  • Battle for the Alumni Cup: UMass v UML, 1/15 and 1/16

    Big weekend for the the sister schools as they play each other at Amherst on Friday night and then at Lowell Saturday. UML and UMass are currently tied for the last home-ice spot in HE, but Lowell has played one less game than UMass. They are both 2 points behind BC (who has also played one more than UMass).

    I think the win for UMass yesterday at NU was huge for the team and their fans.

    Thoughts?

    Which UMass team shows up? The one that gave up touchdowns in consecutive games or the one that thoroughly dominated Northeastern?

    If it's the team from last night it will be an awesome series. If it's the other, it'll be ugly.

      I think the one thing that scares me as a Lowell fan is if the undisciplined play continues. Lowell's given up 28 power plays in the last four games which isn't normal for a Coach MacDonald team. They've given up 5 goals in those 28 (82.1% kill rate).

        Anyone making the trip to Amherst on Friday? I'll most probably be making the trip to the worst arena in Hockey East. I said it.

        Between the neanderthal students and Mullins being a crappy place to watch hockey there isn't anything to like about that place.
        Let's go Lowell.

              I'm making the trip out.

              The students will still be on break I believe. I know Lowell students don't start classes until the 25th.

                Classes don't start till Tuesday so you might not have to worry about the students. Heck, it might even look like a game played at Tsongas!

                  Does that mean there won't be constant swearing?

                      "might even look" is not equal to "might even sound"

                        I was going to switch your comment around to fit mine, but decided just to leave it as it was.

                            Oh...sorry. Maybe we need more smack talk.

                            AHEM. Crack! Little sister school! 2004 Hockey East Quarter finals!

                            Honestly, I'm pretty nervous about this weekend; Lowell has been the harder working team the last 10-15 times these teams have played. UMass seems to bring out the best in them, so I'm not feeling real confident about this weekend. As much as winning the season series (for once) would be nice, for the course of the rest of the season, I'll be happy with a split.
                            It's easy to root for a winner...

                              That's better.

                              I'm not sure why it seems like Lowell takes the games against UMass more serious (or so it appears from the results). It's strange.
