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.

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:
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."

Gerbe Overtime Game Winner Sends BU Into Beanpot Consolation
In what is becoming a rather routine event this season, Nathan Gerbe again propelled BC past BU on Monday night, this time in the first round of the 56th annual Beanpot. Gerbe would net both the game tying and game winning goals for the Eagles, who remain undefeated against BU on the season (3-0-1); and return to the championship game for the 5th time in six years.
Gerbe's latest "hobey moment" came at 7:15 of the first overtime when he took a brilliant no look pass from freshman Brian Gibbons and deposited it behind BU goaltender, Brett Bennett, for his 21st goal of the year. This marked the first time since 1981 that the Eagles defeated the Terriers in a Beanpot Semifinal.
Gerbe's epic goal set off a euphoric celebration (seen below).
"I've always wanted to do that since I was a little kid - a headfirst slide," said Gerbe, "Watching on TV, you always see everyone in the playoffs do that with OT goals. I thought it would be fun. It was the first dive in my career."
After falling behind 1-0 and 3-2, BC rallied for overtime early in the third period on a Gerbe powerplay goal at the 1:02 mark, with Colin Wilson in the box, serving a delay of game penalty for Brett Bennett.
BC continued to take it to the Terriers; and Andrew Orpik scored the apparent game winner at 5:19 of the third, only to see the goal waved off after video review confirmed that Brian Gibbons was in the crease. Gibbons (pictured below) was checked hard by Dan McGoff into netminder Brett Bennet, but referees ruled that Gibbons had voluntarily skated into the crease prior to making contact with the BU defenseman.
The Eagles weathered the storm of the annual goal waived off in the Beanpot, and forced overtime for the second year in a row. This time Gerbe made sure the result was different.
The Eagles have now won seven of their last 10 against BU.
