    I don't like it either.
    I didn't realize they did that. Ouch. I still refer to them as "The Sioux".

But today will be "blue" vs "red."
      If they came across pretentious against BU...

        Yeah. I get that they were trying to "intimidate" the opponent. I just thought it was classless. Although I suppose they would say it's all in "good fun," I just wish they would come up with another way.

          Treading on this ice here, I believe we are the only country that plays our anthem before every sporting event. I'd be fine with not doing so, but if we are going to do it, stand up, face the flag, place your and on your heart and be quiet.

            A few hours away. The 12 PM start is a bit weird but it is what it is.

            Actually, even I won't deny this and it's a part of the reason I'm a little wary when I run into another alumnus. It's good to run into the down-to-earth ones though.

              Good luck today (I don't think you'll need it).

              I heard an interview by Bernie Corbett with Bazin this morning on NHL Network Radio - he did a great job as usual.

                  What a bunch of lumbering cheap shot artists. Refs let that game get out of control by letting Cornell continually take runs at Lowell players.

                  Strong performance, dominate win. Time to see who's on the menu for tomorrow night.

                      Agreed. They were a bunch of dirtbags who couldn't compete so instead they gooned it up. Don't know where those refs were from but there's a difference between letting them play and letting it get out of control. Fortunately it doesn't seem any injuries occurred.

                      Good game though and on to tomorrow'so final.

                        Wow, good job Lowell. Don't want to jinx things by saying this, but I really think you guys can win it all.

                          Was honestly a bit nervous the first 10 minutes of the game. UML seemed tentative while it appeared Cornell to skate with confidence. Fortunately that all change once Lowell was able to start connecting on passes. Nice game River Hawks. Took a lot of tough hits and will be sure to feel it tomorrow.

                          Re: parking - we were able to drive right in to the city without issue. We too Rte 93 and got off on the Candia Road exit. Parked about 2 blocks away from the arena on a residential street. Easy in/easy out. Looking forward to tomorrow!

                            Glad to have the win in the bag and (I think) everyone got out without being injured. Chatter in our section was speculating on the number (and duration) of ice baths needed for our guys.

                              Don't forget Manchester has their St Patrick's day parade tomorrow from noon-2 so it may be a little tricky getting in for those who arrive early. Pregame starts at 1:30 at Murphy's again.
