SUMMARY: What a difference from last October, when BU went 0-4-1. This October they go 4-1-0. I think Red Berenson summarized the game by saying, "It was a good game for their team and not a good game for our team. We have to learn from it. Welcome to Boston."
THE GOOD: Boston University continues to play well over non –conference opponents. In fact, all of Hockey East is 18-5-2 against non-conference teams this year. The breakdown is as follows:
3-1-0 vs. ECAC
7-2-2 vs. CCHA
5-1-0 vs. WCHA
1-1-0 vs. CHA
2-0-0 vs. AHA
In addition, when the non-conference games are home games, Hockey East teams are 10-0-1. This is an impressive start to Hockey East’s 25th year Anniversary. The question is will Hockey East be able to maintain this play throughout the season. Who knows but it will be fun to watch.
THE BAD: Michigan. They were out played the whole game last night; not sure what happened but their defensive injuries must have come back to haunt them. Their schedule was not favorable, coming into Agganis after playing on Thursday night, but even on Thursday, Michigan struggled in their win against Niagara. I think the bottom line was BU wanted pay back for last year’s drubbing by Michigan and BU got it.
THE UGLY: With 21.5 seconds remaining, BU's Vinny Saponari and Michigan's Brian Lebler received game disqualifications for fighting. Vinny, you will receive the pleasure of watching the next game against Vermont from the stands …..enough said on this.

Wow, notice how Red doesn't like to compliment the other teams that beat his team very often.
