Where are the paying customers?

It boggles my mind that UMass can't sell out the Mullins Center for a hockey playoff game. Tonight the Minutemen have a chance to clinch a spot in Boston next weekend, and the place isn't full. But don't blame it on the students because they are here in full force. Taunts during introductions were the loudest I've ever heard it here.

But for some reason the paying locals didn't deem this game important enough to show up for. While 7,119 was a high number last night, tonight should have been higher - it's debatable if that is the case.

Last Saturday the attendance was upwards of 8,000.
