Let’s make this recap a little more personal than your typical goal-by-goal recap.
I live in southern Connecticut, about a 2.5 hour drive from Boston, and over my many years of supporting both the BC men’s and women’s hockey teams I’ve made the 5 hour round-trip drive more times than I can count. In that time I’ve seen plenty of heartbreaking losses, and after them all I invariably find myself regretting my life choices as I simmer in my angst on the interminable midnight drive through the northeast CT hills on I-84.
Wednesday night’s heartbreaking 3-2 loss in double overtime to Boston University in the Hockey East semifinals is the first time I can remember getting home and not regretting making the trip for a loss.
