Hockey: #10 Michigan beats #4 BC 3-1
Edit: Since this became the game thread, Michigan just beat #4 BC 3-1 at home. Gigantic win this early for such a young team. Your outlook on the season should change accordingly
I thought I'd post some links for previews and such for the BC-Michigan game today as this is likely Michigan's biggest non-conference home game since...#7 BC lost to #5 Michigan 3-2 in 2005?
Also, even with all the TV coverage this year, somehow this game is relegated to Comcast channel 9e6 (or something) and that only. How the BTN, CBS Sports, NBCSN, and Fox Sports all managed to pass on this is beyond me.
From Western College Hockey SBN College Hockey:
Escalating ticket prices and a resurgent basketball program have taken a big bite out of the vaunted atmosphere at Yost Arena in recent years, but with the excitement of a new season and the buzz of a nationally-known opponent in the building, it should be rocking tonight, and could put a very young Boston College team on their heels.
From Maize & Brew:
The game being at Yost means Michigan will come out hard, but if you can't beat Waterloo, BC is a different eagle all together. BC 5, Michigan 2.
Based on this quote it looks BCInterruption will have something up today that they worked with MGoBlog on. Edit: It's up. You may not care not that the game has started but a good read
From the Daily
Personally, I don't feel too great about this game. BC is likely loaded and we are reloading. Like M&B, I envision a 5-2 type game as well. If you're free tonight, find a ticket and go be loud at Yost. Goal horn be damned

Excitement was high and they looked really good even despite some hectic moments in the second period.

Huge win! BIGTENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
now I'm worried they have a poor turn around at RIT saturday

After being embarrassed opening night last year by RIT, I doubt it. This is a bad RIT team that was 15-18-5 including an 11-12-4 record in the Atlantic.
They got beat tonight by Colgate, 4-1.

so I'll tell you here. Your recap mentioned RIT was coming to Yost Saturday, but the game is at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester (which is not RIT's normal rink fyi)

I didn't notice that. As for the registration, the email should go through now. I was wondering why I wasn't getting any spam.
