Re: Hockey East Quarterfinals UNH (10) @ Lowell (1) 3/10-3/12

UNH poised to pull off a Game 1 shocker ... kitchen sink zooms narrowly past Tirone's post. Tsongas quiet, except for some noisy UNH fans trying to get their boys to the buzzer. One minute left. So far ...

UNH 3 @ UMass Lowell 1 late 3rd period (UML empty net)
NU 2 @ Boston U 2 late 3rd period
@ BC 5 UVM 0 late 3rd period
@ NICC 5 Providence 0 early 3rd period (Providence still in the team hotel?)

UNH pulls off the Game 1 upset. Normie can't like the looks of Tirone, the proverbial hot-as-a-pistol postseason goalie. Umile rolling 4 lines, sets up nicely if his team can jump out early again tomorrow night. A week ago, who'd a thunk it possible? UNH one (1) game away from a trip to the Garden. Northeastern and BU going to OT. UVM and Providence both got tonked (PC embarrassingly so). Interesting first night of the REAL Hockey East postseason ...

UNH 3 @ UMass Lowell 1 FINAL
NU 2 @ Boston U 2 going to OT
@ BC 6 UVM 0 late 3rd period
@ NICC 5 Providence 0 nearing midway 3rd period

Someone go post a new UNH thread for the balance of the postseason. The Part Two thread tapped out tonight.

So..just sort of wondering. We always hear that you can't just "turn it on at will." What happened? Are they playing over their heads? Tirone red hot? Lowell not ready to play? What's the deal?

When you're hot you're hot. When you're not you're not

How is PC losing by 5 more embarrassing than UVM losing by 7?

Is this UNH's first three game winning streak of the season?

Because Providence is losing (badly) to a non-Hockey East school, you silly goose.

That's what Pete Webster was saying. I guess so. Like they say, timing is everything.

Good job, guys. From the looks of things, the clock is not close to striking midnight yet!

3 goals on 12 SOG, I think?

Did HR call it as far as importance of having Eiserman and Vela back tonight?

For those who were there, did the Cats "sit back on their lead" in the second and third, or was it all about Tirone?

Tyrone made some huge saves at the beginning of the game and Wall wants those first two back. It seemed like UNH was cherry picking when Lowell was in the offensive zone and that messed with Lowell's offense. When the D jumped or made a mistake, UNH was quick to go the other way with an odd-man rush. UNH also got sticks in the passing lane all night. Lowell needs to make some adjustments to push this to Sunday.
