Providence at Boston College"},"content":{"rendered":"
Fresh off winning their first-ever Beanpot, the Boston College Eagles turn their attention to the team that thoroughly dispatched them from the Hockey East Championships a year ago — the Providence Friars. <\/p>\n
Back then, Providence was the top seed in the conference en route to its fourth straight league tournament title, while BC was the upstart that had to scratch and claw its way into the fourth position. This time around, the Eagles come in 10-2 in their last dozen games and find themselves perched just above the Friars in the Hockey East pecking order. However, this time of year has typically been to PC’s liking. <\/p>\n
If the current standings hold, then this weekend’s home-and-home is just the prelude for another semifinal collision two weeks from now. With the Friars holding down the eighth eligible spot in USCHO.com’s Pairwise Rankings, and the Eagles not far behind, these games will have implications beyond Hockey East.<\/p>\n
