Expect BC at the Garden. Book it!

They look like a dangerous team getting hot can they run 4 straight to HE title and sneak into NCAA’s

Doesn't work like that, they reseed going into the semis. If we win and BC wins, we automatically play Friday.

Looking like BC. What year did #8 BU (Who only got to #8 and a playoff slot when they pulled their goalie in a tie game against UNH) beat BC at Conte? We’re gonna pay for that aren’t we?

Looks like we get Vermont.

Didn’t we already pay for that a few times?

Ahhh...., I see that now. The HE brackets on the CHN website aren't clear about the re-seed after the quarters.

BC still has to play at Merrimack on their small rink which should favor Merrimack.

I suppose I shouldn't have wished so hard to not play BC on Saturday cuz now there's a chance we'd get them at the Garden if we win. So here's a question, should the universe screw me over and my planets go all out of alignment and both BU and BC win on Saturday, does NESN again make them the nightcap instead of the early game as they should be?

The last time BC played BU in semis it was the first game so I think there's your answer. With BU as #1 seed it should then be early game. But of course that did not happen in 2009.

There's never really a clear answer on this. Did the league/NESN come to some agreement post 2009 where top seed was given nightcap? Or maybe some year after that?

[Jofa]

I think both BU and BC lucked out not matching up next. Takes the extra emotional element out of the next round though both could just as easily lose the one and done format. A little less stressful for all and of they do meet on Friday atleast it will happen at the Garden and they both will have made the more prestigious venue. I say the two teams are equal bets at this point but much more important to BC which probably gives them an edge.

I do not recall this last time. Oh wait....was that Parker's last season? And if so, was it the first game? And why don't I remember that? I'm sure there are multiple reasons why.

And Jofa - uhhhhhhhhhhh LESS stressful to meet on Friday? For who????? Obviously not for me. Can't speak for the rest of you. And now that we've sufficiently discussed, watch neither BU nor BC win on Saturday.

2018. BC was #1 seed.

I actually was referring to this Saturday as less stress for both teams BUT I also would rather lose to BC or anyone at the Garden it’s less of a failure and they are going to NCAA anyway. That said let’s worry about beating UVM they are playing every one well for awhile even in the recent BU sweep

I need to take ginkgo boloba or something.

While BC is capable of beating a good team in one game, they have done nothing this year to convince me that are capable of the consistency necessary to do it four times in a row. I fully expect their season ends at Merrimack, where even their best teams have struggled over the years.
