Thanks. We'll do our best to ensure the Warriors take care of business this weekend with four points. Any chance you could also cheer for Providence to sweep Lowell? Thanks.

one hand washes the other;) though i do believe that is a mighty tall order for PC in light of what i saw last weekend.:eek: I think it's great that Mack and UML are rekindling that rivalry. Nice piece in the Tribune about it and what it was back in the 70's and until both went D1

Looking for the TUC benefit of having UMass drop out? When I saw on the BC thread that you were calling for BC fans to be Merrimack fans for the weekend, I thought.....nah, no way that Nick and Carmine could possibly do that (they get conscientious objector status).
What a surprise, BC is smoking hot at the end of the season after a brief mid-season bump. When have we seen this before?:rolleyes:

I'll take a rematch at the Garden; last year was fun except for the outcome:(

We're getting a little ahead of ourselves here. Need to beat Umass.

Not really, just a little friendly chat with a pretty decent BC fan.
So, you are right, need to beat UMass. Their conference record is 5-4-2 at home, but they have been awful on the road, 2-9-2 (although the 2 road wins were good ones in recent weeks, @ ME and @ BU. They can score (3.0 GPG), but goaltending has been sporadic (3.44 GAA) (although Masterlerz was named co-rookie of the week this week). They are fighting to stay in the playoffs.
MC dodged a bullet in their last visit to Mullins, Velleca scoring with 2 tics left.
For MC, have they found a bit of their missing offense? Nice to see Collins score a couple of PPG's on the weekend.

exactly............and between the two of us i am a closet Warrior fan.:eek:;) I've lived basically down the street for almost 13 years and followed the downs then the ups and it's a feel good story up here plus, you do have an Eagle as the architect of the turnaround, correct?:D

twice:D

4 points is a must this weekend. For Merrimack the playoffs start Friday because they are hanging on by a thread for that last at-large spot.
 
Re: Merrimack College 2011-2012 Season Thread - vita post Da Costa

Merrimack blew a golden opportunity tonight. Like last weekend the team that was more desperate came out on top. Now Merrimack must beat Maine and go to the garden to have a chance to make the NCAAs. Also root for the 1 seeds to win the conference tourneys and all the lower seeds to knock off the teams ahead of Merrimack in pairwise. In other words Merrimack needs goals, Joe to keep doing his thing and some help from St. Augustine.

Disappointing. Another slow start on the road (3 shots in the 1st), too many penalties (hello, Kyle Bigos, are you trying to set the record?). To be honest, home ice or not, I don't see these guys getting out of the 1st round.

If you don't mind an outsider's opinion ... if you manage to get results your way later today, you could still be hosting Maine in the playoffs. Playing at the Alfond (and trust me, over a long period as a Lowell fan, I know) is completely different from playing them up there. Cannata and your rink and the crowd will help you, I truly believe that.

Thanks for a more measured perspective. For the next 3 (or 4) games, wherever they are, Canatta has to absolutely be at the top of his game if MC is to advance.
Continued good luck to the Riverhawks, what a great season for you guys!

all Merrimack fans should being brown and orange as Bowling Green pulled off a huge upset and knocked northern michigan below the warriors in pairwise.

Plans TBD, but the bus deal they are offering the students is ridiculous. $20 for bus, ticket, shirt, food, and hotel?? That's way better than MORE.

****...that is a phenomenal deal...makes me wish I was still a student...I could be like 21 Jump Street and try to pass myself off as a student still. I even still have my ID...perhaps I can change the class from 98 to 13 LOL :)

it's why I put it out there...go for it Claver...I need to be told how OLD I am...especially considering the department next to the one I'm in is filled with "kids" directly out of college...I love being asked how long I've been here only to tell them that I started at this company when they were in 3rd or 4th grade LOL
