When playoff time comes around, many hockey teams choose to grow hockey beards, mustaches, dye their hair, grow their hair, matching ‘dos, etc. (sometimes it is just by class like a group of Gophers all going long, blonde AND curly a few years ago). In response to a post in a BU thread on USCHO.com, I put together a mini-gallery featuring the Boston University Terriers’ 2010 playoff mustaches:

First-Team

Brian Gibbons, Boston College (previous blog galleries 1  2)

Gustav Nyquist, University of Maine (previous blog gallery)
Bobby Butler, University of New Hampshire (previous blog galleries  1  2)
Colby Cohen, Boston University (previous blog gallery)

Blake Kessel, University of New Hampshire

Surprised I hadn’t done a post including Blake before.  He is a sibling – younger brother of Phil (previous blog gallery) and older brother of Amanda who has committed to the University of Minnesota for next season.

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.
