Is this game not on NESN?

EDIT: apparently the game is not on NESN

Double Edit:

Livestats?  Showing Dov in goal, but both teams are playing their backups tonight according to the radio guys (John Daigneau playing for Harvard).

Go Crimson!

Live stats still wrong on the Harvard goalie.  A service brought to you by Northeastern Sports MisInformation

The Northeastern announcers say that there are 200 people watching the game--and they blame the lack of intensity from both teams on the lack of fan interest.  Wow, that is sad--the 200 fans and the lack of intensity.

24 is the devil

Harvard announcers saying it's difficult for Harvard to get up for a game "that doesn't mean anything" against "a far worse opponent."  They suggest that Harvard might be motivated to try to get a win against a Hockey East team.

Gee, ya think?!  ::yark::

Headed into intermission.

I'll update during the third, assuming my cat gets off the @#$%^ keyboard.

So, if you're interested in how much rooting for an ECAC team in a non-conference game matters, the answer is apparently 0.0003 :-) (.5956 -> .5959 with the Harvard victory). Had we already played Hahvahd twice though, we'd probably be talking .0005 or 6, and in case it sounds entirely pointless, we're now only behind Minn by .0004, which would win us the comparison, and third place outright. Also, think about those 30 or so games the ECAC lost this year (too lazy to look it the number).

There's a decent chance, that since we played BU twice, a BU win tonight could push us over Minn . Meanwhile, since it's a conference game (well, involves two HEA teams), it won't effect conference strengths more than microscopically, so we can see how much it matters to root for a team we're played when they're playing their standard conference schedule.
