    come to think of it, you're right, i was at the face off circle last year for UVM and ME...................my opinion? doesnt matter just buy the cheapest and you can almost sit where you want. even if they sell out which, sadly, they won't, all the people are never in the building at the same time so there are always good seats in between the blue lines or very close to them...............

      Oh boy... 2nd trip to the Garden for my huskies in ten years. That makes this season special whether they lose or win on Fri/Sat. I did pick BC>UNH in the finals.

      I am going to pick NU > BC... that sounds extremely homer immediately but I will explain why:
      (1) Muse and this BC senior class have been anything but excellent versus NU
      (2) NU beat BU in a 3 game series, that is substantial in itself. I NEVER thought that was possible. I think there's a bit of something special with this team and it wouldn't be right for me to have some faith in their mojo in the semis.
      (3) I still think NU is a bit hungry after losing that beanpot goaltending massacre.
      (4) Outstanding record versus a top 5 team in the nation means that NU has BC's number compared to some other teams

      This all combines to a very close game where one team will have their heartbroken, and what the hell, why not make it the other bench for a change NU? I have faith in them because they did it to BU this weekend, I never thought after the Bourque goal and other disasters I would see NU beat BU in anything that matters.

        I don't deny that BC wants badly to win HE but I gotta think NU wants it more. An NU win gives us a shot at our first HE title since 1988 and a chance for an NCAA bid; a loss ends our season. BC is going to be a 1 seed either way and they will still have a chance to capture their ultimate goal of a national title.

        To me, because there is so much more at stake for NU, I gotta think our guys want it more.

          BC has been in this position before--facing a team at the Garden whose season was on the line. Recent examples are the 2008 HE title game against Vermont and last year's against Maine. It's futile for fans to argue which team wants it more. They both want it equally. NU remembers the Beanpot, BC remembers their last loss. Once the puck is dropped, there's one goal for both teams. Win.

            There is something wrong with a hockey player in this position if they don't want to win. I agree, it is a fool's errand to claim one team wants it more than the other. How can one possibly ever measure that? Have to imagine both teams want to win badly.

            BC knows how to win these games. NU still has to prove they can.

                Outstading record? Since when is 1-2-1 outstanding? I have to laugh at the fact that ever since that Beanpot final week people have been talking about how they have "BC's number" when in fact the three games went 1-1-1 for each team.

                NU has been hot and will be tough to beat but you can toss that arguement out the door.

                    sure, and NU has been what? 13-6 -6 since 11/18? so after a rough start they've played good ,solid hockey for some time now. this is not a mirage or a situation where it's just BC they are playing well against.............

                          Uhm, I was talking about over four years(senior class record). If you don't think NU ( as a commonly unranked program ) plays BC (one of the best programs in the nation) extremely well compared to other programs... well... your plain wrong.

                            Go back to the last page.. BC's senior class is 6-7 and something against a commonly unranked husky team. Come on, NU has some number. BC should have a much better record than that.

                              Congrats on that "outstanding" record. No wonder why NU hasn't won anything since the 80's, they have such low standards. Not even a UNH fan would brag about a 6-7 record against BC.

                                they certainly need it more; but its foolish to presume one way or another who wants it more. i guess thats why we actually let them play the game - to find out who wants it more.
