Gerbe Named National Player of the Month for March/April

Boston College junior forward Nathan Gerbe, who led the Eagles to the third national championship in school history, has been named the Hockey Commissioners’ Association National Division I Player of the Month for the March/April period.

Gerbe, a 5-foot-5, 165-pound native of Oxford, Mich., produced 12 goals and 22 points during a nine-game winning streak that culminated with a 4-1 win over Notre Dame in the Frozen Four fi nal at Denver. The Buffalo Sabres’ fi fth-round selection in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft earn Most Valuable Player honors at the Hockey East Tournament, was named to the NCAA Northeast Regional All-Tournament team and earned Frozen Four Most Valuable Player honors. He produced four goals and four assists at the Frozen Four, had two goals and three points in wins over Miami and Minnesota in the fi rst two games of the NCAA Tournament at Worcester, Mass., and had a goal and four assists in victories over Vermont and New Hampshire at the Hockey East Tournament in Boston.

Gerbe, a ‘Hat Trick Finalist’ for the Hobey Baker Award, fired seven goals in the NCAA Tournament to tie three other players (the last being Boston University’s Tony Amonte in 1990) for the most goals in a single tournament. He’s also the first player to score five goals at the Frozen Four since Dave Silk of Boston University in 1977.

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

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.

Getting to Know Gerbe, Part II

Inside College Hockey (#1 college hockey resource on the web!) did another profile on Nate, entitled the Gerbe '08: the hobey dilemma.

lots of great insights from Nate, his teammates, opposing players, and even League Commissioner, Joe Bertagna:

"Believe me, I believe whether it's players or coaches I've always been a stickler for people doing what's expected of them. I think it would be a shame if someone took it that far [to punish Gerbe in the Hobey Baker voting]. I really don't believe there's a body of evidence to make that a factor in the voting, just a couple incidents that happened. It seems like a long time ago to me, and he paid the price for it. To me, he's been a great player since, and I haven't had an incident, or anything anybody has asked me to look at or anything."
