In another case of being careful about what you wish for, the BU hockey team lost to Providence 4-1 last night in the opening round of the Hockey East playoffs. This despite putting up over 50 shots on goal. Providence scored on two of their first three shots.
As you can imagine, it was not a game for the highlight reel.
And as for Northeastern and UMass-Lowell, the two teams no one wanted to play? NU was drummed out of the tournament by UNH, losing two games by a combined score of 10-1. Lowell, meanwhile, went up to Maine and got spanked in the first game 7-2.
UMass-Amherst almost did us a favor, but their 2-0 lead became a 2-2 tie to end regulation, and BC took it in OT. Damn.
On the plus side, the BU women's hoops team is making another improbable run at the America East title. After winning a play-in game to be the tournament's 8th seed, they knocked off top seed Maine, and beat Vermont last night to make the finals, where they'll play host Hartford. If the weather were going to be better, I'd have half a mind to sell my hockey tickets and drive down for the hoops.

Heh, Mark. You doing a March madness pool again this year?
If I do it'll be free. The logistics of a money pool are a little tough given the distances involved and the small sums.
