Carl Sneep can't help but smile a little bit when he's asked about his shot. The Boston College senior defenseman had scored six career goals entering the season, but the tying goal he scored on Saturday against BU was his sixth of this season.
Sneep's Eagles converted 15.8 percent of their power-play chances a season ago. So far this season, they're scoring at a 23.7 percent clip -- and having Sneep back at the blue line has been a big part of it.

"It's been unbelievable," forward Ben Smith said. "It's been great for us, especially on the power play. You know he's always back there cocked and ready to fire for us."
Sneep says he hasn't spent much extra time on his shot, and that he doesn't take aim at the net any more than anyone else in practice.

"It's not so much that my shot has gotten that much better," he said. "I've been getting in the right position to be an offensive player and be on the power play and be at that top position with guys who can feed the puck really well and getting shots off with traffic in front. It's more that than working on my shot."

The results, though, give him away. Saturday's goal was a bullet of a wrist shot from the point tucked beautifully under the crossbar, a goal scorer's goal if there ever was one.
"I was mostly just trying to hit the net," he said. "I was pretty fortunate that it went in."
