#1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

......here we go again. I am very excited and love this match-up. Go NU!

It'll be a breath of fresh air at the Garden with no BU...well done, Huskies.

Well already got the tickets and ready to go. Would be nice to get some post beanpot revenge. One thing I know: Go Merrimack.

NU definitely can't play with UNH. (Not a shot at BC but for whatever reason NU has the mojo against them.)

I would take NU over UNH, personally, if it happened to get that far.

I want UNH to win, of course, but an NU / Merrimack final would mean that at least three teams from Hockey East would make the NCAAs (BC and UNH should make it - BC will, UNH should - and then NU / Mack gets an autobid). If UNH doesn't make the final, then I'm happy as long as BC doesn't - nothing personal, it's just good for the league. BC's a #1 seed anyway . . .

Correction: of course . . . Merrimack is already a lock for an at-large bid. Probably a #2 seed in Bridgeport.

So, I am rooting for a NU v. UNH final, and could live with NU winning 5-4 in multiple OTs.

dont understand why the games are such. i for one HATE the early game. dont know how they decide that, is it the #1 seeds's choice?

I believe so, yes; common wisdom is that you play the early game to get more rest. Also, being in that second game, you arrive at 6:40pm or so, get dressed, are ready for warm-ups, and then sit around. How many times we seen multiple-OT games at the Garden? Sitting around waiting, dressed and ready to go, not knowing when you're playing . . . I guess I'd rather play early, too.

Merrimack is locked in for an at-large bid. They do not need to win Hockey East.

that's what i thought as it was brought up the past few years but if i am not mistaken, it was never made clear and if it was, i forgot which wouldn't be surprising;)
 
Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

it'll be pretty quiet in there after 7:30 i bet.............
