    Which is why I said it was a good thing that BC lost to NU on Feb. 19th. York used that as a learning tool and they haven't lost since.

      not many i don't think. I was there the past 2 years and don't remember seeing any but then again, there's that memory thing again

        As has been mentioned, nobody thinks this will be easy for BC. While I was extremely happy to see BU get TKO'd last night, the down side is having to face a hungry, streaking Northeastern team. They looked really good last night - stout defensively, lots of blocked shots, fairly smart play. This will be a tough fight - and I'm glad, because BC needs some tough games to get ready for NCAAs. 4 of BC's last 6 games were against UMass and they were successfully able to coast to four wins. There will be no coasting on Friday.

        Fun fact (or not so fun for us wearing maroon and gold): NU is the only Hockey East team this year's senior class has a losing record against.

        UMass 13-2-1
        PC 10-2-2
        Maine 8-2-3 (wow)
        Merrimack 7-3-1
        BU 9-5-2
        UVM 7-4-2
        UML 6-5-1
        UNH 7-6-2
        NU 6-7-1

        I have only one prediction for this week: This thread will not be as entertaining as the BC-BU semifinal threads of yore. Maybe we could start a discussion about whether or not BU vs. Northeastern is a rivarly? That seems to be an under-discussed topic on here.

          i have seen scant evidence of "tearing it up" in the past 3 games

            Agreed, played well against UNH (honestly if we play the way we did on that Friday night there's no team that can play with us), but not sure what to make of beating the zoo 4 times in a row.

              No, NU winning a game does not help BU, because the .500 TUC doesn't change much for us, and I believe an NU win over BC and subsequent loss would not keep them as a TUC, could be wrong about that though, haven't run every scenario.

                1. No, not "wow"... LSSU East stinks... where have you been the last 4 yrs?
                2. As you can see from above... from now on, the folks in Orono will now be referred to as LSSU East.

                Pretty sad to see the records we see vs. NU and UML, IMO. But the winning record over UNH and the +4 total vs. BU more than makes up for it, especially considering that 3 of those 4 were in their beloved Piszpot tournament.

                The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                  I so far haven't seen a scenario where bu would make the tourney as an at large. NU winning or losing. Have you? Just curious.

You simply can't appreciate a title as much if you don't suffer through a lot of failure beforehand. To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.

                    There are a bunch that involve CC losing vs. UAA and Dartmouth losing both its semifinal game and the third place game, with all of the other favorites still winning. BU would be 15 in most of these cases (the last team in since the AHA winner will take the 16 spot), however, so NU winning it all could steal another at-large spot, which could in fact be BU's. People have found scenarios in which Maine could make it as well, and there was one in which both Maine and BU could make it (it's in the comments section of the most recent HE Blog post).

                      over the past 5 years i would have to say that is in the top 5 best performances, and it was performance . still , my all time favorite is the 2008 national semifinal vs North Dakota, 6-0 until a goal in the last minute for sioux. it was a game that when it was over i wondered if in fact there was a pass that BC didnt connect with, they were that perfect

                        At least UNH still has a winning record vs. BC in the regular season
                        Good luck to you guys this weekend (not that you'll need it!) see you in ManchHatten

                          Anyone have an idea where the BC sections are? I need to buy through the Garden because BC's ticket office is being BC's ticket office.

                              That's where we usually are but I remember being in better seats for HE, close to the faceoff dots & I think where we are changes year to year (based off seed?)

                                HET tournament seats, at least in the balcony, have not been in the corners for as far back as I can remember, 2005. They've always been at a blue line.
