Is this the year we finally get the first-ever Northeastern-Harvard final????

Where would you move it without giving one of four participating teams home ice advantage?

Agganis Arena?

Not sure of your math with that prediction. Do you not know about your back to back titles in the 80s??

Anyhoo, why am I not surprised about BC advancing?

For the first time in what seems forever, I’m on my couch watching instead of being there in person. Been dealing with a serious family medical issue the past week and I’m pretty wiped. Long day at work tomorrow, didn’t want to get home late. But, I’ll be there in spirit, wishing my Terriers luck. Which they will need. But it’s the Beanpot. And it’s....well, I love the Beanpot. I love supporting a school that’s a part of it. Win or lose I love my school. And I’m excited to watch. Go BU!!

BC mobbing their goalie and throwing sticks and gloves into the air for winning a non conference game was certainly....something.

Guess not. An amazing stat.

Check Stub Hub. Cheapest ticket was $45 per at 9:30am, is now $30. They will continue to dive as the day goes on. That's what I plan on doing (Buying a ticket at 5pm)

Does it get to a point where they pay you to take the ticket?

Tough crowd when you’re finally a defending champ....... prolly more that they won the Beanpot opener as an under dog in a so far awful season but what do I know ?

I don't remember the Beanpot always falling the Monday after SB. Not sure on the year the NFL pushed the SB back a year but with the Patriots routinely in it I just don't have that same level of excitement leading up to the Beanpot. You build up to the SB and then you're dead tired the next day. Perfect spot to just watch the Pot on TV.

Oh and seemed like a fairly obvious hook leading to NUs goal

It didn't, until the NFL started having bye weeks which pushed the SB back to February.

Wouldn’t be popular with the Beanpot purists, but they should move the opening round to Thursday night. Day after the Super Bowl is terrible scheduling.

I think this would be a good move. Students and young alumni working in the city are more likely to go out on a Thursday than a Monday, IMO. At worst, you'd get the same crowds but with a few days of media hype after the SB to drum up some interest it might get a boost.
