Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

This one is wide open IMO.

But considering you have two of the worst coaches in NCAA tourney history in this bracket (Umiliate and Enrico "BC can't skate with us" Blasi)

Ahh I missed tournament time

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

Is there a bus line that connects the UNH campus and Manchester? Concord Trailways and Greyhound go to Boston, layover, then to Manchester.

Priceless, according to Melrose you can simply walk from the campus to Manchester. As long as it isn't raining, you should be fine.

UNH beats Miami of Ohio and ND beats MC. I think the Irish find a way to get to St. Paul.

If Barry wants to walk, he can. I want to ride.

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

I'd say Miami and Merrimack are the favorites in the first round and Miami's the favorite to win the regional.

Yes- You and the those that made the bracket agree Miami # 1, MC #2!! That's how it still works, right!?

I'm interested to see who actually gets the most fans three.. UNH or MC? MC for a small school had a great show of support in Boston & may actually be a few miles closer to Manch-vegas than UNH is.

Furthermore unh has been to the NCAA like 13 consecutive years, fans have grown tired of chasing them around, I've noticed a drop in attendance over the last few years,would also say poor showing at garden.Yes students on brake but still, you will see more Mack fans, this sight will indeed sell out.

Sounds obvious, yes, but I think you'd find quite a few people who would say UMD (a #3) is the favorite in Bridgeport. As for the fans, my guess is that UNH will have more, but MC's will be louder. UNH will still get a lot of casual fans from the Manchester area in addition to the ones in Durham who make the trip, but I think MC's fans are gonna be so jacked up for the team's first NCAA appearance in 20-whatever years that they'll easily win the noise battle.

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

The important question I want to know is if the NCAA will allow Merrimack to have their song played over the PA system and if the UNH fans will get their panties in a bunch like they did this weekend at the Garden.

Don't lump me in!

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

Federal- Maybe UMD coming from the west does looks good- but watch out for those Flying Dutchmen!!

I don't doubt that MC will be very loud! I only hope that UNH's crowd is also up for making it entertaining as well. It makes for a great atmsphere!! I can't wait to see UNH and MC go at it for a bid to the FF!(although, I'll have to watch on TV).

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

Expected to watch BC this weekend, but could be a Hockey East regional final. UNH can beat Miami, they showed that early in the year. A lot of folks will say, "that UNH team is not this UNH team" and that's true, UNH is playing like **** right now . . . but, I would also say that a lot people expected Miami to blow UNH out both nights back in October. The Redhawks were a senior-heavy and battle tested team, and there were a lot of questions marks surround the Wildcats. It will be interesting to see how UNH fares; I really just hope they play well - haven't seen that in a while.

In regards to tickets: somebody was asking about one-day sales; they usually release single day tickets later this week.

Also, have one extra ticket with our group (somebody backed out). Section 109, row 10 or so. $60 for the weekend. We're obviously UNH fans, but don't have a problem sitting / talking hockey with anybody else, as long as you're not drunk and obnoxious!

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

This is great for UNH. Another tournament, and I am glad they are not opening with Merrimack. They need a good first game to get the confidence they'll need to beat Merrimack. And thank God BC went west.

Re: Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

UNH will choke again. Like always!!!

#13 PWR (#4 seed) losing to #4 PWR (#1 seed) would be a choke?
