It doesn't surprise me at all that BC finished fourth, remember that this is
not the same BC team you've become accustomed to seeing in recent years.  When
they lost to BG, I expected them to lose to PC in the consolation.  PC has
done well against BC lately, and also PC is a much better team this season.
This tourney had one of the tougher all-around fields.
 
Nice to see Rob Gaudreau made the All-Tourney Team as a defenseman.
 
Ceglarski never wears a suit on the bench, he always comes in that BC warmup
jacket ever since I can remember.  Even in the Beanpot.  The other BC coaches
are fighting for their jobs so they want to look good. :-)  (BTW latest news
I hear is that the ball has swung back to associate coach Steve Cedorchuk as
far as being in the running to succeed Ceglarski.)
 
Many teams dress three goalies for a game in addition to 18 skaters -
this is allowed by the NC$$ (Rule 2-3-a).  Are you sure they didn't also dress
18 skaters?  If they did only go with 17, it wouldn't have been because of the
number of goalies; injuries may have played a role.
