Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past
Originally posted by J.D. View PostI skimmed through that list. I remember when the Pot was on channel 68. Think as late as '98? And I think it was more than just the BU games. Not sure when NESN got in on the action. And of course much better crowds in general as you go back in time. Even for NCAA regionals.Originally posted by J.D. View PostI also encourage you to watch the beginning of that '95 Beanpot open. Wow, imagine announcers dressing like that today! Looks more like a wedding.Originally posted by Scarlet View PostIf I’m not mistaken, that was the last Beanpot in the Garden and that’s why they did that.
NESN has been rebroadcasting past championship games, but they are edited to fit into their 2 hour time slots. Right now NESN is showing the 2005 championship game in HD, which I'm recording as I only have it on tape in SD. I'm considering editing the two together, using the SD to put back in what NESN edited out of the rebroadcast.
And yes, 1995 was the final Beanpot held in the Boston Garden and that is why they wore tuxs. They wore regular suits the next five years it was on Channel 68.
BTW, I converted the all the '87 games and the '89 semifinals and I'm uploading them to my drive.

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past
I watched Game 2 of the 1990 NCCA Quarters from Munn Arena in East Lansing Michigan. (defkit was there!). Some observations:
- The lack of time and score on the screen is truly barbaric. And the announcers don't help by rarely updating either.
- How great is the play-by-play dude's 'stache! (I wish I was smart enough to post a picture here.)
- Dave Tomlinson was suspended for this game! Parker got into a nose-to-nose screaming match with the ref at the end of Game 1!
- The team looked lost in the first period and was down 1-0 on MSU's first shot of the game (on a mini-breakaway). Passing was terrible and the game had zero flow.
- Bryan Smolinksi (Who had a nice pro career. His first three seasons with the Bruins.) got tossed for spearing! This 5 minute major woke up BU
- Kip Miller's stat line for the 1989-1990 season is jaw dropping. 48-50-98. My God.
- Joe Sacco got a 10 minute misconduct for *****ing about a penalty call. (A call that was an absolute mugging. )
- MSU had a player named Kerry Russell. Hee! (That one's for you Scarlet.)
- Ron Mason never pulled his goalie at the end of a 5-3 game!? Did he think it was a total goals series? Did he not see the 2009 Terrier comeback? Oh, wait....
- McEachern and Amonte were stupid fast.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Game 3 turns out. Go BU!It Happened!!!!

Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostYes, Channel 68 televeised the Beanpot semifinals and final from 1995 through 2000. The earliest tapes I have are the '87 Beanpot, which was televised by NESN (semifinals and consolation game) and Channel 38 (championship game). I'm not sure if that continued for the next year or two, but by 1991 NESN was broadcasting both the semifinals and final. NESN got the rights back with the 2001 Beanpot and have been televising it since.

It is true that the MSU fans never in a million years thought they would lose that series, and some of them were trying to sell their FF tickets to us before we left Munn. They were the number 1 team in the country, but we beat them 3 out of 4 times that season.
Good times.BU Hockey: The trophy case is once again growing

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past
Watching the '95 Beanpot final. A few thoughts:
1. The officiating was terrible.
2. BU looked like they were playing pond hockey with all the dangles and creative plays.
3. Who was the bc punk who cut up Jay Pandolfo's hand?Boston University CAS'88
GO BU!

Thanks to defkit I have watched and converted the 1986 Hockey East championship game. I'm uploading it, along with the 1985 Hockey East championship game and the 1988 Beanpot semifinals to my Google drive

Speaking of the 2006 Beanpot final, it was interesting to see the Garden Ice painted for the Beanpot. I'm like, what? NHL Strike? No, Olympics break!
John Curry was awesome. Having an awesome goalie is awesome.It Happened!!!!

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past
I know you've told that story numerous times, defkit, but I forgot it was only game 3. So good.
The offensive #'s on that MSU team are unreal. Like, only 10% of today's NCAA players reach those #'s for their entire career in college. Can you imagine if Jack Eichel got to shoot on skinny flopping goalies with no equipment?
I rode on the bus with the pep band to the Final Four (It wasn't "Frozen" yet.) That was my first taste of that entire experience. Complete with a trip to Don Cherry's sports bar in Windsor Canada. Good times indeed.
