People are playing hockey

In Boston, the Beanpot's a big deal. Last night, BU won the annual hockey tournament involving them, BC, Northeastern, and Harvard. Some interesting things about the Beanpot.

  • Chris Bourque, son of Ray, won the tournament with an overtime goal
  • BU has dominated this tourny historically and recently. What makes this interesting is that BC has had the better team recently (they won a national championship a few years ago, yet BU has won nine of the last eleven Beanpots.
  • Boston college students use this tournament as an excuse to get absolutely trashed.
  • Must have been strange to have hockey in the Fleet Center/Boston Garden/Name for Sale Building.
  • Harvard has had good teams - I believe they won a national championship in the 80's. Anyway, I have a funny feeling Harvard students needed to revert to the cheer, "it's alright, it's okay, you'll be working for us one day."
