Jerry's actually not bad, doesn't make excuses unlike Quinn at BU complaining about playing against older players when he has half the NHL draft on his roster and can't get their act together. Although we really need BU to come through tonight with a win or tie so Lowell shares the regular season title and is #1 seed...don't need Notre Dame winning anything.

And Lowell's up to 6th in pairwise. Keep thinking back to that opening series against Minnesota-Duluth who is currently 2nd and the two ties. Lowell was ahead in both games and gave up the leads (actually winning one in OT but the goal was disallowed). Too bad as those two ties converted to wins could have had us in a solid 1-4 seed instead of a #2 at the moment. But still lots to play so anything can happen.

Actually, changing both of those ties to wins would only move Lowell up to #5 overall. College Hockey News lets you edit game results to see the changes in Pairwise.

Ahhh, ok. Thanks!

Have fun with the new roommate you took in last night. You finally win something at a game and it's a giant bear and not the 50/50 jackpot.

I agree with everything ever said about Fake Hockey East in this thread, and with them on the pairwise bubble right now I don't even want them representing our conference in the NCAAS. Just another reason to root for the Terriers tonight.

This weekend as secured Lowell a spot (99.9% probability) in the NCAAs again this year... unless they somehow, maybe, lose 2 to Amherst in two weeks and every conference has a non at large team win their tournament.

Lowell Sun recap

Boston Globe recap

Did the Lowell Sun reporter even watch the game?

Nineteen seconds into the period, Dylan Zink sent a pass from the left wing boards in the Eagles zone onto John Edwardh's stick and he unleashed a hard, one-timer from the high slot that beat BC goaltender Joseph Woll.

If by "unleashed a hard one-timer" you mean threw a changeup at the net that beat Woll five hole, then yes, that's a hard one-timer.

...found Kenny Hausinger in the middle of the ice, who received Kamrass' pass and quickly fed it to his right to Ryan Lohin. Lohin wasted no time in putting a wrist shot past Woll for his ninth goal of the season.[

And if by "putting a wrist shot past Woll" you mean the puck bounced off Lohin's body, then correct again.

Wow.

As The Great One said, just bring it.

Bobby Orr said that?

Poetic license. As they say in golf: "It's not how...it's how many."

LOL! Real Pulitzer Prize level stuff. Alternative facts and "fake news."

Makes you yearn for the days of Chaz Scoggins, doesn't it?

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

and with tonight's results the River Hawks get the #1 seed... we'll see what this means later... mostly it does mean avoiding providence in the quarters

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

Share of the regular season title was more than I expected coming into this year. Very good regular season overall. Hopefully we can hold onto this momentum for the next month.

And uvm and looking like Merrimack

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

Meanwhile Penquins are up 2-1 late in the second over the Flyers outdoors in Pittsburgh. Scott Wilson assisted on the first goal by Crosby and Chad Ruhwedel was on ice for the second.

Pretty impressive finish going 7-0 down the stretch and needing every single one of those points to get the 1 seed.

If I had to guess...we will be playing the Huskies ( either NU or UCONN )... teams we went 1-2-1 against. With that said... I like where the team is at and like our chances to get back to the Garden.
