I don't think he had a lot to do with the 4 goals against. There was one big rebound for a goal, but it was a nice save in traffic.
One Lowell goal off a BC offensive end turnover was a beauty. Puck carrier and the goal scorer both had a man in their hip pocket... just pinpoint execution by Lowell. Other goals... BC guys standing around in D zone... Lowell banging home rebounds.

Best/worst non-goal of the night... Savage hands off puck to McGrath in Demko's crease. McGrath was just standing their alone as Savage began a rush from behind the net. Literally just handed it off to him. If McGrath were further away he probably would have scored. In too tight to maneuver.

A work in progress and a rebuilding year. Watching the game the D is waiting too long to get the puck quickly to the forwards. I do not like them trying to carry the puck and trying to dodge forecheckers rushing the puck up. That makes the forwards standing around waiting. Just move the puck up quickly and make good short passes. Make good decisions and execute their up tempo style. Taking untimely penalties hurt and they had trouble with puck possession and cycling the puck. Practically no shots on net for long periods of time. Really disappointing performance and RIT could be no picnic either unless they get it together. Football team is scoring and has a lead, and finally made a stop on D.

Perhaps BC needs Linell back on D.:)He was very good at getting the puck up ice although I don't know of many who cared for other parts of his D game. As harsh as it sounds BC would have done better with him on D last night.

Disagree, they need to stop playing too deliberate and just quickly move the puck up with short passes and hard skating. The defensemen are talented but they have to execute the breakout better now that the big line is gone. The forwards have to skate hard and be ready. How many times did I see them pass the puck back and forth in their end last night and then cough it up in their zone ? The power play was awful, no sense of urgency and too sloppy with the puck. People were not playing together and you can see it on the ice. I'd say for 9-10 minutes they did play well and other 50 minutes they just were out of sync and just were not with it.

Only the 1st game and but they need to do a lot of work this week and play that up tempo style and tight forechecking and back checking up and down the ice. For a team not suppose to be that good Lowell really handed it to BC and Baizin gets lots of credit from me for turning this program around and getting the most of his talent.

That app notified me of BC 1st goal 38 times (yes, I kept count). During the 1st intermission the app finally stopped telling me about the BC goal and finally got around to telling me that Lowell had scored 3 times. Hopefully they've fixed that glitch. The app worked without any problems last season.

Ha yup seems like that was a widespread issue.

Wasn't able to watch much beyond the first period but off the ledge everyone.

This is a talented team but of the top 6 forwards, all of them are underclassmen; of the 6 dmen, 5 are underclassmen; & the goalie is about a decade younger than half of UML's roster. It's going to take time.

Looking at the boxscore, 1 shot from the bottom 6? How is that even possible?

Oh it's possible when you look at the bottom 6 of the roster.

All things considered, we knew the bottom 6 would be meh. We knew the forwards like Cangelosi and Fitzgerald will need time to develop. The biggest thing for me was the infuriating game from #5 (again) and the flopping around of Demko allowing easy goals. For a team built from the net out, there wasn't much to be impressed with from that group. Hanifin does look good though.
