    Who other than BC has been a contender at the Garden lately? Certainly not BU or UNH...

      Red herring. Product of schedule.

      2011-12:
      Merrimack 4173
      Northeastern 3798
      Providence 4422
      Providence 4183
      Lowell 4749
      Lowell 4642
      Average:4327.83

      2012-13:
      Quinnipiac 4338
      St. Lawrence 4636
      St. Lawrence 4689
      Boston College 4733
      New Hampshire 4659
      UMass 4231
      Average Minus BC/UNH: 4473.5

      Seems insignificant to me, especially if you subtract that Sunday Northeastern game from last year that coincided with a 4:00 Jets-Patriots game.

        Kind of like BC's appearances in the early 90's. Oh wait, there weren't any. From 1991-1996 BC went 0-1 in the Garden, missing the last four four times and the tournament altogether in 1995. From 1998-2002 mighty BU went 0-2 at the Garden and missed the last four three times. I think UHN would rather just avoid this topic entirely. But no, these things never work in cycles or anything.

        No, we can't subtract anything. Attendance is sacred. Besides, I seem to recall a Maine game this year was played on a Sunday that coincided with a 4:00 Pats game against Peyton Manning.

            I would believe that York makes a lot more than that. This is comparable to Sneddon at Vermont.

              Against UNH. If Maine can't crack 4k for UNH, we might as well shutter the program.

                Last year when a certain someone pointed out that the Northeastern game was on a Sunday vs the Pats-Jets (and during fall break, when Maine rarely plays at home) that person was told to stop making excuses for a flailing program. You can't point to it as an outlier now.

                  I think the fact that the game is on TV will have a negative affect on attendance. Plus the game is at 8..stupid. Game will end at 11. Final score 0-0

                    Final score cannot be 0-0. Why? Because neither of these teams can "score", so how can the game have a score? How about we just call it nil, kind of like where both programs have been heading for a while.
                    sure why not

                      Attendance so far this year is also up at Alfond Arena. On a side note, Ryan Lomberg is out tonight (violation of team rules).

                      Did he burn his hand on a stove cooking eggs?? This game will be a 6-5 game.

                        Hopefully they play at least decent enough to win though I hope they play better than "Decent".

                          Seeing as I wasn't the one who told you that, I can do whatever the hell I want.

                            So what did BC do to rectify that situation?

                                That's a ridiculous call that's a good goal

                                Maine Hockey: I want to believe
                                43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
                                104-47-14 (.669) in that time

                                11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)
