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!

I respect your blog man. Looks like you've been keeping it up pretty well. It seems that Gerbe has brought a pretty broken team (without Cory and Brian) together to the Frozen Four once again! I couldn't be more thrilled, especially after last year's disappointment. Looks like I picked a bad semester to study in Australia! Now if only I could find a way to get espn2 down here.... Anyways, go Nate! Or as we hockey fans would say, Gerbe SMASH!
