These bears have as many home wins as the Maine Black (and blue) Bears this season

Too bad 50% of said good crowd left and didn't see Jerry tie the record.

I was there. Didn't really notice the crowd because I was too busy watching the game.

Yup was half empty at the buzzer

The ones that left are called bu fans.

And speaking of bad fans, why don't the fanboys wear face paint anymore? Was there a shortage or did the task force mandate it couldn't be worn anymore so girls could more easily identify their attackers?

Good point. As you know, the two BU fangirls and their male friend sitting in the front row of the section next to us took off with around 4 mins left. Which was shocking because you would think they would have stuck around to celebrate another potential garbage goal after they acted like they just won the Beanpot after the last BU goal in garbage time earlier in the period (where even the BU players didn't celebrate). I'm not sure when the emo crowd over at BU got into hockey but someone should teach these girls a little something about the sport before giving them front row seats. Maybe they thought they were coming to see Panic at the Disco or something. I don't know.

That's gonna leave a mark.

I don't think a single BU fan left before the final buzzer. Actually the BU fans seemed to be calling out BC fans for leaving. Also why was BU singing O Canada? That was weird.

are there boxes all the way around HAA so that there are no open areas to the concourse? I've heard its a jazzed up Tsongas and everyone has good things to say about it but if there are luxury boxes all around so that the concourse is closed in so you can't see the ice from the concourse , well, give me Tsongas, no offense intended, just my preference

I see that the new thing with the superfanboys is that they are now wearing BC Snuggies to games. I saw one at BU on Friday and there was a horde of them on Saturday. If BU fans were wearing them you would be all on top of this, a new low.

I think there is standing room on the ends or at least one of them? That said, Tsongas is easily my favorite arena to watch a game at in the league, though I think they've closed off a lot of the concourse with boxes there too?

Gentry, I think the Snuggie was a security thing for those few BC fans underneath said Snuggie this weekend. Haven't seen them before against any other teams. They must have thought it would take too long to get through a Snuggie and would make it less likely for them to be a sexual assault victim with the BU hockey team in attendance. Not a bad strategy since you can't get pepper spray or any other weapons through the gates of either rink.

In other news, I hear the Terriers have struck a deal with Speedo to become the official sponsor of BU hockey. This money from the sponsorship will allow BU to upgrade their sonar equipment and if there is any left over money they will look into buying new periscopes for the players as well.

you need a pass to enter one end in Tsongas, members only but it's still open to the arena . I had passes for the BC game and was in there, they did a nice job. My favorite arena by far as well, at least until i see HAA

Not quite all the way around, but pretty close. The light blue areas on this map are the only places you can look through from the concourse to the rink. Also the back of 118 is one large standing area, but they normally rope that off and rent it out as a group area, as it can fit more people than any luxury box.

oh ok, i see that. Do people generally stand in those places and watch while they have a cold beer ?

Same here. And at the end of the game, I certainly didn't hear the obnoxious fanboys chanting anything. Even if they were, you couldn't hear them due to the noise being made for York. I'd imagine the shot of the fanboys during the 3rd period and as the buzzer sounded was eerily similar to that famous photo of them crying after BC smoked them in Worcester a few years back.

I don't think a single BU fan left before the final buzzer. Actually the BU fans seemed to be calling out BC fans for leaving.

Congrats, although I did see a few rats scurrying for the exits

I guess I don't understand calling out some opposing fans for leaving "early" when your team just got pasted.

Sad to say we didn't live up to the best of the teddy bear toss events...

This is how to do a Teddy Bear Toss... something to strive for next year!
