        For the most part for decades, it has been bu or BC with BU the dominant team overall. Harvard and NU were not relevant until the Crimson broke the ice last year. NU is due this year but this year I would say all 4 teams are relatively equal and any team can win it this year.

          I got to experience NU's last one, as a freshman in 1988. Bruce Racine was a stud. I think BU got two goals past him in the championship, and both were on deflections - it seemed that was the only way he could be beat. All 4 of the hounds titles came in the '80s. BU has the ridiculous string of making the championship game in something like 25 out of 27 years, and won 6 straight in the late 90s/early 2000's. Then BC too over the dominance.

            I was also at that game and BU scored 3 on Bruce, but gave up 6. And although NU has just 4 titles, they have done something Harvard has not been able to do; successfully defend their title (1985).

              I realized I got my years mixed up - I was a sophomore for the 1988 game. Freshman year was the win over NU with Kelfer's turnaround "jump shot" goal in OT.

                Looks like Harvard (vs BU) and BC (vs NU) won the coin tosses as home teams (with last line changes) for the first round.

                  With a forward as talented as Donato, that makes a difference for sure.

                        bu will be lucky now to keep it within single digits

                        looks like another loss to the igles early on the 12th

                          Ha .... that will make no difference when NU loads up on the power play. BC will lose if they can't stay out of the box.

                            nu is playing lackluster offense right now... barring a quick turnaround, i do not see them pulling this off.
                            i want to be optimistic.. but eagles & terriers are getting offense going. harvard & nu need to get it together to have a chance.
                            having said that, go you nu huskies... been too long!

                                Watching NESN's Beanpot preview show. Getting a little excited for Monday. But then again, this preview show is before BU's game against UMass, so that's where the focus needs to be.

                                But...reason for this post. If Northeastern wins this year, I believe it will be only the second time in the tournament's history where each Beanpot school has won in consecutive years:

                                2015 BU
                                2016 BC
                                2017 Harvard
                                2018 maybe possibly Northeastern???

                                Last time it happened:

                                1980 NU
                                1981 BU
                                1982 Harvard
                                1983 BC
