Perhaps the thing that most surprised me tonight was Laing Kennedy's
claim that Providence had received "serious consideration" for a seed.
But I'm having a hard time understanding Northern Michigan over UMass-Lowell
and RPI. In speaking with Dr. Norinne Daly, Assistant Commissoner of
Hockey East last night at the Garden, she seemed very confident that UM-L
would receive a bid based on their strength of schedule and by virtue of
the win against New Hampshire in the HE consolation. Oh well, I guess not.
I don't want to start a petty bickering or flames; these will do absolutely
nothing and the NC$$ won't change their minds.
So good luck to everyone, and let the games begin!
