The “over-rated” chants reverberating throughout Agganis Arena as the third period wound down said it all about the No. 5 Michigan hockey team’s 7-2 loss to No. 6 Boston University.

The Terriers’ domination was much more than a single tally in the Wolverines’ loss column. Michigan was completely outplayed, and its frustration grew as the game continued, culminating in multiple ejections for fighting at the end of the third frame.

Boston University’s five power-play goals (on nine opportunities) were key in breaking the Wolverines’ 11-game non-conference winning streak, which began with Michigan’s sweep of the Terrier’s at Yost Ice Arena last season.

The Wolverines scored two goals of their own on the man advantage, but they came after the Terriers had already mounted a four-goal lead and did little to curtail the game’s momentum.

After 15 minutes of back-and-forth hockey to open the game, Boston University opened the floodgates in the final five minutes of the first period. Terrier forward Nick Bonino wristed a shot from the left circle, nailing goalie Billy Sauer in the chest. But Sauer couldn’t control the weak rebound, and Boston University freshman forward Kevin Gilroy slammed the puck by Sauer’s open right side for a 1-0 lead.

Minutes later, the Terriers struck again to capture the momentum they would never relinquish. Michigan had just killed a 5-on-3 advantage, including a last-second save by Sauer sprawled across the line to cover up a rebound, but faced the remainder of the second penalty, a crosschecking call against captain Chris Summers.

Junior walk-on defenseman Eric Elmblad turned the puck over behind the Wolverines’ net to Terrier freshman Chris Connolly who wrapped the puck around Sauer’s right. The initial shot appeared to have been saved, but it slowly inched through Sauer’s five-hole, leaving the senior goalie in shock after thinking he had already covered the puck.

And the second period was just a continuation of the first’s final minutes. Michigan managed just six shots the entire frame and was unable to capitalize on a minute-long 5-on-3 man advantage. Boston University — 3-for-30 on the power play entering the game — tallied its second and third scores with an extra skater.

With Summers in the box for interference and just under seven minutes into the frame, Terrier top-line left winger Chris Higgins skated the puck just past the crease before finding right wing Jason Lawrence, who punched in the puck past Sauer’s left blocker.

Michigan’s offensive struggles continued throughout the rest of the period with the Wolverines unable to find any offensive rhythm, especially in their power play.

And to put the nail in the coffin, Boston University lit the lamp twice more in the second period’s final minutes on the man advantage.

Michigan coach Red Berenson replaced Sauer with sophomore Bryan Hogan for the third period after Sauer surrendered four goals on 19 shots.

But Hogan didn’t fair much better. Just over five minutes into the final frame, Lawrence redirected Terrier defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk’s pass on the right edge of the crease to put Boston University up 5-1. The Terriers’ final goal, technically even strength, came two seconds after Wolverine defenseman Greg Pateryn left the box.
