UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II

As a huge UML fan I was bummed to draw the Albany regional over Worcester for this reason. I can count on 1 hand how many home regular season games I have missed in the last 10 years and I can proudly say I have not missed a playoff game during that same time frame...but, it appears that streak will end this weekend. Hopefully the boys can come away with two wins this weekend and I can book my trip to Tampa!

How far from Albany are you?

We have a choice of seeing my aging FIL and family, not seeing mr les or seeing mr les and not seeing family. this will be holiday #2 out of 3 that mr les is absent. His father is not getting any younger :(

It isn't at all...but the fact that it is Easter Weekend is pretty big for people who celebrate Easter...especially now that I have kids.

If Lowell makes the Garden next year again ... the semifinals are the same night as St. Paddy's. Oh boy, that should be a fun event.

Anyway, I'm out for Albany. :(

the fact that it's Bridgeport?

but I think he was bringing it up because Bridgeport is about the same driving distance away from Lowell as Albany is, give or take 10-15 minutes.

ive been to bridgeport its not that bad. the rink is actually pretty nice if they play were the sound tigers play
 
Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II

Haven't been to Albany, but I'd say Bridgeport was probably the best arena compared with Manchester and Worcester. But also probably the worst overall location

albany is nice. the rink is nice. the albany devils play there. there is food and bars right there to get too. dont go wandering too much.

The DCU Center blows for hockey. Give me Bridgeport or Manchester any day.

Yeah I think we are all in agreement on that. Hopefully my Spring Break (which still means I work) continues to be on the weekend of the regionals. I would make the trip back for Worcester/Providence/Manchester, but I think I will be doing the FF every year, so its hard to know how money will fall. We'll see going forward.

School first. It's a tough time in your life but it's always the priority.

I will admit it was nice to have the luxury of the two hour trip back especially when grad school pressure got to be too much at times.

No love for Lowell on the CHN site. Almost all of their picks have Yale defeating Lowell. The disrespect has begun. ;)

I can see lowell winning due to how defensive they play. Yale only scores 2 goals a game on average. So i can see a game like lowell/providence again. Were one bounce determines the winner.

For sure. The blog Riverchief linked is mostly humor, and the ongoing theme is disrespect for Lowell hockey. I suspect reference to those picks could make it into a future post.
