BC Wins

Congratulations go out to Boston College, who won their third ever hockey national championship tonight, and the third national championship in school history(Do they have other sports at BC?).

Nathan Gerbe was far and away the best player of the weekend, and ultimately was too much for Notre Dame to handle. It's a disappointing end for the Irish, but it was a historic tournament run for them, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them back in this position in the very near future.

I agree it was a goal. No question. Still, BC was by light years the best team at the Frozen 4. Congrats to BC. I'm a Sioux fan, and I'm still trying to figure out why we were so unprepared. I guess no ones's preparation stopped Michael Jordan from doing his thing, and maybe this is sort of the same thing. Preparation won't stop it. We had to hope for a different flow to the game or a lucky bounce that obviously never happened.

Congrats to BC.

It's nice to see a team win that plays a fast offensive-minded game, rather than the boring, defensive, trap the champions of the past four seasons all utilized.

as much as I can't stand ND, it is simply ludicrous to disallow that goal on review. If it had been disallowed live, that's one thing; all IR showed was that he made a movement (almost undetectable live)to stop the puck and put it in a position to be shot. Then D prevented him from touching it with stick; that's nutty interpretation of the rule. If I am BC, disallowing that goal cheapens the win.

If Notre Dame's second goal had been ruled good, it doesn't mean they were coming back to win. BC got their fourth goal a minute later, plus the Irish power play was 0-for-8 and Pearce just wasn't as good in goal as Muse. BC didn't take the "goal" back, the officials did - and officials, replay or otherwise, will always be brutal (they made some lousy calls against the Eagles as well). There's nothing cheap about the win.
