Game Day -- Terriers & Buckeyes in Manchester



The week between the Terrier's win in the Hockey East finals and their first NCAA game seemed to take forever, but it has finally arrived. BU plays Ohio State, a CCHA team it has matched up with just twice before, in the Northeast Regional in Manchester, N.H., with a scheduled 5:30 p.m. start.

From GoBU.com, we have game notes and links to gametracker, the audio Webcast on WWZN and the video Webcast on ESPN360. Also a photo gallery from Friday's practice at the Verizon Center. Additionally, there are Coach Parker's Media Day Comments (and transcript) and the Player Interviews from Media day. The game also airs on ESPN2. CHN offers its Tale of the Tape comparison of the teams.

Regional action got underway in the East and West with upsets dominating the action. Air Force withstood 43 shots to blank Michigan, Vermont eliminated ECAC champ Yale and Miami dispatched Denver. A fourth upset (that is, a lower seed winning) was just 40 seconds away when Minnesota-Duluth scored twice--including a goal with 1 second left in regulation--to tie Princeton and then went on to win in overtime. Recaps are on USCHO and College Hockey News.
