So.. How the hell does ESPN get LAR for the three letters to represent Lowell for their bracket?

Where the hell is LAR?
I suspect we'll get a TWID from the ice is life guys.
NHL.com article also fails to mention that Scott Wilson (who is a prospect of the Penguins) was the Hockey East ROTY.

We already know nhl.com is in serious need of fact checking and maybe a journalist. What's new?

There is really no excuse for LAR... there is no R in UMass Lowell .. W.T.F? Not that I am really surprised by ESPN not knowing UML, but do your homework...

Won't make it to Bridgeport, I will be listening and cheering on though!
Hell, I'll probably wear my jersey to work on Friday just because.

I already fired off a nasty-gram to their corrections link. Doubt it'll make a difference.

I wonder if the Sports Zone in Dracut will host it? .. or maybe the Brewery in Lowell.

Am I the only one concerned that Miami's size and physicality could make them a very tough draw? Lowell has struggled this year against teams that fit that description

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II
Hell, they barely even mention Lowell.
That's all there is.
I was at the BeerWorks on Saturday, and they said they'd be happy to put the games on.
Agreed. That definitely scares me.

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II
Agreed. Glancing at some of their stats on uscho they seem stat-wise to be along the lines the Merrimack/PC in that they're a big physical team that doesn't score a lot, doesn't give up a lot, and takes a crap load of penalties.

No. I think many of us are thinking the same thing, especially with the way things worked out with PC. Hopefully the team has learned from that series. Miami is a tough draw. The Hawks will need to play their best hockey and find a way to get pucks and players to the net.

I'm planning on going to all the Bridgeport games myself, but have some friends that can only make it to the Saturday game (hopefully we get that far!). Does anyone know if you can buy games individually and how that might work?
Thanks in advance!
Wicked pumped for the tournament. I remember watching it on TV the last time they were there. Can't believe I was only 10 at the time! Like Norm said, it's been much too long.

I haven't hung there often as I'm generally too thirsty and too cheap to drink $6 drafts but my impression of Beer Works is that it's not really a "watching every second of a hockey game" kind of place. Aren't the TV's kind of small and high up? Certainly could be wrong on this and if the place will be filled with UML fans then I'd go.
Miami being a big physical opponent does worry me after getting manhandled by Providence. What I found very frustrating in that series is that we didn't take advantage of our speed and squirminess by skating the puck out of our own end instead of passing it out. Too often we passed the puck before we got to our blue line even though we weren't being challenged. Providence hung back between center ice and their blue line, waited for us to pass then flew to the puck and creamed the Riverhawk the pass was intended for. Maybe Norm should think back to our 9 goal weekend in Maine (who has very big physical defensemen eh?) and use that game plan for Miami.
