Well, I didn't make it up to Durham for Friday's game against BU, but I do
have a box score, which is probably even better.

A good comeback win for UNH. It pulled them into a short-lived 4th place
tie in Hockey East (Providence beat Lowell Saturday to take over 4th).
There are two really good things about this game: it was a big, needed
Hockey East win for UNH, and the Wildcats got back to outshooting their
opponents, something that hadn't happened during their bad month of
January.
Other Hockey East stuff: I agree with Mike about Northeastern in the
Beanpot. The Maine-Northeastern game was on NESN Friday night, and the
Huskies played right with Maine for about half the game. Maine's superior
firepower eventually took its toll (9-3, Black Bears), but I think
Northeastern is playing better (they also only lost 4-3 to BU last week).
BC shouldn't take them lightly.
