Eagles Win Denver Cup, Pearcey = MVP

As the Gongshow Gods predicted, the BC Eagles prevailed in Colorado and defeated an overmatched Princeton squad for the prestigious Wells Fargo Denver Cup. Pearcey, naturally, was named Tournament MVP as he kicked out 53 out of the 57 shots he faced in the two games vs. Ferris State and Princeton. This feat is especially impressive because this was the first time Pearcey was in net for the Eagles in two years. Pretty good for a Jersey Shore surfer boy who has the Endless Summer motif on his goalie helmet. Congrats to Pearcey for a job well done.

BC Hockey has historically fared well in Colorado- the Eagles' first NCAA Championship victory was won in Colorado Springs in 1949. So not only does Colorado provide BC with many a great hockey memory, but the Centennial State's Rocky Mountains are the natural spring source of Coor's Light barley juice, which BC students enjoy in abundance at the Cleveland Circle Applebee's for a competitive $2/pint.

Big Ups: **Chris Collins, a venerable force for the Puck Squad, is on a rampage this year. Two of his league-leading 15 goals helped BC cruise to a Denver Cup victory last night. **Johnny Ayers, America's favorite punter, kept his cool despite brutal weather conditions in Boise as BC held off the Boise State Broncos in the MaryAnn's Bathroom Bowl. He followed his nerves-of-steel goal-line punting performance by holding up the BC football plane on the tarmac at the Boise airport because he did not set an alarm. It was ok, though, he's a limo driver. **Cory Schneider, who is in Vancouver being a true patriot and playing for USA in the World Junior's. Schneids has been his usual self, unpenetrable, dashing, intelligent, bold, elegant, etc and he will continue to mind the net in the quarterfinals Jan. 2nd against the Czech Republic.

The Gongshow@BC was well-represented on a national scale last night, which turned out to be quite the New Year's Eve. Greels was in Boston, bringing in 2006 with a largely Harvard crowd. There were many Gongshow@BC fans in attendance, and it was great to get feedback from non-BC readers. Who would have thought that we would be autographing bared chests just because of a blog? Pearcey was in Denver, setting all sorts of records and making everyone proud. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to all of our friends who we were not with last night, we'll all be together soon at the Has Beens' Back to School/ New Year's Ever All Over Again Bash.

God Bless. Enjoy the holidays. Say hi to your girlfriends for us. -Gongshow@BC a.k.a. Mike Greeley and Joe Pearce
