With yesterday's win Lowell reached .500 in Division 1 for the first time since being 7-7 on 11/30/84.

Lowell is 588-580-109 all-time in Division 1.

The win over Dartmouth on New Year's Eve pushed Lowell above .500 in D1 all-time. They briefly dropped below .500 again, then went back above .500 for good after beating Northeastern on February 3rd.

Can't find postgame for Notre Dame coach but this quote from the postgame press conference sums it all up:

"As much as we’ve been proud to be a member of Hockey East, its never felt like we’ve belonged here. It’s a crazy thought, but it’s just the way it is. It’s certainly not by anyone’s actions or anything like that. You just don’t feel like you necessarily belong."

Gee, ya think?

Strange, I was reminding them of that all game.

With yesterday's win Lowell reached .500 in Division 1 for the first time since being 7-7 on 11/30/84.

Now that's an amazing stat.

An incorrect one too.

Well, I was only working off the "team history" page from USCHO's Lowell page which has them at .500 today. Why are they wrong?

Don't know why, but they have a lot of things incorrect. Bob Ellis and I have been tracking this all season and it's been in the game notes every single week this year.

The uscho page has 03-04 season at 10-23-7. Lowell record book for that year has it at 15-18-7, but mentions that 5 games were forfeited. Something is amiss.
Let's hope we have finally turned that corner this year and never turn back

From a friend that wishes to remain anonymous:

"St. Patrick chased all of the snakes out of Ireland… and UMass-Lowell chased the snakes out of Hockey East…."

In all my years of watching Hockey East I've never seen all fans united like they've been for the "GTFO Notre Dame" cause. It's glorious.

probably more than just that... IMO, forfeits are losses but i know colleges like to get cheeky about such things

It was great to see. Unfortunately we still have to tolerate Fake Hockey East representing the league in ncaas.

If any reads this. is going to the Garden, and can sneak up to the 9th floor, please *****-slap Alex Faust of NESN. He kept calling Nick Marin as Nick Martin and Jaffe never corrected him.

He also called Lohin "Logan" a few times. He was atrocious.

Not to make excuses (because I believe that regardless of the pay, you do the best job you can - that's how you get promoted to a better one), but several friends in the media have told me that it's well-known that NESN doesn't pay much for salaries. That's why there is such a huge turnover. It's kind of a "proving ground" for "talent" that has higher aspirations (look at Heidi Watney, Kathryn Tappan and many others - they didn't stay there long).

What is the best estimate of number of "embellishment" calls UML is called for?

Absolutely worthy of a *****-slap, I'd say. That's the most egregious mishandling of a name I've ever heard.
