UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

[UMLFan]

Well, I figure it's about time that this thread started. Expectations, once again, are pretty high on campus. I think most of acknowledge that the situation in net will dictate how this season plays out.

Anyone want to venture a guess on the final Hockey East (and overall) records for the Hawks for this season?

I'll go with:

Regular Season: 21-9-4
Hockey East: 12-8-2 (3rd Place)
Loss in HE Semi Finals.
NCAA birth this time.

Dave Hendrickson picks Lowell to finish 3rd in Hockey East while Jim Connelly picks them to finish 2nd: http://www.uscho.com/2015/10/06/retu...-umass-lowell/

I think I see Lowell finishing 2nd. I just don't see BU being a top 2 team with all of the losses they suffered. Same goes with PC. Lowell should make the NCAAs, but they need to take care of business with their OOC schedule.

I see their record looking something like 15-5-2 for 32 points.

Like Monty mentioned, this team will only go as far as Boyle can bring them. I don't see scoring as being a big concern. The defense will probably be a little worse that last year to start, but hopefully bringing back 4 starters should keep them stable until the new guys get their legs.

Is anyone going out to Duluth at the end of the month for the tournament. I would like to go if anyone else is going.

Any thoughts on who will dress tomorrow night? Pretty hard to a get a feel on the freshmen based on Sunday with the whole roster getting ice time. To me it seemed like Dmowski and Townsend played most of the game and looked good.

I'm going with 13-6-3 for 28 points in HE play. Overall, 22-7-5.

So should i break down and buy the stream for the season? Or rely on the radio feed. Meant to ask this summer, but is the stream quality worth it?

Haven't ever tried it.

Haven't ever tried it.

I figured that's true for most people here, but figured I'd ask

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

It's ok... I think it's overpriced for what you're getting considering how many schools have transitioned to HD feeds.

It really comes down to how many games you think you will watch. I went for the year package because my local social life has dropped off and I think I'll watch that often.
