There have been a few notable exceptions - 2006, 2009, 2015 - but generally speaking, almost every time Boston College hockey has rolled in to Agganis Arena since the building’s construction, they’ve been the “better” team on paper.
Things are a little bit different this year. Boston University is the overwhelming favorite in every poll to win Hockey East this season, and after a few early bumps in the road, they seem to be finding their stride. The Terriers have won four straight and are 6-1-1 in their last 8, boosting them in to a tie for 4th in the PairWise Rankings.
