We're even for the call that led to the Grizz PP winner
If Zegras and Farrance wanna go pro ASAP, I'm cool with that. They're great...
What a 2nd period by NU...one of the best periods I've seen in the 14 years I've been watching NU hockey. Zach Solow is becoming one of my all-time favorite players, dude scores so many big goals...hopefully we get 17 back soon.

That conversation was centered around attendance. So why would the first Monday only draw 13k? Is that the SB hangover effect?
I think the word "only" is where our views diverge. My take is that we're in a new age where folks consume their entertainment, including sports, primarily on their device(s) of choice. Sold out houses are becoming the exception. There are NHL and NBA games that don't draw 13K.

Right but I am just curious why the difference between the Mondays. With 4 teams involved you'd think more people the first Monday. That's why I am curious about the SB factor. I could be way off, but it's not like weather was a factor.

I personally believe that has a lot to do with it. The Patriots have been in the Super Bowl so often in the last 20 years (which coincides with the period of "decline" regarding the Beanpot attendance that we have been talking about), it can't be a coincidence. The Beanpot has had to take a back seat in the media as a result. And this year there was still local interest with the whole Jimmy G thing.
And I'm not saying to move it either, because I'm not sure that would make a significant difference. Instead, it's just one of those coincidental things that nobody has any control over.
What was the call in overtime officially? Holding or tripping? It's not on the box score (although a 10-MC for Trevor Zegras berating the officials is on the box score which is odd) since anything after the 5:00 mark didn't officially happen. This "didn't exist" after the 5 minutes of OT stuff is interesting. I guess MCs and DQs might count, but not goals or assists or minor penalties? We're really straying into some stupid territory with this IMO.

The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.
