Re: Boston College Eagles 2013-2014 season thread -Speed returns to The Heights
Not that NU looks to be all that interested in investing in the Hockey Program, but I think it's time to admit that Matthews is not a plus in the recruiting game. Local prospects know that the only time the old place rocks is when BU or BC visit, and that most other nights it's just Family and Friends. Student support is reflected in the teams record. The Matthews experience gets old quick for the majority of new students. It is hard to sell to a recruit that you are committed to being a contending Program and then show them the Arena, while other schools are offering newer (by decades) amenities. Bottom line: NU has to show recruits that they are serious and it starts with where they will be playing (and who they will be playing for).

Jerry looking good in that picture on front page of USCHO. Here's to hoping that all that he went through last year medically is behind him and he's in great shape for the new year. We are within 60 days of the opener*****

When you consider how freaking terrible their team has been since Thiessen left, it's pretty amazing how they still pack that place to the brim for BC and BU games.
You're kidding yourself if you think NU is below average in term of atmosphere.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10

Noticed that as well. Believe it was the 23rd.
Passed on the Frozen Fenway idea. Figured I could always buy tickets later if I decide I want to go.
BTW we're going to be pretty shorthanded for that one. McCoshen, Santini, Matheson (maybe) & Demko all gone.

Originally posted by ericredaxe View PostFrom the BU side I ended up making the same decision for pretty much the exact reason you described..It won't be nearly as exciting as the first time... But should still be fun for the "event" sake of it.*****

Originally posted by sterlippo1 View PostA small part of the reason i decline to go is there there's no way in hell anything can approach the first one. BC-BU, the newness, the snow , the whole setting was just surreal. You knew you were witnessing something special as far as a Boston event is concernedNational Champions: 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949
