My Final Post and the End of Beyond the Game.

I just wanted to officially declare the end of Beyond the Game. It was fun while it lasted, and helped me get an A in my writing class. However, I want to make it known that I am not shutting down this blog on my own. I had full intention to continue posting game highlights and various opinionated posts for the remainder of my career as the Boston University Men's Ice Hockey Video Coordinator. Unfortunately, in this business, reputation and strategy are crucial to an organization. I made an error by posting the pre-season video on youtube and on this blog.  Such information should be kept within the organization and not released to the public. Further, posting game highlights may have been a great tool for reaching fans who may not have access to watching the games, these posts may also take away from any strategic edge if other teams get a hold of them.

Some things are better off left at home, eh? Is that even a saying? Oh well.

I want to thank all of my subscribers, followers, and vistors to the site. It was because of you that Beyond the Game was as successful as it was. I had a great time blogging, and I am sure this will not be the last you see of me.

Happy Holidays,

JP Buckley

Game Highlights: BC Weekend

Well, this weekend was one for the books, as one would expect whenever the Terriers and Eagles clash in back to back games. On Friday, BU traveled up the street into enemy territory and stole the show...kind of? Anyone who was at the game will tell you how backwards it really was. The Eagles embarrassingly outshot the Terries, but thanks to miraculous goaltending by Kieran Millan, BU was able to come out with a 5 - 3 victory.

On Saturday nights game, just the opposite happened. Until the third period, before mental and physical fatigue set in, the Terriers dominated the Eagles on shots. However, freshmen goalie Brian Bennet was a brick wall, stopping 40 out of 41 shots, carrying the Eagles to a 6 - 1 victory.

All in all, both games were completely backwards and extremely long. From where I was sitting, it was painful to sit through all the penalties, reviewed plays, face-off delays, and tv timeouts. But I mean, BU/BC weekend? Can't beat it.

RedHot Hockey Highlight Update

Hey everyone. I messed up on the original RedHot Hockey Game Highlight video. The clips were not arranged in chronological order, which kind of defeats the purpose of these videos. Anyway, here is the updated video with all clips in order.
