Quote from: stereax on March 11, 2026, 06:43:17 PMWatching the BU-UVM playoff game and wow this place is empty. What the hell?

Often in places like Clarkson, students get into regular season games for free, but for the first rounds of the playoffs, the leagues mandate charging for tickets. Kids say "eff that" and stay home. This round typically has woeful attendances at smaller Eastern schools despite "playoffs."

I don't know if that's the case at Vermont.

It's at BU.

Ah, sorry. I assumed by your ordering of the teams that it was at Burlington.

Welp, screw BU, and their lame fans too.

Edit: it's also a Wednesday night and fans who might come from farther away decide to skip so they can work in the morning.

Quote from: RichH on March 11, 2026, 09:17:13 AMI didn't realize until the end of the video that it was against Anaheim. Disney is done promoting their little movie franchise so now the team is retconning themselves as the 1980's Flames? Just move to Portland already.

i hate to say it but the unis look sharp. i don't care if they use the colors from a decades-old movie for kids.

But the movie colors were what... 90s teal & purple? The red definitely looks better, that's why I was so surprised to see it was Team Mickey and not the Flames.

There's no real reason to have a connection to the movie anymore other than nostalgia. Disney hasn't owned the Ducks for two decades.

This is where I admit I haven't paid much attention. They've had orange (for Orange County) in the mix for over 10 years, the current kits since 2024. What a dreadful place to exist with no ties to the theme park.

Cornell gives up a 2-on-0 shorthanded goal. Comeback hopes fading.

We beat them 3-0 at Lynah on Halloween, lost 3-1 at Ingalls in Jan. and are down 5-2 today. Yale has improved mightily.

Beautiful cross-crease pass and it's 4-2 early in the 3rd.

Quote from: BearLover on March 06, 2026, 04:27:21 PMAlso, why take these games off campus? Women's hockey does not have a large enough following for a neutral tournament to make sense.

I've expressed this sentiment to everyone I have spoken to about this. My prediction is they move back to campus sites as soon as the current contract is completed.

I'm confused how this got approved in the first place. The atmosphere at Lynah last year was great. It wouldn't be great at most other rinks, but still should be better than a largely empty arena like what we have here. Plus less travel for teams and fans...?

The players get a better experience in LP, and their families probably enjoy the resort atmosphere

Yale's coach was singing the praises of having it there during his intermission interview. The players probably prefer it, and the league officials can plan better for the banquet, media sessions, and other events. I see at least one youth team in the stands, probably more. I believe the locals will make a nice showing for the Final and the attendance will beat any on-campus number. It's a good showcase for women's hockey tbh.

I don't care that much, but it feels good.

4-1. Passes aren't connecting, and Yale is having their way with possession time.

Start of the 2nd, 2-1 Yale. Yale took over the rest of the first, leading in faceoffs, shots, and goals. Both Yale goals were off rebound scrambles.

Quote from: imafrshmn on March 06, 2026, 04:20:35 PMLots of slipping and sliding on this ice sheet, for whatever reasons... Pierre McGuire should not be anywhere near a microphone

He's anointed himself "Mr. ECAC." Very little energy after the pre-game comments. Mumble gravel mumble.

Apparently he calls Ingalls "The Whale Tail," (not "the Yale Whale" like the rest of the world) thus demonstrating his credibility. Ugh.

Adam scores in the first minute!

Band is there and sounds strong.

LET'S GO RED!!

Yale rocking a very Penn St. grey look instead of home white. "Bulldogs" across the front. Never seen a Yale team go so non-traditional.

Sunrise, Sunset

That seemed like a "bend but don't break" game, and Cornell nearly got it done. I would think that Richmond has a better idea about who they are this season than Cornell, given the losses and current injuries. A lot of national championship-sized holes to fill this year, and there are talented, but inexperienced players right now attempting to do so.
