Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

I was talking about that with one of my friends. Basically saying all we need is one person to throw it, and then they'll go flying. Exactly how it played out sadly.

Was a teen kid a few rows in front of me that threw the first one. His parents were clapping him on the back. How to parent. Idiots.

Bobby Allen wins unseeded heat of the PreNational XC meet in KY. (HUGE meet) Totally awesome!

Yes, the announcer is new but seems to be slowly finding his game. And, hopefully, his Lowell pronunciation sheet.

The announcer last night was new to Lowell hockey, but he's hardly a rookie - http://www.mikerileyannouncer.com/

Guess I didn't notice (or care) that it was someone totally diff. I didn't groan at least.

At least it wasn't the guy from last week who was horrible. Last night's announcer was much better and would be an adequate replacement for the one from the past few years.

They actually looked pretty cool out on the ice, sort of like a starry night's ski.

A small reminder that 10% of your audience are *******s... The next 25% are ******* followers who wouldn't do things without the first guy.

Sucks, but always true.

Embarrassing moment for the school.

Really? Grand scheme, that's pretty minor. Far far better than stuff in the headlines regarding hazing, assaults and other crap.

Probably more a brain fart. Just a reminder to cancel battle axe night

Edit: I'd like to say I don't like that whole lights thing after the goal... First time we get that wrong it's a two minute penalty... And it'll be the last time it happens

That's a little harsh. I'm sure they would have rather that it didn't happen, but it didn't hurt anybody. They weren't throwing trash at the players or officials. And I agree with riverchief, it did look kinda cool.

Again....they never give a penalty without a warning and it happens at least twice a year around the league. Lights, horn, PA, whatever, every arena has their stuff. Far more important things to worry about.

Good sweep this weekend. Lot more even last night though, from what I hear.

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

Nail biter of a weekend but thankfully they came away with the two wins. Lots of work to do to get ready for Merrimack next weekend. High on the list is actually hitting the net on shots as way, way too many shots are sailing high, wide, or misfiring on certain goals. Need to finish. Should've had at least 3-4 more each night this weekend. This is followed closely by turnovers and messy/casual puck play.

That pretty much sums it up. I thought Kevin Boyle had a solid weekend. He made some big saves both nights.

So has anyone taken a look at Merrimack yet? This series always seems harder than we expect, and they've been looking good. I'd be very pleased with 3 points
