I was on the opposite side of the arena, so my angle was bad. But, I heard all pipe, and the puck seemed to immediately shoot back out, which is highly unlikely if it went off the interior post. If it hit the outside (red) post and came out, there's a 0% chance it's a goal. But again, my angle was bad. Probably should've at least been reviewed, but did it really matter? The game was long over at that point.
Did Cronin ask for a replay, appear to argue? If he didn't even argue, I'd suspect it was no goal.

In fairness, there was very little for the BU fans who were there to actually cheer about. It was an utterly atrocious performance from BU.
First, Agganis is north of Matthews, technically. And I couldn't hear you over the BU band, so not really. There were more Maine fans at Agganis in November. And while more students will be gone, I'd expect a few more of the non-students since it's a non-school/work night. But a performance like that will leave them all silent again.
Highlights on HE Online really show how pro-NU the crowd was.
North, South, East, West whatever.
Well that makes you, the BU alum I was next to noted that it was like a home game for Northeastern.
And yes, the BU fans had little to cheer about. BU played very poorly. NU played very well but they also spent half the game killing penalties. They stay out of the box and they'll have a chance tomorrow night.
Yep, very true. Felt like there were many more NU fans, especially with them all gathered up in one area. Do the students in 108 ever think about joining those in 118 to form a more cohesive fan section for these games? Just a thought, since there were plenty of seats available. Wouldn't have even filled Walter Brown tonight....
Very sad. I loved going to Walter Brown even as a visiting fan. The atmosphere was great. That has certainly taken a hit at Agganis with a few exceptions. I go to a lot of college hockey games each year and when Merrimack is not playing, I try to head to an NU, Lowell, BC or Harvard game as it costs a lot less and there is less aggrevation. $26 a pop and then $10 for parking or taking the green line above ground is not fun. I still go to BU games, but it's difficult and I'm still young so I don't have a family of four. That raises the cost significantly compared to a buddy and I going to a hockey game.

Sure it felt like a home game for Northeastern, your team played well and gave the few hundred of your fans a good amount to cheer about where our guys played like they all had concussions and gave BU fans nothing to cheer about. And please leave your band at home tomorrow, they were the only thing in the arena tonight that performed worse than the BU hockey team.
I agree, BU has priced out many of the local hockey fans looking to see a good game, and refuses to take cues from other programs, like BC, who offer discounted tickets to the chump games that no one goes to anyway. $28 at the box office or $34 online for a quarterfinal game, or a November game against Brown is ridiculous.
It was Matthews Arena South tonight. Will probably be worse tomorrow with BU on Spring Break.

not bad for a thursday night QF i suppose
$30 a ticket for NU students is real pricey, good thing we actually like our team AND have jobs...
Same can't be said for BU fans, student sections were lacking fans and enthusiasm AND they have no jobs..
No one from Northeastern argued the call. I thought it hit all post, but I thought it at least warranted a review. But if Cronin didn't feel the need to say anything, then I'd say there's a good chance it wasn't a goal.
