    Seal Lady was (is?) a fairly antagonistic regular fan at the Whit. Took delight in dissing the opposing fans rather than just cheering for her team's success or bemoaning the downsides. I always thought she was pretty classless, a stark contrast to the vast majority of the home crowd when I went up there. I've generally enjoyed my visits there with many fans offering friendly greetings.

      Why Seal Lady? Did she wear a fur coat? Disparage UML by making seal-like sounds, motions or balancing a ball on her nose?
      I will not be out cheered in my own building.

        Agreed. We saw her at Durham in January and she was at Tsongas last year. Still her old, fun loving self.

          I hope that discipline show was on purpose

          Otherwise, there's a lot to be worked on and very little time left to do it.... they can't be letting anger and emotions take over if they want to take home hardware.

            The refs were straight up trash tonight. Lowell was getting called for the same crap UNH was getting away with.

            Lowell outplayed UNH for the second night in a row, except tonight Wall didn't put them behind the 8 ball in the first period. If not for an absolutely ridiculous decision by two Lowell penalty killers to jump up into the offensive zone and completely ignore their defensive responsibilities coupled with a just as ridiculous decision by the first two penalty killers to pass to the trailer on a 2-on-1 and miss horribly that game is a shut out. I would really appreciate it if Lowell wouldn't commit a horrific turnover that leads to a goal in game three, two gimmes is enough.

              Good outcome last night as Lowell's compete level was much better and they played with much more pace to their game and as 5 man units. I really like the fact that they had some grit to their game and played with some physicality. Even though this team is not designed or has the make-up to wear teams out with their physical play , they are a much better team who they finish checks and win battles on the walls and tough areas of the ice. I agree that they need to be more disciplined as the penalties last night could have been a difference against a team with a more potent power play. Their PK last night was very good.

              In that regard, Lowell needs to get their power play going. The break has certainly impacted the timing. The fact that there are no right-handed shots on either of the first 2 units really affects the options they have and the points of attack. Teams have now viewed enough film on Lowell now to defend against this. The second unit has become very predictable in their attack while the first unit has enough skill to create different options but needs to make quicker decisions and more simple plays in succession as opposed to always looking for the text book play. The PP has been a big part of this team's offence and will need to get on track very soon if they are going to have continued success.

              You work hard all year to get home ice advantage. This plus Lowell's depth should give them the edge in today's deciding game. A strong start, good specialty teams, making good, smart decisions and recognizing when to make simple plays will be important factors in a Lowell victory today.

                    First of all, I don't root for anyone in the press box. Secondly, I shouldn't even reply, but here's my tweet...really seems to be that I'm rooting for the Wildcats:

                      This x 1000. Where does Cox even infer he's rooting for UNH?
