Vital game tonight ... get the W, keep BC rolling backward. Or, they come here looking for a sweep tomorrow.

Who's heading to BC Thursday night? Shake Shack might be a possibility for pre-game around the corner.

Have you picked up a ticket yet? I have an extra since Mom isn't up to joining us tonight.

I'll sign up for 3 pts right now.

I'll start with settling for 2 points tomorrow, then we'll see what happens on Friday.

Article in today's Lowell Sun that has some BC series preview information as well as some miscellaneous notes including info on Panico with Bazin saying "defenseman Tommy Panico, who suffered a head injury vs. UMass on Feb. 11, remains out."

But I guess according to Carvel the Amherst coach, as noted by someone here last weekend, he was quoted as saying "somebody inside the league, per their coach, said that "that penalty shouldn't have been a penalty much less a five minute major"... you guys saw it, I didn't." What a ******. Not liking this Carvel very much and he sounded very frustrated after the game Saturday too. What was he expecting when he took the coaching job at the dumpster fire (oh I'm sorry, "flagship")?

If my math is correct...if we take 3 points this weekend vs BC, we will be locked in as the 3 seed. We will not be able to move any higher or lower based on the tie breakers.

the biggest one that has put the kibosh on NCAA themed video games.

I asked mr les. They can't have names because it would mean using the player's name for benefit. Chock this up to one more stupid NCAA rule. Some day the NCAA may actually think before making a rule but probably when I am long gone.

Well. It's a legitimate one which has lead to lawsuits... the biggest one that has put the kibosh on NCAA themed video games.

If it were allowed then the student could sue because somebody else is profiting off of their likeness... otherwise you'd have to explicitly pay the athlete.

It's a rabbit hole, les

From what I have read online in some other forums for other sports, the rule is the nameplates need to be removed for players that are still eligible and with the team.

I noticed the Senior Jerseys were not part of the auction. Not sure if they are waiting to sell those with nameplates after the season, or maybe they are letting the Seniors keep them as gifts.

the school can't gift them, iirc, but they can sell them at cost

I know someone asked and I can't remember the answer- why are the nameplates off the shirts that are out for bid?

College Hockey News brought back their Pairwise Probability Matrix.

Right now, it has Lowell making the NCAAs 90% of the time, mostly likely in the 7-10 range, but there's at least one scenario that gets us to #2 overall.
