BU Falls To the Lowly Providence Friars Again

Providence was awarded 12 power plays, converting on 3 of them to defeat the Terriers at Schneider Rink.  The officiating certainly seemed to be a factor, as for whatever reason, Providence got the benefit of the officials' judgment throughout the game.  It impacted the Terriers physically, and seemed to affect them mentally as well.  They looked like they were climbing up a mountain, playing not just against the Friars but also against the refs.

Perhaps the zebras thought they were playing for the team that happens to wear black and white as well.

The loss all but ensures that BU will have to win the Hockey East Tournament to make an appearance in the NCAA tournament.

Needless to say, this is an incredibly disappointing loss for the Terriers, who had just been so good over the past 12 games. 

We'll have more on this tough loss later, as well as thoughts on tomorrow night's rematch at Agganis.
