I think it is great for the Beanpot tournament. It is great for NU obviously. NUs fan base has always been a great fired up fan base and it is great for them as well. But no, I don’t see how it is necessarily better or worse for Hockey East.
And big congrats to the Huskies. Impressive game!

I was thinking the same thing....
You know how those teams are picked. Pedigree (i.e. where you play) is a big factor. Until NU wins something their players will fly under the radar. And just as well anyway. The Olympic team is going to get smoked.

I can tell you are not a HE fan.
NU had by far the most fans at the Garden. They don't need a victory to get fired up. Good for the Beanpot yes, but I see no connection to them winning being "good for Hockey East" except maybe being a small boost to their at-large chances and having multiple teams in the NCAAs in this horrible league season.

The same team or teams always winning it makes it far less interesting.
I'll tell you, I LIKE women's bb, but once my team is out, I don't watch another game, much less look up who won. I don't care. It's always UConn, basically. BORING.
The men's game, I pay attention the year's my team doesn't even make the tourney, because it's interesting, no one knows who is going to win.
Same with the Beanpot, I never used to care, it was uninteresting. But lately its become interesting again. I even directed a bunch of cbb fans to come check it out tonight.
