I'll gladly take UMD flying under the radar here, although I can say I'm fairly surprised by that. People seem to forget that we're first in the nation in scoring, finished second in the WCHA, and are a veteran tested team. But, if people want to just give the regional to BC now, I'll take that.

... who collapsed at the end of the season. That's why you're not likely getting the attention most expected. Plus BC is the easy pick of the #1 seed.

I wouldn't exactly call going 12-6-3 in the second half of the season as a "collapse" as you put it. But hey, we all have different opinions on what words mean.

If you mean flying under the radar in that the #1 seed in the region has won 15 straight...fine. But you're the defending champs until beaten...I don't think anyone from Maine is underestimating you. UMD is the #2 seed, not Maine. As for people "giving" the regional to BC...that's a bit of a strawman argument.

Just like last year when they had a similar collapse at the end of the regular season and in the Final Five. I also like that they are not getting much attention.

Maine's getting attention because of the injury to Abbott. If someone wants to give Connolly a concussion, I bet UMD will get a lot more attention, too.

It's also where you landed. Jerry York is too smart to talk about the regional final before playing the first game. And Maine's a bit preoccupied at the moment (see above). Rest assured, though, neither York nor Whitehead has forgotten who won last year.

Black Bear fans will be able to rally at Maxwell Silverman's Toolhouse Restaurant located at 25 Union St. Worcester. Three blocks from the DCU Center. Special BBQ buffet available and cash bar. Need to call 1-800-934-2586 if interested in buffet. 4:00p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

During the first game? Poor planning on their part. How about a joint at say 1 pm?

You can have him at the end of next season....at least until he turns 25

Also known as a SHART.
Half chit, half fart.

I'll be hanging in the smokers section between periods. Come out and get some fresh air.

Keep the smoke, but I'll take a beer, no problem.

Exactly. Don't worry UMD fans, you will have the proper attention paid to you - I hate how fans say they rather be under the radar when they SHOULD know the teams playing aren't falling into that trap.

Just did a little number crunching on this 15 game win streak that BC has had. While any 15 game win streak is impressive, the combined record of the teams they beat on that streak was 105-139-29. They had 6 of those wins (3 against each) against Providence and Vermont, whose combined record is 20-47-5. They only won 4 games out of the 15 against teams over .500. Those were 1 against Maine and BU (In the HE championship game and Beanpot Championship game) and 2 against Merrimack. Again, I think a 15 game win streak is impressive no matter what, but it wasn't like they were playing juggernaut competition during that time.
