Here is my post on the legacies of Johnny and Matty and my favorite memories of their BC years.

I’m devastated by this news. Johnny was my idol when I was younger. Matty was a hard working player who made his own mark at BC. I’m praying for their parents Guy and Jane, their sisters Kristen and Katie, and Johnny’s young family. RIP to the GOAT of BC Hockey.

Gutted. Congrats to Denver on an absolute hell of a game. Matt Davis with one of the best goaltending performances I've seen. Holding BC to zero goals is so impressive.
Hope BC's guys can keep their heads up. They've got a lot to be proud of.

Holding that team to zero goals is pretty damn impressive. BC was great in transition but the story of the game was the team defense and goaltending. Fowler was unreal. Cutter was outstanding against McGroarty's line. Had to figure Smith and Perreault would bounce back. One more.

Not sure I can remember a season where the leading point-getter in the country got essentially zero traction for the Hobey. Smith has the most points in college hockey since 15/16. 1.77 PPG vs Blake's 1.50. I get the East/West issue but at some point, the numbers have to matter.

Big news- BC has landed a commitment from William Moore of the NTDP. Moore is arguably the top uncommitted prospect on the market and is projected to be a high first round pick in the 2025 draft. Moore recorded 43 points in 50 games this year and led the U17 team in goals (23).

There's nothing better than beating BU. Nothing. Great last couple of shifts by BC, especially after losing the face off. Unreal games from some of their freshmen (loved Fortescue tonight). Gasseau also had some great moments. Awesome awesome night to be an Eagle. Win tomorrow.

Just seeing the Hobey news. I thought it was a coin flip before ESPN hinted at the results last night. Cutter has had one of the best individual seasons in BC history and has put up with a lot of crap since the trade. He's got a lot to be proud of this year, Hobey or not.

BC received another huge commitment today as Youngstown (USHL) goalie Jacob Fowler signed his NLI today. Some consider Fowler to be the best goalie in the USHL- he picked BC over Michigan.

Important update here. We had discussed this in our article last week but now seems like it is a done deal. I think he will be the first player to go from prep to BC since Wood in 2016.
Just talked to 2024 NHL prospect Dean Letourneau at the combine in Buffalo ...
Potential first-rounder was originally slated to play for USHL Sioux Falls in 2024-25, then Boston College in '25-26. Change of plans. With Will Smith turning pro, Letourneau's off to BC in the fall.

6-1 win. Very impressed with Michigan Tech (and their fans) - they had BC on the ropes for 40 minutes and if it wasn't for Fowler, things could have gone downhill. As for BC, what a third- third goal just turned the tide. They'll play the winner of QU/Wisco on Sunday. Post later.

Too many errors tonight- turnovers on third and fourth BU goals did them in, as did some bad penalties. Loved the fight back in the end, but it wasn't enough. They'll bounce back, but that was a real disappointment. Credit BU. What a bummer.

BC has landed its fourth commit of the day and it's another big one in defenseman Cameron Chartrand. Neutral Zone ranks Chartrand as its 12th best 08 prospect overall, 4th among defensemen (4.5 stars). Chartrand is a Montreal native who was drafted by Cedar Rapids (USHL). 1/2

I will have a post later tonight but another awesome pickup for BC. I had one (non-BC affiliated) scout compare BC's class of Wathier, Croskery, and Chartrand to the Matheson, McCoshen, and Santini group of a decade ago (Matheson was a year ahead of the others but point stands).

Thoughts-

- Fowler made it look easy all night. Bad break on the goal.
- liked the way BC played in their own end. Thought they had good structure and mostly avoided turnovers.
- how about the PK?
Great win.

Ryan Leonard on Will Smith and re-evaluating:
"No. I'm myself. He's him. You want the best for him, and it's not about individuals. It's about the team, and I want to be a part of the team that wins Boston College another national championship. Not really ready to leave yet."

I think one takeaway is how well Powell has developed over his four years. He got kind of stuck behind Helleson, St. Ivany, and Warren at times but I'd say he's one of the more underrated BC d men I've seen. He does a lot for them and will be hard to replace.
1-0 win. They get the Hockey East regular season title but that was not a good game. Fowler was fantastic and they closed it down late but other than that it was shaky. Nice goal by Powell. UNH played well all weekend- they'll be a tough out. Post later.

Sometimes it seems like Carvel makes more excuses after a loss than I do after six straight three putts. What the hell is he talking about?
Carvel: Half of [BC's] kids have played 10-12 games in this building. Our team hasn't. It's a big stage. We didn't want it to be an excuse but we didn't have the experience playing here. We didn't get a chance to skate here yesterday. But those are excuses.

BC also got a commitment from Casey Mutryn, the top 2008 in MA. Mutryn’s family ties to BC are well-documented but he is a high-end forward in his own right. Played for Sebs last year and will move to the NTDP this season. Definitely one of the best 08 forwards in the country.

We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks but I'd be pretty shocked if Smith is anywhere but SJ next year. Sharks have been pursuing him since the season ended and this news can only help their cause. I think Smith was already leaning towards signing.
San Jose wins the draft lottery...Chicago second and Anaheim third.

Perreault now has 34 points in 21 games.
Ken Hodge has the BC freshman record with 64 points in 41 games.
Record probably won't be broken, but something to watch.
Other notable freshman years-
Gionta- 62 pt/41 games
Reasoner- 45/34
Leetch (as a D)- 47/37
Kobasew- 49/43
6-2 final. Good stuff.
Anyone have plans next weekend?
