Lets not be dramatic about this matchup with St Cloud state. They are a good team, (all teams that make the tourney are), but looking at their results they are beatable. They have played very well against some top competition but have lost 10 games as well including 3 time vs W. Michigan, a sub .500 team. As you guys point out the same applies to the Terriers, its just who show s up for this game. The big worry is the lay off. Usually a team coming off a 2 week layoff takes a while to get their sea legs back. I recall this happening with one of the best Terriers teams ever with the likes of Tony Amonte, McEachern, ect. vs Michigan . a series they eventually won 12-2 on aggregate. (they looked terrible in the first period). The most recent precedent with an eventual matchup with BC in the NCAAs was the regional final in 2006 and a 5-0 whitewashing of the Terriers. We have a chance for revenge for that one. All in all i really believe this is our best chance for a return to the Frozen Four since 2015.
