Manch Regional

So far the B1G definitely the best conference. Minny and Ohio State destroyed their opponents. Penn State has already scored early in the first. Michigan likely to beat Colgate. So they'll have four of the final eight. So much for the "great" NCHC. Only one team left already.

And I DO like Starman...I think his analysis is excellent...if he'd just stop the constant promoting for the NCHC.

Was that the game when the MN fans were doing their M-I-N-N...chant after a goal and BU scored while they were doing it? IIRC BU won that game 7-4, or something like that. Correct me if I'm misremembering.

I think you are mixing two memories. In the '94 semis in Minneapolis, we beat the Gophers 4-1 behind 2 Mike Pomichter goals. Minnesota had scored to make it 3-1 BU (I think) and while the large home crowd was doing their M-I-N-N...chant, Steve Thornton banged home a rebound to restore the 3 goal cushion. It was beautiful. I choose to forget what happened two nights later. In '95 at Providence Civic Center, we beat Minnesota 7-3. The goal I remember most was Shawn Bates intercepting a cross-ice pass and going in on a breakaway to open up a big lead. I don't think there were enough fan sto get a long M-I-N-N chant going win that game. And then we beat some team from Maine for the title... :-).

Ahhh, right. It was in St. Paul. Good times.

All? Were the ones on the ends on sale or is the tarp still down?

Ends not on sale. They are obstructed view because of the temporary video screens hung in front of them. Doubt the ends will go on sale.

edit: upper on one side has about 30 tix available, other side maybe 50% available. Going to be close to a ticket sell out.

edit: two upper sections sold out, parts of four more upper sections in the corners now available. I don’t think they can go any further towards the ends. Should be a great atmosphere.

I'm gonna say at least 6k here. That's what you're looking for.

Sadly, that's not saying much this year.
