Are you smart enough to see why not now?
I didn't think so. Congrats on the 9 wins against us in 4 years that nobody cares about. Hell, you can even have the other two. We won the one that people will actually remember.

If you don't win the national championship, getting beat to a pulp at the Garden will be remembered on this board as much as yesterday. But sure

Congrats to the Riverhawks, three regional final participation trophies during our four short years in Hockey East is quite the accomplishment. I hope you look back at time we spent together as conference mates as fondly as I do.

Kinda like how BC ripped your hearts out in the Championship game; all those 'other times' Notre Dame beat BC were games that, to use your words, nobody cared about.

Don't have a dog in this ND vs UMass Lowell fight. Personally, however, I'd rather have my team in the Frozen Four over a conference tournament championship. Being in the FF means you are still playing with a shot for a National Championship. The key words being "still playing" if nothing else.

Yup and I challenge you to find a post where I ever said anything else. Hint: don't bother, there isn't one. But if you care to read a comment or two I have made on some recent USCHO articles you'll see that I already made that point. Sure I'm glad we beat BC a bunch of times but until we can beat them in the tournament, none of those games mean much. Try again.

Just as long as you agree to die by the sword you live by. That said, I'm sure ND will help fill United Center more than Lowell would have. So for the good of college hockey, help make it a good atmosphere. A rising tide floats all boats.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a post by me where I didn't live this admonition. I don't complain about officiating after a loss. I don't try to compare my program with those that are in the true heavyweight class, or even those that used to be but are no more, like a Michigan. You won't find a post of mine where I try to make Notre Dame hockey out to be on the same level with U of M even after beating them 3 straight times in the CCHA championship OR a Frozen Four.
Maybe, but the FF draws (mostly) sellout crowds without Notre Dame in the mix. We'll have more fans because of proximity and a more well known sports brand, but we've got a long way to go before anybody will think we're a hockey school. Maybe this FF will help change that. But hockey is a far distant 4th after (mostly) mediocre football and men's and women's basketball.

FWIW, get used to it, embrace it, and just have fun. It's been that way for decades at Michigan.
And there's very little cross over between hockey and BB, since they run the same season. So just have fun with the people you have.
The abuse from schools that are 90% hockey and 10% everything else will never stop. Ever.
And welcome back to the Mid-West.

Thanks for sharing that. But how can they say the city had nothing to do with the hockey games?
Re: Northeast Regional - March 25-26: Minnesota, UMass-Lowell, Cornell and Notre Dame
Wrong. As I mentioned previously (perhaps on another thread), the Frozen Four is sold out every year and has been for some time now. It's become one of those "elite" events, like the Super Bowl (TRANSLATION: People that don't know anything about college hockey go because it's the "in" thing to do) So, although that would have been true 30 years ago, it wouldn't matter WHO was there, it will still sell out. All having ND there will do is raise the price for the scalpers.

When you think a regional final win is a game people will remember, it's a sure sign of a small-time program. Congrats on being the biggest kid at the kiddie table.
