From the FreeP: BU readies for Beanpot opener

By Kevin Dillon/DFP Staff

If the Boston University men’s hockey team is going to make it to the Beanpot Tournament final, it is going to need to do something it has not done in two tries this season — beat No. 2 Boston College.

The Eagles (19-4-3, 12-1-1 Hockey East) have outscored the Terriers (8-14-3, 3-8-2 Hockey East) 11-5 this season, and have won each of the last four Beanpots — beating the Terriers in overtime two of the last three tournaments. Even with the tournament favorite in front of them, though, BU coach David Quinn said he has confidence that his team can make it through his team’s rival.

“It can absolutely happen,” Quinn said. “It was a hockey game last time we played them, relative to the first time we played them where I thought we were in fear. We played afraid. I don’t think we are going to play afraid tomorrow night.”
