Re: Northeastern 2015-16: Hobey Roy Kenobi and the Freshman Force

Anybody know if this will be televised? Or will I need to buy that stupid "Pack" sports thing to watch these games?

The only game I know of being televised is on NESN/ASN Friday at 7:30, the UML/BU first game. Nothing on NBCSN either as they do a lot of the Notre Dame games. Looks like you're stuck with the crappy "pack" thing.
 
Against teams NU went 0-5 against.

Not much to be taken from it in terms of how the Irish are playing, I don't think. And with a win in the final game against BU (a game that both teams really wanted to win), ND avoided going into the bye on a losing streak, so I don't think momentum is really against the Irish either.

..but this is not that NU team. Anyway, W/L you'd be happy either way.. (right?).. nice problem to have. C'Mon Craig say it.. Go Huskies! :-)

Tom Caron has picked against NU although he thinks that "Northeastern is the best team that is on the road this weekend"

Am I nuts to want to make the trip to South Bend? GoNU.com is offering $15 tickets. Anyone have any insight on how to get there cheaply?

...."there" #homonymproblems

Oh, and fly to Detroit and connect to South Bend

NBCSN has the A10 title game on Friday night and an NHL game on Sunday night, so I think we're out of luck. Can't imagine either of those get bumped.

not that mookie knows firsthand..... but you could prolly hitch and blow the drivers along the way. make a little scratch to buy food and pay for the tickets.

How do you think he is paying for his NU education?

I love the Hockey East network. No worries on paying the $10. I'm a real fan.

..why don't you three get a room & sort things out and leave our NU thread alone.. :)

Haven't they had some games that aren't on NBCSN be on the NBC Sports Live Extra app? Don't know if HE prohibiting that so fans have to pay for the feed.

I'm pretty sure that the teams are allowed to do TV deals for regular season games but these playoff games are now considered Hockey East productions and thus, are not allowed to be part of season deals.

This is correct. Playoffs are run entirely by the various leagues. Ticket sales, media rights, merchandise sales, and anything and everything else that's playoff-related are a big chunk of their annual revenues.

Cheapest? Drive.

I flew to Cleveland (direct on Jetblue) and rented a car and drove the final 3+ hours from there. Not a difficult drive at all.
 
Re: Northeastern 2015-16: Hobey Roy Kenobi and the Freshman Force

My (very lmited) knowledge of the HEA playoff contract is that they're exclusive streamng rights. So NBC could have pcked it up to put on TV, but they can't pick it up just to put it on Live Extra.

..but this is not that NU team.

The NU team that lost to BU in the first round of the Beanpot looked an awful lot like the one that lost to BU at Matthews in the fall, to my eyes.

I think NU has a decent chance in the series, if for no other reason than that they've always seemed to play ND close. I just don't take too much from how the teams are playing. ND has been almost as hot as NU, the main difference has been the strength of schedule.

well.. for both our sakes.. I guess we'll find out soon enough.. that's why they play the gms.. :-)

I did have one question though.. why no ND thread on here this season? Pretty good season in Hockey East and the team is doing well nationally.

Notre Dame had a presence here in the past but zero this season. I think I saw something in a thread this year that they were all ticked about the way they were supposedly being treated on the boards so they just decided to not play here. They're "too good" for this board I guess.
