As if the No. 14 Boston University men’s hockey team needed extra motivation to win the opening round of the Beanpot.
Sure, there is the usual daunting challenge of playing in front of potentially 17,565 fans with city bragging rights for an entire year on the line.
This year, however, as happens once every three years, BU has the reigning Beanpot champion, reigning national champion, top-ranked team in the nation and obvious tournament favorite all rolled into one as its opening-round opponent. That foe also happens to be its hated rival: No. 1 Boston College.
The Terriers and Eagles will square off for the fourth time this season on Monday for a tentative 8 p.m. start at the TD Garden.
