Well, I was referring to double digits in *goals* scored, not *points*.
According to Sean's web page, prior to this past weekend BU had only six
players in double digits for *goals* scored, compared to Lowell's nine.
Given the pasting that BU delivered to UMass-Amherst over the weekend, it's
highly possible that additional forwards went into double digits, especially
considering how much the third and four lines must have played on Saturday.
But I've deleted those posts and won't have time to fetch them from the
archives right now.
