Going to OT

So, what helps us more, a BU win or a NU win?

Jacob '06 · February 14, 2005, 10:34:49 PM

Probably northeastern, but I don't think it has that much influence

Us directly? Doesn't matter much. I can't think why it would. But a BU loss could definitely help Harvard stay higher, and may make a difference for teams like Colgate and Dartmouth if they can make a run.

4x4 matching penalty

Jacob '06 · February 14, 2005, 11:07:46 PM

BU wins from chris bourque

Trotsky · February 14, 2005, 11:11:02 PM

26 titles in 53 years.

One hell of a game, and what a sequence.

Shot off the edge of the net, from the side off the post, bounces out in front to Borque streaking through the center who bangs it home past a diving Gibson. Wow.

After watching the Beanpot title game: Wouldn't it be nice if each night there were two or three games - I was about to clarify and say college not pro games, but that's not necessary this season - you could get? And maybe a half dozen on key weekends? That is one advantage satellite seems to have - more pickup of out of region sports networks. Eg DirecTV has NESN which had the Beanpot, but not cable in our area. But I think it's more a matter of will to do it, not bandwidth.

And for those who love minor league hockey, we can hope for away broadcasts of our team's games sometime in the next decade.

In terms of having college hockey games each night of the week, that'd be difficult to pull off, mainly because you have to remember that these guys are (supposed to be) students first and foremost. Most games take place on the weekends because then they don't have to worry about getting to class the next day after a potentially long distance road trip.

Ah, good point, and I realized it once I hit the Post button. I mean, for every night there's a bunch of college hockey games played (not every night of the week), it woiuld be great to have a selection of games to watch ... leading up to the point in five, ten years when every game is available to everyone over satellite, cable TV, or high-quality Webcast. And then also for Lehigh and Iowa wrestling, if that's youir thing. The Cornell-Penn basketball game of last Saturday was on CN8, a Jersey-area cable channel, I believe; it woiuld have been nice if that had been picked up on an unused satellite channel.

Sports Illustrated noted last fall how the colleges are screwing up student-athletes' lives by playing those Tuesday and Wednesday night games, all in order to get Mississippi Delta State national exposure on ESPN2. I believe there was a promo for "[~]17 Straight Nights of College Football." Good for the fan, good for Vegas, not so good for the students.

Well, Hyphen is one of the best in college hockey, at least statistically and he's a large part of their success this season. And they are students (I believe), so they naturally have an added affinity for their goalie.
