The New York Times: recap

►To date, Millan has posted the best winning percentage in the nation at .891. He’s also set a new BU record for most wins in a single season at 27.

►When Jason Lawrence’s game-winning goal was knocked in by UNH’s Jerry Pollastrone, more than a few BU fans were recalling the 2003 Hockey East Championship game. One night after the Terriers eliminated BC in double-overtime, 6-5, BU and UNH went to overtime at 0-0 when a Wildcat centering pass glanced of BU d-man Ryan Whitney’s and past Sean Fields into the Terrier net.

► Lawrence's game-winner was his eighth of the season, which is just shy of 25% of BU's 33 wins. He's second in the nation in game-winning goals.

►So which movie title better sums up freshman netminder Kieran Millan? The media was calling him “Cool Hand Luke” after the Hockey East Tournament. But how about “Road Warrior”? Millan is undefeated (11-0-2) in 13 games played away from Agganis Arena this season. His only two losses were on home ice.

►Puck luck off the ice
With the top seed going into the NCAAs, BU should have faced #16 in the first round of the regionals, but because the NCAA avoids intra-conference games in the first round, the Terriers instead played #15 Ohio State. And Notre Dame, the #2 seed, played—and lost—to the 16th seed, Bemidji State, the tournament’s Cinderella team.

►At the NCAA Frozen Four, BU will--for the fourth time this year--meet Vermont in the late game, beginning at 8:30. Bemidji State and Miami face off at 5:00 p.m.
