Lowell @ Vermont, 2/28 and 3/1: Let the games commence!

Re: Lowell @ Vermont, 2/28 and 3/1: Let the games commence!

In the last 10 games the two match up like this....

UVM is 6-4-0 with 35GF and 24GA
UML is 6-2-2 with 33GF and 21GA

All in all it looks pretty even, but we have to remember that Lowell plays a cupcake schedule. If we add up the rankings for the teams played we see that the average for UVM is 24.8 while the average ranking of the UML opponents is 31.

Therefore, UVM has won the same number of games, scored more goals against tougher teams... while Lowell has has given up less goals to weaker teams.

As such there is no logical conclusion but to predict a weekend sweep at the Gutt for the Catamounts.

You look at the last 10 games and give a valid comparison. But those 10 games have nothing to do with a cupcake schedule.

BTW, in their last 10, UVM played BC at home twice, and 8 away games (which makes the 6-4 record look even more impressive).

Anybody from Lowell heading up there? Pick up some Heady Topper on your way back. It's the only redeeming product of that state. Well, that and Harpoon's Double Bag.

I'm heading up there on Friday for both games.

Nope, but they are the last 10 and the 10 that the stats were based on... But had it not been for Lowell's cupcake schedule I wouldn't have thought of looking that part up and assumed that things were pretty even.

Now I realize you Lowell fans don't like stats but I don't trust your eyeball test so screw it... I'm using stats.

But the problem is that you're actually showing that the last 10 games were pretty even when you use the stats for the last 10 games? I'm a bit confused as to why you're correlating Data Set A with a Data Set B that wasn't being argued?

I'm not following... there is no data set B. Everything is based on the last 10 games.... period...

The last 10 games were pretty even... but Lowell played a weaker set of opponents in their last 10 then Vermont did in their last 10...

I thought you were showing the stats for 10 games, and then mentioning Lowell's "cupcake" schedule for the year. My apologies, I misunderstood.

BTW, Lowell's opponents the last 10 games are the same as UVM's (and I already noted UVM's 8 road games) except for Lowell playing UMass, while you guys played NU. Outside of that, we played three of the same opponents for 6 games, and we both played teams currently at 20 points (UNH and PC).

The cupcake schedule reflects your 34 ranked SOS (which I wasn't citing). The average opponent ranking of 31 was from the last 10 games

But yeah they pretty much played the same teams and came away with the same number of wins... UVM scored more goals and Lowell let in 3 less I think... but they had the benefit of playing UMA and a falling PC while UVM played UNH and NU.

Considering the evenness of the two teams a split makes sense, but since I propose UVM has played slightly better and it is at the Gutt I will predict a UVM sweep.

once again no students at Gutt this weekend as spring break starts on Friday, sucks, most of the home games have been during break this season. The Gutt is very flat without the students these days despite a strong product on the ice

Is this the same Gutt where Lowell has a winning record all-time and UVM is only 2-6 in league games this season? Oh wait, those pesky facts are getting in the way of your argument again.

It is the same Gutt... an away game... you know on the road where UML is winless against conference opponents in the top 16 of the PWR...

Your reading comprehension skills are whats getting in the way. If you could read you would see I was making a statement of opinion not a statement of fact and therefore was not making "An argument." Look I know you got a ****ty education at Lowell but they teach you the difference in this stuff way back in elementary school for christ's sake...

Regardless have it your way... Lowell has better goaltending then even BC, they have a winning record at the Gutt, UVM is only 2-6 at home... anything less then a sweep by UML would be a huge disappointment and a likely indication that playing a cupcake schedule has the team over rated.

The Crackheads sweep the Hempheads.

Rather be a hemphead than a crackhead ;-) You know, since one kind of leads to congestive heart failure (among other things).
