I couldn't agree more. Northeastern held BU to very few shots on net (I
think 17 in total) and the announcers comment on BU's lack of offense
not NU's great defense. O'connell breaks in on NU's goaltender and
"misses an opportunity to tie it up", not the the goaltender made a
great save. I would say that it was mostly the play by play guy, not Cap
Raeder. If they mentioned one more time that NU had not won a game at BU
for ten years one more time I am not sure what I would have done. With
just seconds left in the game I was waiting for him to steal a line from
Al Michaels "Do you believe in miracles..." It was no mracle, NU was the
better team.
 
Come on Fox just call the game!!!!
