Is it done with attendance in mind or TV ratings? Mookie always explains TV ratings are minuscule so maybe this was done to allow UMass students and people from western Mass to make the trip in.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019
I meant strictly from a hockey perspective. The intensity of BU-NU rivalry especially since Northeastern has been good under Madigan. To me it's a more compelling game. But I admit I am putting aside the outside factors when I say that. UMass has been terrible for so long it's tough to gauge.

BC was one of the few teams that UMass had trouble with late last year and in a one game situation it is anyone's game. BC has one big advantage, playing at the Garden which may be a little intimidating for a newcomer like UMass. That possible BC-BU final could be one of the better fan draws in a long time as both teams would be truly psyched just to be there.

Originally posted by chickod View PostMaybe, but remember. They are the "state" school, which means there are alumni all over the state that could come out of the woodwork for something like this. Personally (seriously) I hope they do. I'm tired of going to games in that place where it's half dead.*****

Originally posted by sterlippo1 View Postagree, it would be great if they filled the place. Someone's got to without Maine and to a lesser degree , UNH , not ever coming anymore.
BC and NU are located in loge 7 end but on opposite sides
Since my brother is an NU grad I decided to take seats in loge 7 since it’s between the BC and NU sections allocated which is like no man’s land LOL
That way I don’t sit in the NU rooting section and my brother does not sit in the BC rooting section ))
In my opinion the Friday games will be packed mostly with UMass fans everywhere
So if you bought tickets for the balcony thinking you can move to lower bowl seats 🎈i’m Not sure if that’s possible if it’s a packed house FridayNCAA Champs 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949, Hockey East Tourney Champs 2012 #11, Beanpot Champs 2016

On a Friday night in the city, with many of their alums already working/living in greater Boston, I'd expect UMASS to bring more fans than BC, BU, NU combined.

Originally posted by defkit View PostWell, us BU/NU fans can still prolly move to the lower bowl for the first two periods of Game 1.
I do not want to chance it and get kicked out when someone wants their assigned seats and I don’t like moving around looking for empty seats when I could be chilling in my own seats or feel free to mix with friends or other fans in the concession areas and not worry about where I sit when the game resumesNCAA Champs 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949, Hockey East Tourney Champs 2012 #11, Beanpot Champs 2016

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019
Getting back to the game I as a BC fan would be happy for st least one more win considering how very disappointing it has been this season
Playing on house money as they say but 2 wins would certainly reduce some of that disappointment for the horrible season BC has had
I just hope next season BC can come back to respectability that is generally associated with the program
I get no respect by the BC homers I run into but I really don’t care
I will not sugar coat strengths and weaknesses of the team
It doesn’t matter who it is whether it’s a player or coach
I rather call it as I see it than poo poo it and suck up to the homers I run into who will say nothing negative even if it’s the truthNCAA Champs 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949, Hockey East Tourney Champs 2012 #11, Beanpot Champs 2016
