Re: Northeastern at Boston University HEA Quarterfinals

Since when does BU invite the opposing team's band to the arena for a home BU game? And if you're going to, can the two bands at least coordinate instead of trying to play over each other?

From what I understand, the opposing team's band is always invited to playoff games. BU's band traveled one year I was there, in 2004 @ BC :-). They would probably travel if BU were on the road to most locations, as BU was pretty supportive of sending them with the team. Other than that, I'd say its generally a cost thing. NU doesn't have to travel far, so their costs would be low to bring the band in.

From what I understand, per Hockey East Tournament rules, they're allowed to be there. Otherwise, they have to be invited by the home team, which virtually never happens. And I hope they stay home tonight, they were horrendous.

Every HE team has the option of bringing their band on the road in the playoffs. It's not up to the home team.

Are you saying that you don't enjoy a rendition of "Eye of the Tiger" performed by 6 trumpets, one saxaphone, and a bewildered kid playing snare drum? Because I think it's good old-fashioned entertainment.

..right now NU just asking for a gm 3.. no discipline.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University HEA Quarterfinals

Rawlings in beanpotesque form... 3 goals on 6 shots. Witt is just so better with simple matters of hugging the post, cutting down hiw angles. Hell, goals 2 and 3 were simple matters of positioning. NU hasn't even played too badly. Such a shame through period 1. Need to score next one or seeya sunday.

Discipline meltdown.. not good.
Goalie meltdown.. never good.

BU playing for their season & it shows..
maybe 3 gms is how this should go (given season head to head these 2 have had)...

The reffs have been terrible. How about that phantom trip call? I'm losing my voice yelling at Bunyon. Nice pass to riukka from hewkin for his goal.

Quailer has been OUTSTANDING. Hes made a lot of great small plays.

3-2 games up for the taking.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University HEA Quarterfinals

Don't care who you play.. when you give an opponent close to a dozen powerplays (whether they score or not).. takes a bit out of ya..

this movie continues..

Coach had better address discipline or we will not solve this.
See you gm 3. Have a nice wknd all.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University HEA Quarterfinals

I raised a fake white flag after that chiasson tripping call. That was atrocious. Though the late 3rd period interference call on Coyle wasn't much better, and neither was the no-call on the identical play 30 seconds later with the jerseys reversed.
