I would like to take a moment and recognize something great. The Boston College Eagles have won the NCAA Hockey Championship. They dominated the entire season and post season (BC killed 41 of 43 power plays in the postseason).
Here is a quote from the Boston College All-American Nathan Gerbe who was denied the Hobey Baker Award (although he led the nation in scoring with 35 goals and 32 assists), "Who needs the Hobey Baker? I've got the national championship". I like this. I really like this. An athelete that understands everything is about the final goal - Championship.
There was controversy with goal in the third period with 5 to play when a ND player attempted to score with his skate - the goal was disallowed. BC scored again 35 seconds later. It wouldn't have mattered.
Here is a snapshot of their achievements:
