I was there too. I think Game 3 was shown in the Case Gym. Good times.

If they cared about attendance, they also wouldn't have games at 2PM during a work / school day.

Tough call - I think BC has the "easiest" bracket (as they should being the #1 overall seed - and made "easier" by virtue of Michigan Tech getting in) - other than that I think it is pick your poison.

Agree -anytime you get to the Frozen 4 it is a successful season - and don't count this team out. Agree BC has to be favored to win it all, but if we get another shot at them it is far from a foregone conclusion that BC wins. Im sure the players would like another shot at them too.
No, and I don’t think it defines the whole. But I rarely encounter stuff like that and was really disappointed by it. I lived up in Bangor for about 6 months too and never noticed that kind of stuff, so I agree it was a one-off.
RIT With and older heavier team with a good goalie could be a serious challenge and we better get on themearly. The other team that is hot is Omaha and this is nearly a home game.
Personally, I think the toughest bracket is Maryland Heights (St. Louis) with North Dakota, Michigan, and even Western Michigan could be a sneaky sleeper.
But none of that matters. We have to beat whatever team shows up to play on any given day, and that could include BC. We start with RIT and go from there.
I agree that BC is a war wagon this year, but we all would like another shot at them - who wouldn't?
Ohhhhhh, mookie.
Games tomorrow, so let's talk some hockey.
- Harvey was kind of invisible last weekend. He had a couple of looks, but missed the net badly. We need to see some Celebrini/Harvey synergy tomorrow evening
- Shane's gotta shoot more
- Hughes has gotta work on his aim (or just pass more. He too had a rough two days at the Garden. I get why NU fans didn't shed a tear when he left.)
- Quinn needs to slow down down his game a bit. He rushes his process in big games (See Beanpot Final wrap around that should have been a goal.)
- Is Zabs okay? Seemed to tweak his knee Saturday night. We need his speed and grit
- Stevens and Peterson need to continue to get to the dirty areas and use their competitiveness and muscle to get a dirty goal (or two)
- Stay out of the box Luke Tuch. I'm begging you.
- Where did the Wilmer Wizardry go? Need more of that
- I love "Lane Hutson things" but he's trying to do too much. Breath Lane.
- Caron needs to just not have to face the BC powerplay 5 times

I can't comment on any of that Bomber (other than I agreed Harvey was kind of invisible - where was the magic with Macklin, who was also kind of invisible on Saturday). I have no idea what to expect. I did see this posted over on the Maine thread, though:
And now my anxiety has started to rise. I had planned to quote my post from back in January from right after the game at BC about how that was the second game this season in a tough road environment where they didn't rise to the occasion (Cornell at MSG being the first). At both the Beanpot and Hockey East, they were able to win the first game but not come through in the championship, where there was something on the line. I'm hoping that trend doesn't continue.

RIT is #23 in Pairwise with shutout wins over Clarkson and Notre Dame, but they're 56th in strength of schedule, while BU remains #1. Still expecting a strong challenge from them. Tigers have a very good goalie. Hoping BU tuned up the power play this week because RIT takes a lot of penalties. On IBUH, Pandolfo said everyone is available to play although a few didn't practice Monday. Webber?.
Lots of info on RIT on the blog today along with IBUH & BHB/THT podcasts.

We contributed to this in 2018 when we knocked off #1 Cornell.

Dear ESPN announcer, our goalie is not the Muslim holy book. It's kuh-RON. A whole game of this will drive me nuts.
Denver surived v. UMess so that "at least one #1 has lost in the opening round" card has yet to play.
