Stanley Cup on Display @ St. Vincents Hospital Monday 2pm-4pm

With the AHL All Star game rolling into town this weekend I see it has just been announced that The Stanley Cup will be on display in the atrium of St. Vincent's hospital from 2pm to 4pm before going on display in the lobby of the DCU Center for the All Star game that evening.

The viewing and photo opportunity is free and open to the public, so grab the kids and head on down to get some face time with Lord Stanley's Cup!

Busy Day At The DCU

This afternoon I had a double dip at The DCU Center. First I went and was able to get my picture taken with the 2004 and 2007 World Series trophies. Since it was a worker who was taking the pics for me I only had about 10 seconds and told her to shoot as many shots as she could. 80% of them came out shitty as you can guess because the one I posted above was the best of the lot.

After seeing the trophies I was able to score a ticket to the Boston College vs. Miami of Ohio regional final for $25.00. Nine rows up from the glass and $20.00 cheaper than the box office price. Hell of a game. BC was overmatched throughout but scored 3 goals in under 2 minutes as the 2nd period was winding down. Miami forced OT with a goal late in the 3rd period.

BC was getting outgunned in the OT frame as well before they were able to score on a nifty rebound off of an odd man rush 12 minutes into OT. The Eagles were the one team to emerge from Worcester and punch their ticket to The Frozen Four in Denver, CO.

NCAA Hockey North East Regionals In Worcester 3/29-3/30/08

Worcester and the DCU center host the North East regionals of the 2008 NCAA Hockey Championships next weekend. Two games will be played back to back on Saturday with the winning teams facing off on Sunday. The winner of the regional will advance to the Frozen Four Championship in Denver, CO.

It is very well possible that both the University of New Hampshire and Boston College could be playing in the Worcester bracket. I just watched these two teams battle into triple overtime in the Hockey East semi finals tonight with BC coming up with the victory early in the 3rd OT. Watching the way this game was played this evening the potential thought of these two teams meeting again in Worcester next weekend would make for one hell of a match up.

I believe the brackets are announced later tomorrow evening. If the teams that are coming to town look strong and the match ups look interesting and compelling I could certainly wind up sauntering down to the DCU Center to take in these 3 games....
