The energy levels were high in Conte tonight as Merrimack brought its student posse to the arena to sit in the nosebleeds and gawk at the players in the maroon and gold. Their passion served as a steady reminder that this was indeed playoff hockey and that a loss here would send the Warriors back to North Andover with their heads hung low. For BC, a win tonight would push them deeper into the tournament to play either UConn or BU at TD Garden in the semi-finals. In the first period, it was evident that each team was playing for their seasons as they both came out of the gates with ferocity.
