Mike McMahon has Lowell 42nd in his preseason power rankings. The biggest reason, same as last year, and same as many of us have been saying for a couple of years ... utter lack of offense.
I thought I remembered Scott mentioning that the extension was about to be signed. But strangely, no, it's not public ... just did a search on google which found a Sun article (December 2021) showing Bazin said he was extended through this past season.
This is my biggest wish for this season. We haven't had a winning record at home the last three seasons, a combined 13-31-5 for a 26.5% home win rate. In other words, we're only barely winning one of out every four home games. This absolutely is embarrassing.
We can't deny that the luster of this program has worn off, at least according to those that cover Hockey East, as well as the other coaches in the league.
Feels strange to realize that the preseason game is 3 weeks from tonight. I won't be there, as I'll be traveling (you'll never guess why!). But I'll be trying to watch on ESPN+ if they're doing that again this year.
I truly don't get what the recruiting philosophy is at this point. Another commit who will be 21 next year, Braydon McCallum who will be with Peterborough in the OHL this season. Born 5/3/6 in Delhi, Ontario, he's 5'10, 192. His Elite Prospects page.
I don't disagree with you. If it's an option to make your team better, you should. I just don't think this should be an option for anyone, but we are where we are, so take advantage of it.
Seeing that tweet, I wonder if Franssen that was the one he was trying to bring in now? It would have provided him one more year of eligibility as he'll be 21 before the start of next season.
I don't know if there's anything to take out of it, but I find it interesting to see that of the 15 commits still listed (which includes 4 that might not wind up being part of the program), 10 are from Major Junior. If I take out those four 2006 DOB (Alibek, Olsen, Jacobs, Kresl) 10 out of 11...
3.75* according to NZ. He'll be 21 when he joins the program so he won't be in the program for four years (of course, with the transfer portal now, nobody is). At the most, he'd make it to his junior season.
I do find it interesting that there have been a couple of articles by Barry mentioning that they're still looking to bring someone else in for this year. Curious if it's another over 21, or are they trying to get someone to decommit from elsewhere and come into school earlier than expected.
Not hockey related, but as other sports are about to begin, I was looking at the roster for the Men's Soccer team. I remember a few years ago and looking at the roster for some of the other programs they played and seeing the heavy international side, but Lowell's best year at the D1 level...
