    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    I think we just saw rope-a-dope on ice. It worked.

    BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026

    Now you know why I loathe and despise the resellers but not as much as I do the primary sellers/venues that feed these scumbags in the first place.

    BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026

    I share your dismay about TD Garden and most other MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL venues selling out to the likes of StubHub/Seat Geek, et al for some marginal bucks. But I'm not aware that TD Garden isn't holding back the usual allotments for the four competing schools' student sections, donors, etc. Please...

    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    To a couple of your points: The pairwise is no more. Replaced by something called the NPI (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/npi) Exhibitions are just glorified practices. They don't count in any standings or rating systems I'm assuming that both teams used this as an opportunity to...

    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    The term, "Jekyll and Hyde" has been used several times on this board over the past few seasons to describe NU's seemingly inconsistent week-to-week results. And it looks like that might apply again. Compared to last week's blah outing vs Army, last night's performance was as dominating as...

    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    Actually, things have gradually improved since Steve Metcalf took over and brought in Brian Murphy as Supervisor of Officials. Fact of the matter is that officials call games the way the league that pays them wants them called and the current regime doesn't seem to favor ticky-tack calls that...

    Embarrassing as the attendance was, NU still outdrew Michigan at Providence by a goodly margin. BU also down (~3,700).

    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    Army did a nice job keeping the NU attack on the perimeter for much of the game, which limited quality shots. The few they got from close-in went wide. Defensively, limiting an opponent to two goals is usually a good thing but thought that both Army goals coming from where they did a bit...

    Traveling over the weekend so didn't see the game. Kinda surprised at the low attendance number though (~3,100).

    Pro to NCAA hockey recruiting?

    I am in 100% agreement with TimothyA for the reasons stated. I have had the opportunity (misfortune?) to have lived in several ECHL cities where the players were essentially one step removed from the welfare rolls (except for the NHL draft mistakes who were spending their big signing bonuses)...

    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    Well, venerable Matthews Arena lives on after it was originally supposed to have hosted its last event last Spring. But now it's like piling into the basements of certain storied Boston watering holes to continue the revelry long after legal closing time. But the countdown clock continues to...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Not to my knowledge. And given the cold winters and otherwise fickle weather, I can't see construction taking any less than three years to complete. It's going to be the proverbial long, cold winter for NU fans.

    Who's next for a move up to D1?

    URI has always been coveted by Hockey East. It is the only New England state university without a D1 hockey program and remains the logical choice to round out Hockey East membership. But that's not likely to happen. Various sources have approached URI with open checkbooks going back years...

    Who's next for a move up to D1?

    A nice thought but slim chance of ever happening. Let's start with $$$$ and Title IX. Then go on to Football and hoops interests not being even remotely willing to share the pie with hockey. (See Illinois, University of.) BTW, the ACHA is a Get Out of Jail Free Card to college athletic...

    BU Hockey '24-'25: Reloaded for another Frozen Four run

    Also tipping the helmet from the other side of the Fenway for being one of the last two standing--a notable accomplishment in itself. WRT fan followings, let's remember that Boston, (and most of New England) is first and foremost a pro sports area. College sports also has its following but is...
