2015-2016 College Hockey (non UND Hockey)

Check out this embellishment. See if anyone remember this clown?

BC and BU going to OT.

[SiouxFanatic]

So I'm confused. How is the OT between BC and BU, 20 minutes? I thought OT was always 5 minutes?

Or is it allowed to be different for tournaments like the Beanpot?

Not that it matters since BC wins it in under 5 minutes lol.

[Godsmack]

I think because this is a non conference game, they can do 20 min OT.

[runaroundsioux]

It's a tournament. They'll do 20 minute overtimes til the cows come home. Someone has to win.

[cberkas]

The Beanpot is pretty much the BC/BU invitational, as in Northeastern and Harvard are invited to watch BC and BU play for the Beanpot

That still doesn't answer the issue it brings up. Why would they get a 20 minute OT to decide a game when all other non conference games are 5 minute OTs? If I had to guess, I'd guess only a deciding goal in the first 5 minutes would be recorded as a win in the PWR and everything after 5 would be a tie. It is an interesting question tho so wondering if anyone can confirm.

The NSCC title game does 20 minute overtimes until there is a winner.

My buddy who's a Northeastern fan jokingly refers to the Beanpot third place game as, "The Northeastern Invitational."

Yep....you're correct....and has nothing to do with it being a nonconference game. It counts as a win in the PWR, just as a win in the conference tournaments counts as a win in the PWR....UNLESS its decided by a shootout.( ex. third place game of NCHC tournament)

But if you just talk about it long enough, someone will find it for you.

Because IT'S A TOURNAMENT.( BC and BU are in the same conference)

But that TOURNAMENT game has national implications.  Why do they have 80 minutes to decide a game when every other game only has 65? I understand a tournament needs to keep playing to decide a winner but should it have national implications beyond what other games get? I feel like I'm not getting my point across.

What ever happened to Kevin Roy?  That kid has been a human highlight reel since he was 12 years old.  He's shredded every league he's ever played in and now he has 8 pts in 16 games as a senior.  Super strange.

Are you sure it doesn't officially go down as a tie after 65?

I'm not... that was my assumption originally too.  However, a few people on here seemed to have implied that because it's a tournament or because it's Non-Conference that they get 80 minutes.

The problem of playing at Northeastern with no one as talented on your team.

No different than that U.S. soccer player who was a prodigy like at age 15 (Freddie Adue, the supposed next Pele)  yet never became anything special at the pro level as an adult.  Same as with many teenage female pro tennis players of years past.  Reach their highest level/burn out at an early age.  Thought Michelle Wie (sp?) was going to be in that group too although she's been quite successful as a pro (dominating though, no).

I don't know about that, they've been avg at best since he was a freshman and that has never stopped him. He's avg half a point per game. That's really bad.

huh? I guess I'm not following. He's a senior this year....hes dominated his freshman, soph, and junior years. Not sure your example is apples to apples.

He did have that guy who transferred to Minnesota on his team.

One thing never changes, of course.   The Team Formerly Known as Sioux right there in the top 4.
