An ad in today's (2/19) Boston Herald says tickets are $15 single session,
$30 all-session (two days), which suggests that you don't have to buy the
two-day package.  Phone numbers given are 617-931-2000 (TicketMaster charge
by phone), 508-755-6800 for group sales, or you can go down to the Centrum
box office.  BU is the host team.

From what I saw, BU was a vastly different team than what I saw last
weekend.  I have to think Shawn Walsh is a little "relieved" at not having
to go into the playoffs still unbeaten, this may serve to get the team
focused again.  No coach likes to lose, but Walsh is likely to use this
loss to his and the team's benefit.  Maine was *one game away* from tying
the all-time record for longest unbeaten streak in a season, but I don't
think anyone would take an unbeaten streak over an NC$$ championship.
 
I think this win strengthens BU's case for getting the 2nd seed in the
East.  In fact, if Wisconsin catches UMD in the WCHA race, BU could become
the only team I know of to have beaten the four conference regular season
champs in a single year.
