We had a great season. I don’t need to hear people say we didn’t support this team. I was at every home game and was at the game yesterday. We didn’t lose tonight because of the crowd. To even mention that is stupid.
 
I’m a little raw right now, but blaming our fans for not supporting these guys sucks…especially when you didn’t support them. We have a way smaller fan base for hockey, because we are actually good at more than one sport.
 
the arena... of course the school is going to run through their allotment
I don’t know the situation exactly but if the garden holds 17,000, why would our allotment be 500?? By the time the players’ families get tickets and big donors, there's nothing left for the regular folks. That’s my beef. I am a donor but obviously not the preferred kind.
 
Well, that certainly sux. Left a Regional Number One seed on the table. It happens. Let's see what Sunday brings. Guessing it means a western trip, but maybe not. And one helluva good season nonetheless. Kudos!!!!!!

At least my alma mater won. Cornell v Clarkson in Lake Placid tomorrow. The retro bill of material ECAC final.

Same…our ticket allotment sucked.

If it somehow means QU doesn’t make it, that’s great.

Hockey East at the garden always sells out. Very rare that it isn't great hockey. Fans willing to pay for great hockey. They save 500 for the teams that make it to the garden. Typically, a big secondary market depending on who makes the finals.
 
as the new kids on the Hockey East block we’re still finding our way a bit as a program

And as a fan base it reminds me of when we started winning in hoops in the Big East in the late 80s early 90s.

We are an insecure bunch as it relates to hockey.

We are not the new kids. We’ve been a full member since 2016.

Looking at section 20, many of our donors made a quick buck putting the tickets on SeatGeek.
I bought my tickets for one session…it wasn't a two session thing. That wasn’t even an option. You had to buy tickets for both days.
 
No one…but I don’t think 8 years in makes you “the new kids.” My 8 year old car isn’t new, is it?
After the game I googled the following. ‘NHL players who played at Maine’. The list is much longer than ours. We are the new kids to big time college hockey. Esp in Hockey East.
 
Section 20 was a UConn section but were available to anyone. We had to go thru Ticketmaster (I think) to buy them. Not thru the university.

Oh, please. That’s just silly. They’ve obviously been in HE longer than we have, so that list should be longer. But my 8 year old car still isn’t a new car.

I hear what you are saying. But we cannot complain about our allotment when, after a WIN, 50% of them go on the market for the second session.

But it’s your newest car - just like UConn is the newest kid on the Hockey East block ;)

There’s no shame in getting significantly outnumbered by Black Bear fans in Boston - the Hockey East Tournament is a big deal (like UConn Big East Tournament big deal) to them. Nobody is surprised (especially on the same night MBB is playing in March Madness.

I dropped this earlier in the thread - nobody is blaming UConn fans for lack of support.

Just stop. Maine has nothing else. We do. I wonder how many Maine fans are at the NCAA tournament. No one from Maine is there, thats for sure. Imagine if we all rooted for only hockey.

Cornell took them down in OT. The ECAC final will be be played by two teams that have to win to make it to the dance.

Well, I know that. But QU still might make it. That was my point.
 
I have definitely been grumpy tonight, but I mean, whatever I said. If losing in the finals doesn’t make you mad, then you’re not a real fan. Just don’t blame the real fans,
