Congrats on that "outstanding" record. No wonder why NU hasn't won anything since the 80's, they have such low standards. Not even a UNH fan would brag about a 6-7 record against BC.

If bc is 6-7 against NU that means NU is 7-6 against bc.

I thought bc kids were supposed to be the smrt ones

Northeastern has already sold out its student tickets as of over an hour ago.

I'm not dumb enough to expect a better record. Bet you umass wants better than 2-12 against BC. I'll take 7-6

fwiw, hockey east designates a very, very small number of student tickets per school, less than one balcony section. tell your fans to just go to the garden box office and get a random student balcony seat for the same 10 bucks.

I mean one of those years your team WAS actually better than ours in all the rankings and in the Hockey East standings (2008-2009). Record year on many counts for NU. You guys went 3-1 vs. us including that throttling we took in the Beanpot. Of course, your one loss to us was on the last day of the regular season and prevented you from winning the RS title...
Past two seasons though (aka the post-Thiessen era) NU has gone 2-4-1 against BC, with both wins coming by 1 goal at Matthews. 2 of the losses were at Conte last year by a combined score of 12-2. The two losses this year were a 2-0 shutout at Matthews and that 7-6 thriller in the Beanpot. I think saying "having our number" might be a bit of a stretch...

I figured, apparently NU added 175 more seats but they sold out tonight also.

Have you seen Muse's record against NU? 5-7-1 with an .896 sv%. That includes 2 years that CHCC won the national title and NUs best year in program history. For this senior class, that's the closest you will get to having their number.

Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

1982 and 1988 >> 2009

Hockey East Title, Beanpot, Frozen Four >> chokes

We can play this game all week...have you seen muse's postseason numbers? Guess we'll find out Friday which is the better indicator

Well there is a difference between "outstanding" and "good considering the circumstances." NU has had a decent record against this BC senior class, better than the average NU team. But that have hardly been "outstanding" or had BC's "number."

i wonder if i should rethink my premise and get tickets now. i am just tired of paying the fees and then pick where i want to sit like the last 3 HE tournaments.......hearing that Mack and now NU selling out their allotment makes me wonder but if as you say the schools get a small number then i shouldn't have to worry................yet

Call the TD Garden Box Office directly, they're very forthcoming with how sections are selling, what school is sitting where . . . and for what it's worth, looking at the website a lot of the upper sections are filled (well, tickets aren't available, whatever that means). Call the Box Office, tell them you're from a school, (BC, sterlippo, yes?) and they should be very helpful.

yes, BC thanks, why didn't i think of that

I should also mention; I bought 5 tickets for Friday's game (can't go Saturday, have a gig), at $32.50 a ticket; all the box office charged me was one $5 fee, and that was to rush mail them so I have them tomorrow. Soooo much better than ticketbastard.
