100 Points!
Reading this weekend’s Hockey East release, I realized I had completely missed Nick Bonino of Boston University hitting the 100 career points mark back on January 29.
Six players have reached the milestone so far this season:
November 24: James Marcou, UMass
January 1: Ben Smith, Boston College (earlier blog gallery)
January 22: Bobby Butler, UNH (earlier blog gallery)
February 20: Kory Falite, Lowell (earlier blog gallery)
February 21: Brian Gibbons, Boston College (earlier blog galleries – 1 2)
Hoping BC Eagle Joe Whitney (earlier blog gallery) will get the needed five points to hit the century mark over the next two games to have it out of the way before the playoffs (College point totals include regular season combined with post-season points, unlike professional totals which keep the two separate. They do not include points earned during exhibition games.) With at least 2 more Hockey East quarterfinal games guaranteed or nearly guaranteed in addition to this weekend’s pair, sophomore Maine Black Bear Gustav Nyquist (86 currently) and junior Northeastern Husky Wade MacLeod (90) (earlier blog gallery) have a chance to reach the mark this year regardless of the game results.
