After losing to BU in overtime in the 2007 Beanpot final, BC went on an unholy tear, not losing again until the NCAA championship game.
2008, however, was a different story entirely. After beating Harvard in the 2008 Beanpot championship game, BC struggled mightily, going 1-5-1 in their next seven games. After a loss to Northeastern on Senior Night, BC's season looked to be on the rocks. A win at Matthews Arena in the season finale allowed BC to limp in to the postseason as the #3 seed in Hockey East. What happened over the next month was legendary.
