BC tops Harvard to win Beanpot

Chockey Betting Lines

02/12/2008 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Petrecki scored his second goal of the game at 7:07 of overtime to lead Boston College to a 6-5 victory over Harvard on Monday in the 56th Beanpot championship game.

The Eagles were controlling the extra period and outshot Harvard 7-0 before Petrecki got to a rebound during a scramble in front of the net and poked it past Kyle Richter.

It was BC's first Beanpot victory since 2004 and the 14th overall in the annual contest for the region's college hockey bragging rights.

Brian Gibbons scored twice and was the tournament's MVP, and John Muse stopped 21 shots for the Eagles (15-6-7), who beat Boston University in last week's opening round.

Boston University, which had won the tournament in 11 of the previous 13 years, missed the final for the first time since 1994 but beat Northeastern in the consolation game, 5-4, earlier Monday.

Doug Rogers had a goal and two assists for Harvard (9-11-3), which hasn't won the tournament since 1993 and was playing in the final for the first time since 1998. Richter made 27 saves for the Crimson.

The Eagles grabbed a 4-3 lead at 5:48 of the third when Matt Price dug the puck out from behind the Harvard net and backhanded it to Pat Gannon in front. Gannon whacked at it twice before it trickled between Richter's pads.

Andrew Orpik gave the Eagles a 5-3 lead midway through the third. But Harvard cut the deficit in half 52 seconds later, as Jon Pelle came over the blue line and faked two defenders onto the ice before putting the puck past Muse at the 11:14 mark.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
