Remember when I said it was unlikely that Northeastern was going to take all 4 points from UMass this weekend? Yeah.

But for what could be the first time all season, the BU men's hockey team showed some heart. Down a goal late when they heard of NU's win, they rallied to tie UNH and then won the game in OT. Thus preserving their streak of making the Hockey East playoffs every year since the legaue's inception (BC and PC being the other teams in that group). BU does indeed take on BC in the first round. BC got swept by Maine, which means we'll either get a reeling team or a very angry team.

I'm betting on the latter.

Apparently the Icedogs used up all the BU athletic good karma, as the men's team lost their opening round America East tournament game to Stony Brook. Stony Brook! No NCAAs for the Terriers. Look forward to them participating in the race for 66th place in the NIT.

And on top of it all, my seat at the movies last night was defective, with some pointy bit putting a hole in my pants. That's the sort of thing that would only happen to me.

(The movie we saw was Girl with a Pearl Earring, which was OK. Not worth a pair of pants, though. We saw Miracle on Friday night, which I enjoyed more but was also not worth a pair of pants.)
