The three eastern sites combine to average 2,198 through the regular season, with Bentley contributing over half of that, so it's not like the low crowds this weekend were an outlier.

If the average was 2,198, 700 is indeed an outlier.

And if the regular season average was 2,198, what do you think the draw would be for a finals?

Alright I'll add Bentley to the maybe list. But RIT ran into same spring break stuff and still drew a lot better than 700...

COMBINED to average 2,198. That's just over 730 per site.

Regardless of the AFA final score, the Saturday games will be interesting.

AIC-Army and Bentley-RMU series both going to a 3rd game, Niagara-AFA all tied up in the 2nd. Looks like all the quarterfinal series are going to go 3 games. Parity in the regular season continues into the post season. Gotta loveit.

With Niagara's sweep tonight, RIT will be no lower than the third seed of the four teams there. RIT will be in the late game if either AIC or Bentley win. If RMU and Army both win on Sunday, RIT would be the highest seed.

It's hard to believe Air Force got swept ... at home ... by Niagara.

That statement gets harder and harder to believe as you continue. I'm shocked. And afraid of Niagara, haha

Look at the box score. AFA gets the first 13 SOG in the second period. Niagara only gets two SOG in the period, 16:47 and 16:58, and score on BOTH of them. Billy the Greek, First Team AHA goalie, makes ZERO saves in the second period. AFA outshoots Niagara 34-5 during the last 40 minutes of the game, but both teams score two goals each during that span.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many blocked shots by AF, though? That may at least have something to do with the low shot numbers from NU.

Still surprising though. Purps are a force to be reckoned with this year.
 
With 5X the student body, I sure hope so.
That's exactly right. If RIT were drawing as well as AIC, RIT would be turning 2000+ away every home game. Yes, I know adjusting for school size doesn't increase revenue or decrease most costs, but some people need to get off their high horses, stop picking at nits, and enjoy the **** games. I swear, you'd think with the way some people go on that game attendance is somehow a moral virtue. God forbid that a student goes to the library instead, or an alum goes to his kids' games instead of the alma mater's.

This topic drives me nuts.

This may help you answer that question.

There's a column labeled Bl but I'm not sure what that means.

According to the advanced metrics on collegehockeynews.com, Air Force out attempted Niagara 177-79 over the 2 game series. That's nuts.

Robert Morris just beat Bentley in OT. RIT will need to take their white jerseys to Buffalo. RIT will be no lower than the 2nd seed in the semifinals. If Army wins, RIT is the top seed.

If AIC wins, RIT takes on Niagara in the late semi as the home team. If Army wins, RIT plays Army in the early semi.

2,3, and 4 seeds go down. Can AIC hold serve?
