  • Re: UMass Lowell 2014-2015 Season: The March to March

    The embellishment call was crap. Mannicia was in front of the q crease and got cross checked from behind right below the shoulder blades by a bigger q d guy. He went down and was a bit slow to get up but im sure it hurt. Lowell was more physical and tougher than q all night. This seems like a harder working more balanced team than last year. Great freaking game really never in question. Shot total is deceiving as Lowell had great chaces while q shot a lot of pucks into Boyle's chest. That said I thought Boyle looked good, made some great saves just has to work on sucking up the rebounds. Q end of ice was sparce but the bench side and expanded student sections wre packed - I would have guessed 5000 attendance. Side note lots of new security this year great at hassling people on tix but let people walk up and down the aisles during play all night, pita!

      11 goals in 2 wins against nationally-ranked teams? Who would have predicted that to start the season?

      The goalies Lowell has faced had a combined GAA and Save % last year of 2.06 and .914. This year (Yes, sample size is tiny) it's 5.50 and .780.

              A couple quick thoughts on the game:

              Given that it was QU, attendance was decent enough. Let's be honest, BC is a huge draw. The crowd behind the end we defend twice was pretty sparse, yes.
              Embellishment was BS. I was not shy about saying this from the stands.
              Huge rebounds were huge last night. At least four goals (two for each) came off of huge rebounds. That is definitely something that needs to be addressed.
              I loved the pace.
              I am loving the balanced scoring and all the different names on the score sheet.

              I do NOT like how they stopped putting the player names on the ribbon boards for the scoring when they announce the goals. They just keep running the ads.

              Oh, also, those USO ticket forms? Yeah, they don't mention the $10 processing fee they'll tack on. This is almost certainly illegal, definitely slimy, and my original email was ignored. My second one, will not be. Just want people to be warned.

                It's early....there is stuff to like and definitely stuff not to like but I expect them to gel given some time together.

                  So do we see Jeff Smith tonight? I believe the QU stream is free which is pretty awesome.

                    I'm impressed by what I've seen on the ice this season. I know it's only two games, and everything could go down hill, but so far ... really fun to see.

                    5 goal scorers in the first game. 6 last night. Not bad.

                    Boyle gave up 3, but Q had some empty nets to shoot at on those.

                    Student population was fantastic. And I'd like to think it will be even better next week against two big name opponents.

                        Season ticket holders were provided a form to buy tickets for veterans through USO for $7 each. I turned mine in at box offer last week before the game and when I go the email receipt, there was a $10 processing fee that was no mentioned or listed anywhere on the form I sign.

                          I was going to order these, but now I'm not sure. I want to help, and I'll buy extra tickets, but an extra $10 when I'm trying to help isn't appropriate. Plus, with the Revs in the playoffs, my appearances for the next few weeks are all questionable.

                                relax, I just think $7 for any group is a big discount... the processing fee part is the criminal part... don't gouge people trying to do nice things.
