Boston College men’s hockey kept their season alive with a ruthless, 14-4 aggregate thrashing of Vermont this weekend in the Hockey East quarterfinals. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that it’s still an uphill climb for BC to qualify for the NCAA tournament - and in order to do so, they absolutely must win in Friday night’s conference semifinal. Hold on to your butts, because there are only two possible opponents for Friday night at TD Garden: BU or Notre Dame.
The only third game in the Hockey East quarterfinals takes place tonight, between 1-seed UMass-Lowell and 10-seed UNH.
