Hockey dominates Vermont again, headed to Garden

This is the BC Hockey we've been waiting on for a month. BC followed up Friday's decisive win over Vermont with another seven goal night Saturday. With the win, BC advances to the next round of the Hockey East Tournament at the Garden.

Now the question becomes, can they keep up this pace in the final few games of Hockey East tourney play? A lot can happen and these two wins help, but BC probably still needs to win out to make the NCAAs. But if they keep playing like this, next week will be a breeze.

Hockey opens post season the right way

The last time week checked in with the Men's Hockey team, they were in the middle of a losing streak. They couldn't generate any shots on goal and were on the outside of the NCAA Tournament. Friday night all those problems were gone. The team crushed Vermont in the opening game of the Hockey East Tournament.

BC now needs to follow up on the win, by beating Vermont again. The game will be at Conte again on Saturday night. Let's hope they keep it up and this is just the first of many postseason wins.

Our best performance to date, but there's still work to be done. See you back here tomorrow night. Same time. Same place. #BCEagles pic.twitter.com/SpNX01XKHi

BC ties Vermont again

Yesterday I wrote that BC needed another win Saturday against UVM. That didn't happen. Unfortunately the boys tied Catamonts. again.

This does not impact the Hockey East standings -- where BC remains the top seed. BC now has a series against Lowell before the Hockey East Tournament starts.

Good news, bad news for BC Hockey

After the past two weeks, BC needed a win. They didn't get one. They tied Vermont. However, it was one of those ties that felt like a loss since BC squandered a three goal lead.

The good news is that BC did clinch a bye for the first round of the Hockey East Tournament. But this will also be a different sort of Hockey East Tournament. Usually BC has some breathing room entering the postseason. Now -- according to many bracket watchers -- BC is on the bubble. BC needs to finish strong and hopefully get wins over UVM this weekend, and Lowell next weekend, plus a good Hockey East showing. I trust York. Let's hope the guys rally.

UVM upset Hockey and other links

BC's out of the Hockey East Tournament. UVM upset BC Sunday with a 1-0 win at Conte. Losing the Hockey East Tourney puts BC on the bubble, but the experts still think we're in.

Louisville completed their sweep of baseball on Sunday.

People are already profiling BC's pro prospects. This one took a look at Mihalik. BC's Pro Day is this Wednesday.

Hockey wins Game 1!

BC started the Hockey East Tournament the right way: with a win! They held on to beat Vermont 4-2. Game 2 is Saturday night.

Game one in the books….EAGLES WIN! See you tomorrow night for game two at Kelley Rink #WeAreBC pic.twitter.com/yZR1snKpIp
