Yes, we are no longer UNH South where it used to be like a home game for them and UML would actively market to UNH fans to get them to come down to get $ and put bodies in seats.

Yeah, it's nice :) Hope it continues tonight when it'll be easier for fans from Boston to get there.

The regular announcer for the past few years moved on. It's been sort of "announcer by committee" this year and it's finally settled in with the boring guy last night and on Saturdays, we use the one from the Garden you hear for the HE championships. Unfortunately he must not be available Fridays. :(

Don't know what was up with the scoreboard. There were extra HE people behind the glass last night like Bunyon running video review along with our usual guy so maybe too many cooks in the kitchen led to some goof ups. That's all I can think of as normally never any issues with putting up penalties, etc.

Yes, some of the Super Eight MIAA was there I believe last week.

I didn't recognize the guy from last night at all, actually, but didn't like him at all. I didn't notice anything with the scoreboard; what was going on that I missed?

Also, the MIAA games were as late as Thursday; they were starting to arrive as I was picking up some tickets for people on the way home from work.

Rooting for the Chiefs (I am not a river pigeon) I have an ingrained inferiority complex. Sort of like rooting for the Sox. People lil's age can't remember when they sucked. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around them being consistently good.

If last's night's announcer wasn't our usual Friday one, he certainly carried himself in the same robotic and boring tone. Hope the Saturday guy is there tonight.

A couple times with the score board they put up the wrong penalty time and so on. I chalk it up to extra guys behind the glass that were messing things up for our usual crew in there. The only other thing was on the screen when they'd go to a crowd shot and the wireless camera would be all fuzzy but that's been a problem many times this season.

The guy last night is named Pete Mundy, and I've known him for quite some time (I used to work with him). He usually does radio and high school football PA. He also fills in as the Spinners PA sometimes.

The first penalty that was put on the board as 1:30, which is the length of penalty time for high school games. When Lowell had a penalty, then got another one, scorekeeper guy put :20 up instead of 2:00. They had to clear both out and then repost them.

Ewwww? Will you be able to go tonight? And seriously? You had to miss the game babysitting an Amherst *****hat? Why didn't you bring him to the game and show him what it's like to have a hockey team?

Tonight is dinner with faculty at a sportish bar. Unfortunately being 2k miles away makes it pretty impossible to be at any game prior to Tampa.

take up smoking so you can listen to the game for 5 minutes at a time every 20 minutes or so

Was good to see Susie (Suzie?) and other long-time BU fans at Beer Works before the game. :)

How many heading to the game today?

Susie as in Susanne. The 'z' ticks her off. We hope to get there by 5.

Nice to see you guys and to meet riverchief1.

How late does the Sunday brunch serve? :)

I think the two Boston Beer Works locations also have Sunday brunch menu items so you wouldn't have to drive all the way up to Lowell just for brunch, no need to go out of your way. :D

When he first came on I could've sworn it was Sean McDonough.

Driving (passenger Scarlet :P) up on rt 3, and a BU fan is waving a BU scarf out of his window.

Cool.
