Ha that's hilarious. I thought I had tickets to an NHL playoff game. I don't know much about ice hockey (obviously) so I'm just hoping for a fun night out!

College hockey playoffs in Boston will be an excellent night out. Very fun. No worries.

Should be fun. Drunk college students. Drunk folks that think they're still in university.

Do you have tickets for Friday or Saturday? Friday will be the semifinals, so two games, Saturday just the one final game.

Probably the drunkest I've ever been in my adult life the semi-finals of the hockey east tournament in 2016. Providence vs. UMass Lowell went into triple overtime and the BC-Northeastern game, that I was there to see, didn't even start until like 10pm. Fortunately that was the last weekend of late night T service.

I went to another game at the Garden a week or 2 later and the Sam Adams guy remembered me from the Hockey East game.

I was at that game! I remember looking up at the scoreboard and it saying "Period 6". Lowell won on a bounce into the net off a skate. I stuck around for the first period of the BC/NU game and headed home. I was pretty hungover that next day, but rallied to go see Lowell lose to Northeastern.

The games won't be NHL caliber but they'll be really good and a lot of the players will go pro.
