I don't blame O'Connor as much as I blame the horrible D on the game-winning goal. Real quality own-zone coverage there.

MafiaBoy cracked the top 75. ?

Hot rumor has it that Brian Bonin, Chris Harrington, Dan Woog, Grant Potulny, and Robb Stauber have been invited to the 2015-2016 training camp for a try-out.

I didn't post that to rip on Andy Kollar - just wanted to show how we laugh at the the silly mistakes made by our opponents and push our own team's gaffes to the dark cavern of our brains - along with the thoughts of being a fan of the Penguins or Bruins.

Fixed post to conform to thread rules.

I know we as Sioux fans love to razz Frazee about that one, but Andy Kollar had his own "whoops!" moment courtesy of a 160-170 foot puck courtesy of Jordan Leopold, I believe...

*******Feel bad for O'Connor? F him. He goes down alongside Bill Buckner as the biggest goats in Boston sports history. What a fvking idiot. Two games in a row no less. That is the worst goal I've ever seen given up on any level in my 35 years of watching hockey. He should take out a full page ad tomorrow in the Globe and Herald and apologize to the fans who had to shell out scalper level prices to make the game thanks to inept athletic department. Quinn gets some blame for clearly not getting these guys to match PC's intensity (and kudos to Providence). It was a Parker-esque performance, and I don't mean that in a good way.***** Unbelievable. Anyone with a heart would tell you that that one moment in 1986 absolutely CRUSHED Bill Buckner. After Boston finally won the World Series, he was invited back to Fenway Park to throw out the first pitch at a game. Even then he was nervous about what kind of reception he would get from the fans. When the crowd erupted into cheers and gave Bill a standing ovation as he made his way from left field to the pitcher's mound, you could see how emotional he was - the man had tears running down his face. An incredible moment in sports history. As far as paragraph two, well, it's good to know other program have delusional fans. Quinn took a team that won 10 games last season and brought them to within a goal of winning an NCAA title. Plus he threw in a shot at Jack Parker, too. What a piece of work.

Good grief. Not funny in the least.

ESPN even giving airplay to the NCAA goofball handing off the national chanpionship trophy. Hello NOT Top 10 Plays of the Week!

Who said that? David Quinn, head coach of the Prov, er, excuse me, Boston University Friars?

I'm sorry to report that Goon's wife has taken him to the hospital on a 48 hour hold. He was found in his garage earlier this morning, having smeared red and white paint all over himself, mumbling over and over "now I'm gonna watch myself dry...now I'm gonna watch myself dry..." I'm praying for you, Goon. You can get thru this. I know I did after my own breakdown after game 7 of the SCF in 2009.

"We?" I didn't realize the Jets had called you up, darell! ?

Not in any game at any level, let alone an NCAA championship game, have I ever seen a team score an empty net goal (Miami, 2009) and then go on to give up two goals in the final minute (totie the score), and eventually lose in OT. Last night's game just evens up the score in improbable things happening to BU in national championship games. 1 amazing (2009), 1 crushing (2015). I don't venture over to USCHO anymore - what are some of the comments?

Why do you think I created the non-Penguins and non-Bruins NHL thread?

It wasn't Hak's order to the team not to touch the Broadmoor Trophy and I've never heard him spit out the tired "unfinished business" line...

Introducing your 2015 NCAA hockey champions, the Bost, er, Providence College Terriers!

That's kind of nit-picking, isn't it?

I hope you watched the 3-4 players that Boston's "A" greeted in the handshake line...THAT'S how you act after the game, win or lose, and despite the antics that may have happened in it. Not by dragging a guy out and kicking his a**.

What an idiot!
