  • Re: 2016/2016 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago

    It's been an ugly start to the year for Hockey East's OOC schedule. Lowell needs two more Ws next week at home, and then keep it rolling when they go to corn city in two weeks.

      Great to get any sweep, and even better to be there to see it. Great job by the Alumni department with some of the events they put together out there, and a really cool moment to get the chance to speak with the Chancellor. She seems an amazing woman.

      Tough matchup coming on Friday with a SLU squad that won their two games against HE competition 10-3 this weekend. Some similarities in their start with ours so far, as they have 18 goals already this season (in 4 games), while giving up 10. We're at 17-10.

      Interesting to note the differences on a Friday night and a Saturday night so far. Both nights have the same record, but GF-GA are 12-9 on Friday and 5-1 on Saturday. It's early, so I'm not sure it tells us anything except that the staff is doing a good job of fixing issues after night 1.

        Once Wall starts on a Friday if that trend continues it'll definitely be interesting

                  2 of three goals should never have happened if Winnipeg had mediocre defense. The first one was soft

                    Check out this goal by Wisconsin's Cameron Hughes against BC on Sunday. Hughes is a Bruins draft choice.

                        Still 9th in the RPI. Almost assured an at large bid except... yeah.

                          I know current success is no guarantee for the future, but is there reason to believe they will still be good next season? Or will they be losing some key players?

                            At bare minimum they are losing their top scorer (Fernandez) and the starting goalie. I am expecting a step back, but they should still be competitive. But I really don't follow college soccer at all.

                              Starting goalie is a Junior, so I don't see why he'd leave? They do lost Fernandez, and four other seniors. Only two of those others saw real playing time this year, so basically they lose two every-day starters and Fernandez (only started 5 of 12 so far).

                              They bring back three of their top 5 point getters for next year. They've got a couple of good recruits as well. I don't know if they'll have this type of year next year, but they're building something there.

                                My mistake, I was going from memory instead of looking it up. I thought I remembered seeing a popup on stream calling him a Senior, but I am mistaken.
