Despite the Boston University Terriers’ loss to the Boston College Eagles in the Beanpot Semifinals, it’s not all doom and gloom for me. (I got a blog post out of it. That has to be worth something, right?) If there was one good thing about the game that I saw on NESN, it was

From Minor League Baseball to… Minor League Hockey: Part 3
