I'm going! Heading out in a few minutes from Ann Arbor. It's been a while since I've driven in downtown Pittsburgh... This should be a challenge.

Pretty sure it's
6 times. According to the article on USCHO, he's 4-2 against BG. If my memory serves me correctly, BC played in BG, and lost, during the Buddy Powers years.
edit: 96-97 BG beat BC in BG on Oct 18-19 by scores of 8-3, then 4-2.

Falcons score, but whistle blows before play is dead and goal called off. Announcers made it seem as though the puck was in mid air when the whistles blow.
Can't catch a break

Much better effort on Saturday. We came out really flat on Friday and gifted BC a 3-goal lead. All were soft goals, all could be written off to both a lack of focus from a single defenseman and mistakes by Burke. The 2nd and 3rd on Friday were much more competitive, with even shot totals and a respectable share of possession. It also hurt that BC was noticeably faster than us, with crisper passing and some breathtaking individual skills. You can't make mistakes against a Jerry York team and expect to win.
Game 2 was much better from our end. Better effort and hustle from the start, we dominated the first and looked solid on special teams. We outclassed RMU physically in much the same way that BC outclassed us. Stupid penalties down the stretch again showed our discomfort in playing with a lead, but we managed to survive. The final score is not as close as the game was, we just lost some focus down a man at the end.
