Turnovers
plagued the Terriers last night as they were thumped by #8 BC, 5-1 at a sold
out Agganis Arena. The Eagles were led by Johnny Gaudreau, who tallied a goal
and two assists.
The
visitors dominated the opening period, heavily outshooting BU and getting a
pair of goals from Gaudreau and Austin Cangelosi in a two-and-a-half minute
span. BU halved the lead on a second-period power play when Robbie Baillargeon’s
wrist shot glanced off Nick Roberto and past BC’s Thatcher Demko. But Bill
Arnold’s goal following a Gaudreau rush restored the two-goal margin.
Two
more Eagle goals within a minute midway through the third put the game out of
reach.
Matt
O’Connor stopped 35 shots, while Demko turned away 22.

Looking
ahead
BU
received its second verbal for 2015 this week. Speedy Chicago Mission
defenseman Vasili Kolias, who was invited to last Spring’s NTDP tryout camp, was #8 on OverTheBoard’s list
of top uncommitted players.
Kolias
was USHR’s top-rated defenseman at last summer’s USA Hockey Select 16
tournament and earned a spot on the U.S. Select U17 team that played in the
Five Nation’s Tournament in Switzerland this past August.
USHR: Vas Kolias (Chicago Mission U16/Black) 5-9/150 — Kolias, a top defenseman who we have been raving about for the last couple of years, is still somehow uncommitted. The positive on him is that he brings an offensive dimension that is incredibly hard to find. An effortless skater, he plays a very loose, stress-free game and is able to bring the puck up ice beautifully and create offense. The negative on him is that he plays a loose, care-free game which isn’t exactly what you want on the ice when protecting a one or two goal lead. Indiana Ice (USHL) draft pick. Made the Five Nations team.
