And it is really cool to read all the stuff showing the team respect from other teams. As someone who lived thru yrs of not having that- this is really, really surreal. Kind of like when people started to take the Red Sox or Pats seriously (you older people will understand this)

Yup. And now people are starting to use the 'd' word for the program. I never thought we'd win HEA regular season, but to have people use that word for our program. Mind. Blown. (happily)

The words Selection Show cause me to have palpitations. Glad this one we only need to find out where we are going. Remembering the angst of being with the team years ago when we should have been chosen and were bypassed. THinking about the dead silence as the final teams were announced and we weren't in still makes me cringe. After the outcry from that debacle was when they started the more objective parameters.

We play Cornell at Noon on Saturday in Manchester. Minnesota and Notre Dame play the second game.

Friend just warned me that there's a half marathon Saturday morning starting at 10 in Manchester, which might affect traffic. Just a warning.

I'm happy with the Manchester bracket. "Home game", previous trip in 2013. I certainly am going to respect Cornell. Good ECAC teams have given us real problems in the Bazin Era. I also like playing the earlier game. If we advance, it gives us extra rest.

Fortunately the course actually doesn't run past the arena. It's to the north as this MAP shows, the closest it comes is a block north. So that's good and that it will be underway at 10am so one would think the traffic backup for participants would be over. Bad news is that parking might be at a premium but hopefully the arena has pre-arranged certain lots/garages to be solely for events there. In any event, Lowell should be made aware of this to alert fans to allow for extra time to arrive and park on Saturday.

I am not surprised Lowell is the Rodney Dangerfield of D1 Hockey. No matter how much we keep winning people will always disrespect for us for a lack of prestige.
