There was the potential for a great “college” game yesterday as #1 ranked BU played the USNTDP U18 team.
So many great prospects on both teams including Celebrini, Willander, Eiserman, Emery, Skahan, and the Hutson brothers.
I would have guessed the older college team would have man handled a bunch of teenagers (albeit very talented teenagers), but it was the opposite. The U18s stomped BU 8-2.
Eiserman looked fantastic! 3 goals 2 assists. Just deadly. Speed, skill, hockey sense, shot, just phenomenal. Some team will tank for him.
Cole Hutson looks every bit as dynamic as his older brother Lane. 2 goals, controlling play a dangerous every time in the o-zone.
Celebrini was clearly the best player for BU, but his teammates didn’t show up
To be fair to BU, they played on Friday (and lost) so maybe a bit tired compared to their opponent. BU is probably over rated but that’s for another thread.
The USNTDP U18s are having 6 or 7 game series vs NCAA teams this year. Great measuring stick games to watch 17 year old prospects play older competition. They will play Western Michigan and Michigan Wolverines later this year. Should be good ones.
