Notre Dame Clobbers #2 Boston College

Jeff Jackson's Fighting Irish crushed the #2 ranked Eagles of Boston College last night 7 - 2 in game  of a best-of-three Hockey East Tournament series.  BC scored the game's two first goals, on their home ice, before Notre Dame scored seven unanswered goals. 

The Irish are on a roll at the right time -- eight straight wins -- as they make their case for a NCAA bid.

Game two is played this afternoon -- again in Boston -- at 4 PM ET.  Go Irish!
