The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

Also:

-The home and away designations are determined by a coin flip
-The games do not count in the Hockey East standings when conference teams play one another
-The consolation game can end in a tie
-BC, not actually in Boston

Did I miss anything?

And what are the predictions for the excuses if BC loses?

Do I have to state the excuses in advance or can I just think them up as the day progresses?

Seriously, not sure what the lineup will look like for BC tonight with injury issues (hello excuses). Personally, and I'm not BSing, I kinda have a bad feeling about this especially if Hayes is out or far from 100%.

If BC has issues against BU with Hayes not at 100%, then BC is a much weaker team than I thought. BU can barely field a team at this point. I know BC's scoring is top heavy, but I think BC has a good amount of depth to handle a team on a 1-8-2 streak.

That 80's Radio Shack commercial last night should have featured an NU player holding up the Beanpot.

I kind of have a bad feeling too, oddly.

I'll believe it when I see it. A scalper would never do that, but maybe a disgruntled fan from the losing team. I paid $40 for my lower bowl seat.

i must have neglected to fill in what seats i want ( i always choose the cheaper because i prefer balcony) So they gave me two $40 loge, right behind the goal, row 7. NO THANK YOU!!! I will go into the balcony as always and around the face off circle to blue line, in the BC section i will find seats no higher than 3rd row. What a dope i am!

2nd game always starts 45 min after the completion of the first game. Which always seems to be well after 8:00.

I'll be at my son's crossing over from Webelos to Boy Scouts. (Darn these kids and their meddling activities!) He's lucky we don't live in New England, else his dad would be FaceTiming from the Gahden. :p

Why not just grab the Zamboni, give it a shot, and have a shootout?

If you mean players get to shoot while driving the Zamboni, you might have just had the best consolation game idea in history.

See, this one sucks. Why not just grab the Zamboni, give it a shot, and have a shootout? It's no big deal.

Because the only thing dumber than a shootout to decide a hockey game is a "shootout" to "decide" a "hockey game" that doesn't count in the standings or in the pairwise rankings. Ain't nobody got time for that.
 
Re: The 2014 Beanpot: The 25th Times a Charm

Since every college hockey team I root for is doomed to ignominious failure, I should perhaps leave NU alone this year and root for BU. Who with my luck will win Beanpot 3,456.

Eh, we disagree. I'm not a fan of shootouts during the regular season, but since it's a tournament, I'm okay with it.
