Former Terrier injured in team bus accident

Ex-Terrier Ryan Weston, a 2008 graduate, was one of several Albany River Rats injured when their team bus flipped on the Mass Turnpike early Thursday morning following an AHL game against Lowell. According to his father, Ryan "suffered separated shoulders, cuts, bumps and bruises and was released from the hospital."

While the Terriers keep their focus on this weekend's critical home-and-home series with first-place Northeastern, BU fans have the luxury of diverting themselves with down-the-road matters like where BU will play in the NCAA quarterfinals and whether one of the Terriers will be a Hobey Baker Award finalist or winner.

"The Terriers' lead over the next few teams is so significant, it would take a major tanking to miss out on the No. 1 overall seed. The bigger question for the Terriers is, where will they wind up? Both eastern regionals are fairly close -- Manchester, N.H., and Bridgeport, Conn., though Manchester is significantly closer, relatively speaking." More
