BOSTON - Updated, 10:45 p.m. What looked like a blowout at the beginning of the third frame quickly became a nail-biter, as Boston University registered two third-period goals, but Boston College managed to hold on for its second Beanpot title in three years, defeating the defending national champions 4-3.

Should be an epic battle!! I still believe Laconia got the better (easier) matchup last week, and Plymouth is probably licking its wounds a little bit from a war with Kennett.
Either way, the two clearcut best teams in the division, and no one can gripe about who wins. Whoever wins is the better team. Period. Did Laconia hide Bozek from Plymouth in their first matchup on purpose, planning to give him 30 touches this week?? Very possible. Both teams will be ready for whatever the other throws at them.
Interesting note - Plymouths last home playoff loss was to Laconia. In 1999.

I don't believe Laconia can stop both Hay & Mcauliffe. Lenahan will see what Laconia's defense is trying to do and go to the open back. They can't shut down two 1000+ yd rushers in the same game. Should be great game though especuially if the weather isn't a factor this year. In the mud maybe Laconia. On a good field Plymouth...they are to diverse. They won the 1st game and never threw a pass. Wait until Plymouth opens up their offense then watch what happens to the running game.

I was at the Laconia/Plymouth game last year and what a game it was. Christian kinda caught the defense off guard and went the distance from the "wildcat" formatation early in the first quarter. From there it was just one of the most exciting games i have ever seen. I expect it will be the same way this time. You guys go out and play like champions......because thats what you all are.

I've seen both teams play this year and must say that both teams feature great running backs and defenses. Although i did not see the regular season game this year I did see the championship game last year between these two and I would think it would be the same type of game. In the end though I think Bozek and Laconia's defense will have an answer to McAuliffe and Hay. Laconia 21 Plymouth 14.

It would be interesting to hear Kennett coach Ken Sciacca's assessment of how he thinks Plymouth would do in D-I or D-II.
Sciacca previously was a D-I head coach at Trinity, Manchester Memorial, Salem, and Haverhill, MA.

Hopefully Laconia ends Plymouth streak this week they should of done it last year in the championship, they need to take care of business this time.

No matter who win the champion in Div 4. I know the coaches will have there game plans and team well prepared for the game.
Plymouth will take one game at a time with nowinning streak involved. LACONIA WILL LOOK FOR REVENGE.
We at Superior Car Wash in Lincoln,NH predict Plymouth over Laconia by 6 points. Since the game is in Plymouth.But it should be a good game.
