Episode 3 of
Inside BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s
conversations with Head Coach David Quinn, junior
forward Cason Hohmann and former BU All-American and NHLer Shawn McEachern (photo).
McEachern
is sixth on BU’s all-time points list with 186 (79g, 107a) and a junior rang up
82 points, second most ever for a Terrier, en route to first-team All-American
honors and leading BU to the 1991 Hockey East championship (video) and the NCAA
championship game. The following season, the speedster from Waltham
skated for the U.S. in the 1992 Olympic games, then joined the Pittsburgh
Penguins for their run to the 1992 Stanley Cup title. In 1996, he played for the gold-medal U.S. squad in the World Cup of Hockey
McEachern
played professionally through the 2005-06 season, finishing up with the
hometown Bruins, and had a 256-323-579 scoring line in 911 NHL games. A 2008 inductee to the BU Athletics Hall of Fame, he’s now head coach of The Rivers School.
Looking
back
Matt
Nieto and John McCarthy, co-captain of the 2008-09 squad, returned
to Agganis Arena yesterday as the Shark’s practiced at BU’s home ice,
preparing for tonight’s matchup with the Bruins.
Nick
Bonino converted a goal-mouth pass for his fourth goal of the season, giving
Anaheim a 1-0 lead, but the Ducks fell to Toronto, 4-2 on Phil
Kessel’s hat trick
Brandon
Yip, McCarthy's linemate at BU, also made another cross-country flight as the forward was recalled to Phoenix from AHL Portland for the second time this season.
Former
Terrier netminder Kieran Millan was named CHL Goalie of the
Week following a pair of Denver Cutthroat victories in which he stopped 72
of 75 shots (.960 save percentage). The second win, 3-2
over Tulsa, featured an 18-round shootout with Millan stopping
16 of 18 chances. Now in his second season with Denver, the Colorado Avalanche
draft choice won the goalie of the week award twice last year.
Also
in the CHL, Millan’s goaltending partner for four seasons at BU, Grant
Rollheiser dished a shutout in his first start of the season as Bramption
blanked Arizona,
4-0. Rollheiser stopped all 31 Sundog shots.
