      Or probably not. They are sold out.

        if NMU police enforce the scalping law, I'm not sure it will be full

          Give Joe and staff a lot of credit for challenging and helping to mold this team. By all accounts this was slated to be a rebuilding year. We lost a lot of key pieces (goalie, half of our D, and several key Forwards) I don't think he will get WCHA coach of the year, but he should be in the discussion.

          The guys deserve the most credit for not giving up and finding ways to grind out Ws these last few weeks. They fought through injuries, short benches, grumbling fans (me included), and a coaching change. The goalies deserve extra credit for Devin stepping up and carrying us this far and Packy for stepping up after picking splinters and playing two back to back solid games.

          Bring on NMU!!
          I said that after one of their comeback wins towards the beginning of the season when things were't looking quite as bad as they did at times. I would have shied away from it towards the middle of the season and the Ferris series, but since that series they absolutely have proven that and then some.

            I agree. Nothing that Tech did wrong, just badly misplayed by MSU. I didn't realize just what happened until I saw the replay this morning. I was more just shocked when it happened as MSU seemed to be gaining steam in the previous 2 minutes. It seemed like the scales were tipping in MSU's favor and then that happened.

              That was a fun game with great atmosphere. Best hockey I saw all weekend.



              I had a thought, how many tickets could be sold if they could expand the BEC as much as possible? I'd say easily 10,000.

                That's the downfall of this playoff format. But, at the same time, they play this game at the X, and it would still be empty as hell. So what do you do about it? I have no idea.

                  You do exactly what they are doing (location, not ticket sales procedures).

                  I was at the championship game at the Mac last year and it was the best sports atmosphere I have ever experienced. Bar none. None of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, MLB LCS Series or any other game at any level even comes close. Playing this game at the X, or any other neutral site would sacrifice most of the energy that was in the building last year, and will be at the Berry on Saturday. I wish I could be there in person, but having only 4000 fans in a packed smaller rink on campus is way better than having 10,000 in an NHL rink.

                  The WCHA should keep the playoff format the same, just improve the sales procedures so schools like Northern can't screw over their fans again.

                    That's all on Northern. The WCHA leaves it up to the schools to sell the tickets how they see fit as the WCHA is getting their game fee not matter what.

                          If I was a Northern fan that has season tickets and I couldnt get tickets to a conference championship game because they sold 40 to some scumbag that kept getting in line to get 10 per transaction, I'd feel like NMU screwed me.

                          If I was a Northern fan that lives in Detroit and couldn't get to Marquette on 9 hours notice to stand in line for tickets while most schools make them available over the phone or online, I'd feel like NMU screwed me.

                          If I was a Northern fan that lives and works in Marquette, can't afford season tickets but get to 5-6 games a year when I can, but I have to be at work by 7:00 Monday AM so I can't wait in line at the ticket office, I'd feel like NMU screwed me.

                          If I'm a Northern fan that is paying tuition to NMU for my son, he stands in line for 90 minutes and they tell him he can only have one ticket with his ID and won't sell him a non-student ticket so I can see the game with him, I'd feel like NMU screwed me.

                          As a Tech fan I expect Northern to try and screw me. Which makes me so happy I'm not a Northern fan getting screwed by my favourite team.

                            My guess on the in-person restriction is to screw tech fans. My conservative estimate is that half of the arena would be black and gold if they opened up online sales immediately following last night's results. The universities huskyphobia is apparent in how they've banned our band from all sporting events on their campus.

                            I hope the majority of those bulk purchases are to secure tickets for family and friends that couldn't make it to the ticket office due to work or location. I have a relative living in mqt who bought a handful for both tech and nmu family members who couldn't physically get there to buy them.

                              I agree it was probably meant to screw Tech fans, but Tech fans were not the only ones screwed by it. If I was a Northern fan I'd be irate. That's no way to treat a loyal fanbase that regularly turns out slightly over 2000 fans per game.

                                Did they release all tickets in the building this morning? At least how tech did it, they released all but the season tickets and some visiting team seats. If they weren't purchased by the folks they held them for by Wednesday afternoon or something like that, they were made available. I bought some unclaimed season tickets when the opened up mid-week.
