Statistically speaking since 2003-2004 (I though 11 years would represent a fair amount of your likely viewing history) Lowell has had only one season (2005-06) where they had more penalties called against them than their opponents and only two where it resulted into more penalty minutes (2004-05 and 2005-06). The overall numbers were UML: 2286 penalties/5228 minutes versus Opponents: 2462/5778. I suppose I could drill down further and compare majors, 10 minute, game/gross misconducts, and match calls but the three years I did review (2003-2006) showed them to be about even.

    I'm not calling them choirboys by any stretch but by comparison to the Lowell Chiefs of my undergrad days the current iteration seem more like a bunch of pussycats...at least to my admittedly biased eyes.

    You can't go bringing stats into a UVM - UML thread... believe me I've tried and SCottk and PatRonICK have made it clear that stats are not welcome.

      Given how they have been under Norm, its kind of true to be honest. Usually in terms of both the season and game-by-game I usually see a slower start early and we pick up towards the end. The third period tends to be the fun one for us as BC learned against us.
      I'd probably be a lot less stressed if I wasn't a hockey fan, but where's the fun in that?

        My comments? All I said was that it wasn't really late ("at the whistle") but it was a bit thuggery but nothing to go nuclear over. Whoever went in 2nd is up for the thuggery.. 1st guy in was fine. As for the Charlestown quote that was just making fun of the situation.. there have been far worse missed calls on the grand scheme of things. On a 1 to 10 this is about a 3 in my book.

          It was for the "Chiefs" reference only; apologies for missing the tongue implanted in the cheek.

            I think you're supposed to respond like jcarter did and tell Kdaddy you're going to provide him with tissues? Not sure

              This is a Vermont Lowell thread, if you want to be friends and get all touchy feely do it with yourself (probably the case already) or with the other Lowell fans.

                Plus you've already offered to provide them with the tissues...how much more hospitable can you get?

                  I said I was sorry too... dam Lowell fans, you would think that they would a.) have thicker skin and b.) be more appreciative when I guy apologies and offers a tissue...

                    But it ought to keep the discussion going for a while... well done on a nice flame
                    Best save percentage in the country. Deal with it. Oh, wait, Vermont fans don't like things like stats and facts.

                      Good for him, but he still isn't the best goaltender in the league. Deal with it.

                        one UML poster tried to use as reason UML would win last week which didt work out so well.

                        Also your previous post on how UML is a better scoring team then Vermont is now false as Vermont passed UML in GPG several games ago.
                        And with only 5 goals in its last 4 games that killer OFF seems to have gone cold.

                        And your claim to the better goalies didnt hold up last week did it, while the stats show that yours are overall better he definately got outplayed
                        by Hoffman and after Saturday I think teams now know they just need to back up on Hellybuck to score more.
                        You're either taking too many drugs or you're not medicated enough, I can't figure out which it is.

                        You heard it here first, folks! Hellebuyck, the national leader in save percentage, the sophomore who in 46 career games has more shutouts (10) than loses (9) was outplayed by Hoffman (despite shutting out Vermont on Friday night, because only Saturday counts) and has been exposed by Vermont for the rest of the college hockey world to dissect and emulate.

                        Log off and take a nap while the adults finish the discussion, would you please?

                          Um we could review stats... for the weekend you know both Friday and Saturday...

                          Hellebuyk 1 win 1 loss
                          Hoffman 1 win 1 loss


                          Hellebuyck 1.5 GAA
                          Hoffman 1.5 GAA

                          Hellebuyck .943 sv%
                          Hoffman .949 sv%

                          So ya.... Hoffman played as well or better then Hellebuyck on the weekend by every statistical measure.

                            To be fair there is a reason they call it Groovy UV and why our student section counts down to 4:20 on the clock.

                              At least both of our fanbases can remember the game being played. Down at Amherst its all a blacked out blur.
                              I'd probably be a lot less stressed if I wasn't a hockey fan, but where's the fun in that?

                                Does that count only shots from inside the zone or those from center ice?
