I am a sucker for “local-athlete-does-good” stories. Actually, I’m just a sucker for anything about Monday’s BU victory over Harvard in the first round of the Beanpot. So I was super excited to read the “On-Campus” column on NHL.com this morning, which has the all-important “local-boy-does-good” angle on the Terriers’ game-winning-goal. (I mean, the game-winning-goal was a lazy sports reporter’s dream – local hockey player celebrates his birthday by scoring the game-winning-goal with one minute remaining at a giant college hockey tournament that he’s watched since he was five. Really. The recap writes itself. That’s like the ending to the perfect piece of “learning-to-read” fiction for 8-12 year old Canadian boys.)
But I digress. What is more important is that according to this NHL.com article, Northeastern University and Boston University are separated by the Charles River. Really? Let’s take a look.

That’s an oops for them. Oh well. They tried.
Kind of reminds me of the “line between BC territory and BC territory”:
