Harvard and Northeastern tied 1-1 early in the 2nd.
Thank you, I was just about to open this thread :-)
Though I gotta say, you misspelt 'paht' :-}
Comcast showing the 'pot in high definition in the Boston/Cape Cod area. What a difference. :-P
So, is there a consensus here on who we're rooting for? We hate Sucks, but do we want their non-conference record to stay strong? Do we want to be sure Northeastern stays a TUC?
Wanting to be told what I think,
Beeeej
Any reason we'd want NU to stay a TUC? Taking them out would probably knock down some Hockey East teams. Plus a Harvard win helps our RPI. Plus, there's always just the conference loyalty.
I'd assume we want Hahvahd to win. Conference loyalty and all. Why would we care if NU remains a TUC?
[q]Wanting to be told what I think, [/q]Ooh, give me some time. I'll come up with some good programming/orders for you, sir!
Northeastern ain't losing TUC status without some serious loses. But it'd be cool if they did, cause BC beat them 3 times (and maybe 4 times after this weekend). And BU beat them once with 2 (3?) more coming up.
Ovaaaaaah time
Hahvahd will start the extra period with almost 1:30 of PP
Still in OT, Harvard going back on the PP
Harvard withthe "5th best PP in the nation" is 0-4 tonight and 0-2 in OT
I suppose I'll know if I just wait, but what's the OT format? Endless OT periods until a winner? Or some shootout abomination? :-)
They went right to a 20-minute OT, so I assume it's skate-til-you-drop. That's okay given the tourney format. Plus, there might actually be some fans in the seats by the 2nd OT...
Harvard gets PP #3 in frinkin OT!!!
If they cant score and win this game, man I cant believe the refs havent buried the whistles at this point
Northeastern kills another PP, Harvard uncable to score on the 5:30 of extra man advantage in OT so far. less than 4 minutes in the 1st OT
Northeastern going on the PP with 2:43 left in OT #1 (Noah Welch goes to the box, which will hurt the PK)
Still 1-1 after 80minutes of play
Puck goes past hyphen, and Harvard is out early in 2OT

Harvard sucks :-( :-(
Too bad. Northeastern scores early in the 2nd OT to win 2-1
As much as I hate to say it, Hyphen played an amazing game. Faced a huge number of shots, did a great job of controlling rebounds and pushing/deflecting pucks into the corners instead of holding for faceoffs in the zone...
I hope he is rattled by his tems inability to put some points on the board 5 and a half minutes of extra man advantage in the 1st OT and Sucks cant score!
Anyone else smile seeing that the officials' locker room at Agganis has a sign on the door saying it was "given" by Jack Parker, BU '68? :-)
Harvard sucks.
2-1 BU in the 2nd period of the 2nd game - BU going on the PP
2-1 BU after two. Shots heavily in BC's favor. BU's top goalie has a separated shoulder so they're playing the backup--who has a .867 save percentage YTD.
Matti in the net?

Yes.
Outstanding. Keep scoring, BU!
Beeeej
~7 mins remaining in the 3rd, BU leading BC 2-1. shots about 2:1 in BC's favor
A BU PP ends, 5:25 remaining, 2-1 BU
Somehow harvard's loss pushed us out of the tie with BC for fourth in the pwr, so now we are 5 pending the outcome of the bc game.
One minute to play in the period, one minute...
Jacob, that happened late Saturday
:25, and another faceoff in BU's end coming up
cleared out - icing with 4.8 seconds left
GAME!!
BC loss will drop them (or will it?), but how far?
Well someone at USCHO clearly watching cause that was quick. It drops them back into a tie with us, which we currently win due to RPI.

Not with the bonus points.
Could a Harvard win over BC next week be what it takes for Cornell to crack the top four in the polls?
If so, GO HARVARD!
Too bad our RPI will probably be too low by that point to keep the PWR comparison with BC, even if Harvard beats them...
Go Harvard regardless. A Harvard win helps us more in RPI than a BC win because we play Harvard twice (or more) and BC once.

Really. It's supposed to be spelled "pawt". (People are always butchering the Bawstin accent.)
To get pedantic about it, look at this map from the (still in development) Phonological Atlas of the United States:
http://www.ling.upenn.edu/phono_atlas/maps/MapsNE/Map1NE.html
As you can see, a distinct circle around Providence indicates the unheralded Rhode Island accent, wonderfully represented on the Family Guy. Rhode Islanders tend towards the "aw" sound while Bostonians of the non-Southie variety seem to sound more like Mainers. This is, of course, born (or, perhaps, "bow-uhn") out by the small overlap between the Providence region and the "Eastern New England" accent.
If you poke around the rest of the site, you'll see that, in general, they have it right about a lot of things.

Btw, being here for 6 months now, I must disagree. "aw" is Long Island, isn't it? As in "Oh my Gawd!". Boston is more 'ah', as in "Hahvahd", and "Pahk my cah by the Hahvahd yahd" - not "Pawk by caw by the Hawvawd Yawd" - that's NY.
Or, as in my of my all time favorite sentences, the guy they interviewed after Game 6 of the ALCS - some guy in a bar - who said "My haht stahped!"

My personal favorite came the first time I went to the ECAC tourney at the Garden (in 1979). We were at "Sucks" Square and wanted to take the T to the Garden for the game, so we asked the guy selling tokens how to get there. His response:
"To the gahden? Ok, from heeh at Hahvahd Squaeh, you take the red line to Pahk St., transfuh theh to the green line towahds Lechmeeh and get off at nohth station foh the gahden."
I nearly laughed in his face.
:-D
My personal favorite was seeing a car go by with a bumper sticker that read:

I love that site (I'm a linguistics major)...but I wish clicking on the linked map worked. American dialectal differences is one of my linguistic interests, to the point where I was planning out a study as I was driving through Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas, listening to call-in radio shows. I couldn't figure out how to actually implement the study while at Cornell, though, or I'd probably be doing that as an honors thesis.
(I figure it's okay to be a dork here among (mostly) Cornell people - when I was a misguided engineer, my math professor once said: "You're all afraid of asking questions because you think you'll look like a dork. You're Cornell engineers. You're already dorks. Get over it and ask the damn question.")
[/dorky response]
Maybe someday I'll figure out exactly how Bostonians would say "Beanpot," "Harvard," and other relevant college hockey terms and post it here. :-)

All of which would be valid analogies if the word were "Beanpart" rather than "Beanpot". Similarly, it's Boston=>Bawstin, not Barston=>Bahstin.
The a "aah" sound as we would say it (as in Harvard, park, etc), is defintely pronouned more as an aaah. However, the o "aah" (as in Sox, Dodgers, etc) is awwwed. Nothing like talking baseball with a bostonian. If not for the accents alone. "F--- the f---ing Dawdgers."
Any person with any moderate knowledge in this respect could probably explain this better than me, but this is just an uneducated New Yorker's perspective.
I didn't grow up there, but went to High School in a suburb of Boston. There are 3 main elements of the Boston accent, and a 4th that only a fraction of the people speak.
1. R dropping - Pahk the cah....
2. R adding - We sawr you sawring wood
3. Consistent short O pronunciation - every short O is pronounced "aw", while most Americans pronounce some of them "ah" (Socks) and some "aw" (office)
4. Altered short A pronunciation - The Red Sawx are a hahf game out of first.
The funny part is, back then ~1980, so few Boston area residents had ever lived anywhere else, that many of my friends thought the rest of the United States talked like they did. My strange way of speaking was allegedly because I was from Connecticut. :-}
Interesting. I went to High School in Canton, within the small overlap zone of ENE and Prov. accents. The "aw" O's were definitely all I evah heahd.

This almost makes me doubt your credibility because everyone knows that no real Bostonian would ever say 'Red' in the sentence :)

Oh deah Gawd.
Trust me - I grew up in East Tennessee, and the LAST thing you want to do is listen to talk radio in that part of the country. What brain cells the accents don't kill, the content will obliterate. These are people who complain about "that liberal windbag Rush Limbaugh!"
::help::
I was so intrigued by the accents and the contrast between the DJs and the callers, that I barely noticed the content. I'm from suburban Connecticut. We don't have accents ;-) Believe me, if the content ever veered toward politics I'd start yelling at the radio (much like I yell at my roommate whenever he plays his conservative talk radio anywhere other than his room).
In the 2nd period so far, BC 2, HU 0
Harvard sucks.
NU manages to tie it just to blow it in OT, Beanpot University strikes again.
The Beanpot is becoming (or has been) a boring tournament because, no matter how close the games are, the outcome is almost always the same. Harvard and Northeastern lboth lose (except when they play each other) and BU wins. I know BC won last year, but the talent difference between BU and BC was overwhelming. Just once I would like to see a Harvard - NU final.
Has a Harvard-NU final actually ever happened? Perhaps long, long, long ago?
According to this: http://www.augenblick.org/chha/i_bean.html
amazingly, no. Every final in Beanpot history has involved either BU, BC, or both.
