2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

What a bunch of lumbering cheap shot artists. Refs let that game get out of control by letting Cornell continually take runs at Lowell players.

Strong performance, dominate win. Time to see who's on the menu for tomorrow night.

Yes, Cornell Sucks, as does their coach and their fans. Nice win. Was cheering for you all the way. You played Cornell perfectly. Good game plan. well executed.

Glad to have the win in the bag and (I think) everyone got out without being injured. Chatter in our section was speculating on the number (and duration) of ice baths needed for our guys.

Yeah hopefully everyone can move tomorrow morning. Mueller took it especially tough!

I don't pay enough attention to the HE, but is there a team similar to Cornell (bigger, less speedy players with an emphasis on defense and trapping) in terms of playstyle? Probably not but I'm curious.


Also, I always find it strange that so many people consider Cornell a "dirty" team when there are actual dirty teams in the conference (like say Dartmouth). Neverending reputation I guess.

I didn't see anything dirty per se. Seen worse.

I thought the major was a angry play and contact occurred but not serious to me. Not a real headshot.

Yeah on TV it seemed like they played right on the edge. Not dirty like say one Joe Diamond, but very happy to finish their checks.

Physicality and obstruction penalties have been a staple of Big Red hockey for nearly 2 decades, so that sounds about right.

Did you see the game today? I would wager that's what people are talking about, particularly Lowell fans.
 
Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

I now get fired up every time Ryan Lohin jumps over the boards the same way I do for Joey G.

I was thinking the same thing. I stayed for the second game and it looked like the Gophers were going to run ND out of the building. Once ND tied it up they played well. Anders Bjork was on a mission. The Hawks better be ready to go.

At least there will be two different colors. It was a sea of red when we played them? But seriously, maybe they'll be better today. Besides, I think people have pretty much been able to select sections that allow them to sit with their own fans. At MSG we were pretty dispersed and among a lot of Cornell fans. But today will be "blue" vs "red."

What we saw was not clean play. cheap stabs after play, elbows to the head seemed to be a specialty in the corners. There were a few I really don't understand how the ref didn't call them. I get the intensity and the let them play thing but there were at least 2 really nasty hits from behind right in front of us. Our guy was facing us and the Cornel guy slammed him from behind complete with the head snap into the glass. Not OK. Wouldn't be OK if our guy did it either.

Watched just a little of the Goofs and the ugly gold hats. Both sides seemed like they were big, slow and no flow. Left before it got interesting. Got back in time to see the goal that wrecked the OT game I wanted to see.

Wait until tomorrow, there will be even more there. Don't forget parade that goes until 2pm and pregame starts at 1:30 so allow time and alternate routes to find parking. We know how much you love Manchester's traffic management during events.

Yes, Cornell was quite the bunch of dirtbags. Agreed that there were some just head-scratching moments when you couldn't understand why penalties weren't being called. Lots of extracurriculars taking place on the part of Cornell, often right in front of the refs. They finally had to call something after that hit to CJ with around 6 left in the third, totally uncalled for. And it was a 5 minute major for interference? Crazy.
