The game is listed as an "upcoming event" on RedCast.   Does anyone know if this is video, or audio only?

[quote jeffdav_CU91]I'm in the same boat as you.  The B2 networks site is extremely unhelpful.  I also emailed their support but haven't received a reply yet.[/quote]

I just got this:

[quote B2support]We will be broadcasting that event and should have it up on our schedule shortly.

For a listing of events on the B2 Networks Live TV Broadcast Schedule, please click on the link below.

me too - I'll keep on looking for the link to appear.

They didn't say how much, but from the previous posts it appears it will be $20.

how can they charge $20 for a single game? that would be nuts. and if so the ECAC should get a load of complaints for allowing it.

semsox

It should be less (I think their going rate is ~$6.95 per game.  However, an ECAC tournament pass (for all the games) was $20, so about $5 per game.

It's up on the B2 site now www.b2tv.com

It looks like you can still only purchase the entire tournament for $20. Does anyone have experience with this and know if before the game there will be an option to purchase the championship game individually?

I emailed the following to b2:
I see only a $20 pass for tonight's Cornell-Yale game.  I purchased all 3 Cornell ECAC tournament quarterfinal games last weekend from b2 at $8 each, so I've already spent $24 with you on the tournament.  Is there a single game fee?  If not, I strongly suggest you add one, as people are very unlikely to purchase tonight for $20 for one game only.

Got this response from b2, from which it seems like there will be an $8 option posted later:

To purchase an event at the pay-per-view price of $8, please wait until 10 minutes before the game starts to click on the "Watch Live Now" blue link.  Then enter your credit card information and you will be directed to the game.

[quote Sperris]Just looked on Comcast's listings for tomorrow and the game is not on, also checked the NHL Network and not listed there. Sometimes Comcast will put a game on channel 8 if they have no other spot for it... but in this case I think we are out of luck in Boston.

THere is no love ever for ECAC in Boston-- try even getting the scores in the globe unless it's the harvard score.  We're so parochial--- no boston school= no coverage option for sure
