We had some close games but ultimately ended up with chalk this weekend. BU/BC at 5 and NU/PC at 8 on Friday. BC and BU spilt their series this year and PC took 3 points off of NU during their weekend series. Any of the 4 teams winning the title really wouldn't surprise me, should be fun.

Re: Hockey East Semi's and Finals
Does anyone know for sure what the determining factor is for when each game is played? It's not #1 seed choice because there have been examples of #1 seed playing late game. And it's not "brand matchup" is nightcap because BC-BU would be nightcap. Only thing I can think of here is since PC is the only non Boston team, give people from Providence more time to get to game. But we're talking Providence not Maine here. Seems like a stretch.
Anyway, I am expecting both to be one goal games. Elimination game for BC and BU. NUs top heavy talent against a more balanced PC team. Should be a fun night.

Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Other than Merrimack and UMass or Notre Dame some teams still have not won a HE Tournament trophy. They have their Beanpot this year and good chance will get a Tournament trophy too. 🍺2016 and 2019 HOCKEY EAST CHAMPIONS

Re: Hockey East Semi's and Finals
Originally posted by J.D. View PostYou would think that but there have been times where the #1 seed has played late game. BU in 2009, BC 2016.
In other Hockey East tournament miscellany this is the first time since 2006 that all four quarterfinal series were sweeps. It was also the lowest average attendance (2,309) for the quarterfinals going back to 2002.

Re: Hockey East Semi's and Finals
Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostYes, but the drop has not been a straight line. The 2016 quarterfinal average attendance (3,910) was the third highest out of the last 17 years and the 2017 quarterfinals were in the middle, 8th (3,576). So what changed between 2016 and this year to cause a drop of almost 41%? Looking at the four home teams it would appear that the excitement of the fan base of Lowell and Notre Dame played a big part in the averages for 2016 & 2017. Having the three Boston schools all host was a major part of the drop this year, as BU & BC have always had playoff attendance issues, as has NU the past four years that they have hosted a playoff series.
