T-minus 18 minutes

Just a tad over 18 minutes until the 57th annual Beanpot championship game starts. BC won the consolation game 4-3 over Harvard. With just over 45 seconds left, a Harvard defenseman tried to clear the puck across the middle BC picked off the poor pass and Benn Ferriero took advantage, putting it past Ryan Carroll for the game winner. Until that play, it looked as if the game was headed to overtime.

Talked to Keith Lavon and Pete Martin from WRBB and it sounds like the Huskies are at ease heading into this game, laughing and joking in the locker room.


So far each fan section has been extremely loud. I'm situated right above the NU pep band and nearest the Husky fan section. Several signs spotted among NU fans included "UMass-Kenmore" and "BU loves A-Rod."


Both fan sections should be great. I'll be along with some more updates, assuming my laptop doesn't die (had a scary moment booting it up.)


Edit: They've just dimmed the lights in the Garden and are showing the Beanpot trophy and pictures from past Beanpots on the jumbotron. This place seems ready to explode.
