Game Day Preview: BU & Cornell at MSG


 Today the Terriers, and the Big Red of the University of Cornell, will play in the Red Hot Hockey game. This is a showcase game that will be played in front of 18,000+ in Madison Square Garden. The game is named Red Hot Hockey because both schools sport red in their uniforms. This is only the second time BU and Cornell have played in the Red Hot Hockey game. The last was in 2007 when the Terrier won 6-3.

The video is of the last Red Hot Hockey back in 2007.

Cornell, on the season is 6-2-0, and in second place in the ECAC. They are only behind Quinnipiac, the surprise of the season, in my mind. Cornell has win's over Niagara, Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown, Princeton, and Colgate. The losses were against Yale, Quinnipiac and an exhibition loss to the USA under 18 team.

The Terrier are coming off a thrilling win in overtime at Harvard. Bu is 4-7-1 on the season with wins over Michigan, Umass Lowell, Merimack, and Harvard. The tie came against UNH.

I will be at the game with my camera and will offer a pictoral of the game.

Lets go back
Through the  history of both Cornell and BU there has bean a thick rivalry between the tow schools. Back before the creation of Hockey East the Terriers and Big Read would paly each other three times a year in the ECAC. The rivalry was at is peak in the late '6os and early '70s when the two schools battled in two NCAA national title games. Cornell beat the Terriers 4-1 in 1967 and BU got Revenge in 1972 by beating the Big Red by the same score.
