2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

[Patman]

Trust me, it's way better to have them, than not to have them.

One man's "stress" can be another man's fun.

Uh huh.... I'll let you know when my body feels pain again

Lowell has the 'too many men' line change down to a science, but usually it's on the defensive end of the ice. Opponent breaking out of zone 2 on 1 and suddenly it's a 2 on 3. Lowell sends 2 men over the boards to defend while the guys they are changing for are still 5'-10' away from the bench. Smart play if they get away with it, which they do often in Hockey East games I have seen.

That being said, I was WAY off on my prediction.... happy about that too. Go Lowell!

. Terrible change by Lowell on the ND tying goal, virtual 3-5

Nobody said it was going to be easy Lowell. Give credit to the Irish.

^^ full video of the play

The contact seemed to be equally initiated and continued. You could possibly make a case that the ND guy yanked the stick out of Zink's hand at the end, but Zink is making little effort to disengage there. The only thing I could possibly see being called there are matching minors, and in playoff OT that's a real tough call to get.

Tough break. Had you picked all the way. Lowell is a **** good team. Should be proud. Will be back next year.

There was a similar play that went uncalled on lowell in the 3rd and they got a good chance out of it so I'm not surprised the play in ot was let go

I wasn't looking for a call but I did want to see it on replay

Fair enough. It's a tough play and an unfortunate bounce that went ND's way. Very similar thing happened to BU last night that led to UMD scoring - there's an element of luck associated with winning it all, you have to get a break or two in your direction.

Tough loss. You guys played really well and in my opinion were the better team most of the game. ND looked good to at times. Thanks for blowing up my bracket. Had you guys winning it...

That made things a whole lot harder to swallow than real time. where we were sitting the sight line didn't let me see it

Tough way to go down. Terrific season.

Thanks to the seniors for everything they've done for the program. One more year, CJ? Please?

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

Congrats River Hawks for a great season! Well done Notre Dame, you deserved the victory today.

I can't help but wonder how much yesterday's rough game against Cornell took some of the legs out of UML today. The 'Hawks never seemed to be able to generate any open ice speed. Also need to credit the Irish for a terrific game plan, taking away the usual UML passing lanes, out hustling, etc.

Congrats to the seniors and best of luck in the future wherever your paths may lead.

Great season by the boys! Tough way to go down... the refs let them play which in all honesty...doesnt suit us. We had some bad turnovers by guys that normally dont make those type of mistakes.
