2010 National Champs

For the second time in three years the Boston College Eagles are bringing the Men's Division 1 hockey trophy back to Chestnut Hill. The BC Eagles were utterly dominate against two of the best teams in the country outscoring their opponents 12-1 on their way to their 4th National Championship. On Thursday night the Eagles throttled Miami (OH) the consensus number 1 team in country to the tune of 7-1. The defeat was Miami's 4th loss in 5 years to BC in the NCAA tournament and well deserved after Miami's hostoric choke job last year against Sucks to BU. In the final game last year Miami blew a 2 goal lead with minutes to play before letting in a fluke goal in overtime. Due to this performane the River Hawks should never be allowed to even sniff a NCAA Championship.

In the title game against Wisconsin BC proved that flannel, lumberjacks, and women with mustaches are no match for the speed and quickness of the Eagles. The game was tight through the first two periods with the Eagles maintaining a one goal lead until Cam Atkinson and friends blew the game open early in the third period. This win capped an unbelievable finish to BC's season with the team rolling off a 12-0-1 in its last 13 games. During this stretch the Eagles trailed for a combined 54 seconds of game time. A remarkable achievement that we probably won't witness ever again.

Once again we sent our crack anlayst Be Nasty to chronicle the Frozen Four and he provided us with these pictures taken with his work authorized blackberry.
