...February 11, 1980, and Boston College was less than four minutes from their first 'Pot in four years. The Eagles were nursing a one-goal lead, and goalie O'Connor was holding the fort against intense Northeastern pressure--until McDougall took the puck in the slot and punched it past the Eagle netminder, setting the stage for Husky Wayne Turner's memorable overtime score and Northeastern's first Beanpot ever...
When B.C. (11-4 ECAC, 15-5 overall) and the Huntington Avenue Hounds (7-4-1 ECAC, 11-5-1 overall) face off once more at Boston Garden tonight, the confrontation between McDougall, one of the ECAC's most talented forwards, and O'Connor, perhaps the East's top netminder, will be worth watching. The game may well depend on whether the Eagles's terrific goaltending and strong defense can stop Northeastern's better-than-seven-goals-a-game offense...
...Northeastern will have to work hardest to beat will be the B.C. netminder. The Eagles may have college hockey's finest goaltending trio in O'Connor, Billy Switaj and Doug Ellis. All three have played this year, but lately coach Len Ceglarski has been going with O'Connor, and it looks like the two-tournament veteran will get the nod on Monday. O'Connor, a true clutch goalie, sports a spectacular flopping style which has brought him a 90.49 save average...
...Connor isn't making life hard enough for the Huskies, he can count on help from his blueliners, a stingy bunch led by George Boudreau, Jim Chisolm and one of B.C.'s leading scorers. Tom Wright. It'll be up to them to win the important battles in the slot...
...other end of the ice. Flaman has recently relied on Mark Davidner in net, over George Demetroulakis, who must have nightmares about the Garden after last year's disastrous performance. Davidner often exhibits O'Connor's style but not always his talent, as he tends to drop to the ice too soon. He has managed to maintain a .88 save average but had two rough outings in losses to Cornell and B.U. last week, and there is still a chance Demetroulakas or freshman Tim Marshall may see action instead...
