    Fighting Hawks Falls was already sold out. Worcester will still have about 5000 fans and Bridgeport will be a Friends and Family crowd. Allentown is the wildcard. Be interesting to see if the BTHC can pack that building with both OSU and Pedo State there.

          I think 5000 is low for Worcester. 2 locals, cornell travels and Michigan is brand name.

            Ticket takers will outnumber fans in Bridgeport. And you know it
            Actually the largest crowd will be the ND band. Picked up seats for the weekend for $40 each, two rows behind the net.

                  Maybe. They drew 8742 for a BU-BC regional final, but that was 12 years ago. Attendance at the Garden was over 18,000 for Hockey East back then. It was 10,000 last night. We'll see what Worcester can do...

                      They finished the season with back-to-back losses and weaseled their way into the tournament through the back door thanks to all four teams they needed help from coming through for them. I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be there, because based on the PWR they should be. I'm just saying they didn't earn it on their own when they had every opportunity to. They had to rely on other teams helping them out. That's why I view them as no better than North Dakota or Minnesota. No way they'll beat St. Cloud next weekend if they even survive Mankato, which would surprise me.

                      National championships won by NCHC schools : 21 (North Dakota 8, Denver 8, MN-Duluth 3, Colorado College 2, St. Cloud State 0, Miami 0, NE-Omaha 0, Western Michigan 0)

                      23 > 21

                        I've got Michigan, Mankato, Penn State, and Notre Dame at the Frozen Four.

                          The season lasts longer than one weekend. Over the course of the last six months their body of work was more desevring than Minnesota or North Dakota.

                            Anyone surprised to see all 3 HE teams in the same regional, they don't want to see a repeat of the Anaheim Frozen 4 with 3 Hockey East and Mich State in it so this makes that impossible

                              I've got almost exactly the opposite. UMD, Denver, Northeastern and Notre Dame.

                              I'm really picking Northeastern because I want to hear the games on WRBB

                                I'm really surprised since Providence is in Bridgeport.
