Gerbe's 2 Goals, Assist Send Eagles to 3rd Straight Frozen Four

The Eagles are shipping up to Denver thanks to a Joe Whitney overtime game winner in the Northeast regional championship against University of Miami (Ohio). Whitney's 10th goal of the year came at 12:12 of the first overtime and gave BC a 4-3 win, capping a furious comeback and sending Eagle fans into frozen four euphoria once again. The trip will be their 3rd straight, and 8th in the past 11 years.

The Eagles had trailed 2-0 with under 4 minutes to play in the 2nd period before a 3 goal outburst gave them the lead in just 1:58 - including a game tying marker by Hobey Baker finalist Nathan Gerbe. However, a talented Redhawks team would not go away quietly and sent the game into overtime on a third period tally from captain, Ryan Jones.



A day earlier, The Eagles defeated Minnesota in the regional Semifinal by a score of 5-2, improving Jerry York's NCAA record to 8-0 in first round games. The win was also #800 for Coach York. Congrats!

3 Assists Propel Gerbe Lead Eagles into HE championship

Friday March 21: Nate Gerbe provided 3 assists, and was all over the ice, as the BC eagles defeated the UNH wildcats 5-4 in triple overtime to advance to the Hockey East Championship game.

Early in the first, Gerbe would undress Kevin Kapstad and turn a 1 on 2 into a breakaway, only to be stoned by HE POTY, Kevin Regan; making matters worse, UNH would capitalize moments later on a power play goal to go up 1-0. The Wildcats would go on to build a 4-1 lead over halfway through the game before Gerbe went to work. The eagles knotted the game on goals by Joe Whitney, Brian Gibbons, and Dan Bertram before Benn Ferriero would win it in triple overtime.

BC jumps on Gerbe Bandwagon

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. BC has finally launched its Gerbe for Hobey Campaign

Saturday, March 15, 2008

Gerbe Nets 3 Goals as BC Sweeps Providence

After a long hiatus, the Gerbe for Hobey bandwagon is running again after Gerbe scores 3 goals against Providence College in a 2 game sweep of the Hockey East quarter final series. The scoring surge, now at 5 goals in 5 games, has put Nate back to 2nd in the nation in points.

Gerbe's one tally on Saturday night came via the rare penalty shot. Our friend Nate dazzled the crowd with a ridiculous spin-o-rama to put the Eagles up 4-0; they would go on to win 5-1.

The Eagles win the series, convincingly, with a pair of 5-1 wins and await a TBD opponent for Friday night's semifinal matchup.
