I was just about to post this. Are we in bizarro world or what? Let's go MACK! Frigging Providence...can't believe I am moving there in two months. What a shithole program. Maybe they need a broadcaster...
Sometimes I wonder why these teams can't compete in the Beanpot too. It would be much more interesting.

Agreed there. Let's have the same four teams every year, and the same finals matchup every year. Then, whoever wins gets to celebrate like they won the national title.
Unfortunately Lowell won so the Mack has no chance at home ice. According to USCHO, Lowell holds the tiebreaker over Merrimack. A first round matchup with "the other Umass" would be great though in my opinion. I might actually be able to attend the game.
