HE Quarterfinals - #8 Maine @ #1 Lowell

Re: HE Quarterfinals - #8 Maine @ #1 Lowell

UML Fans: Congratulations on a game well played, specifically a period extremely well played that really gave Maine no chance to recover. I was impressed with how Lowell refused to let up in the late stages of the game, they skated hard a full 60 minutes. In my opinion the game was definitely won fairly by Lowell, I am not delusional and do not think Maine played the game they had to in order to be up 1-0. That said the officiating last night was horrendous. UML was getting out hustled in the 1st period which led to an unbalanced number of powerplays in Maine's favor. I was unimpressed by the seeming "make up calls" that followed for UML. My feed of the game was being called by UML home town announcers and even they referred to the calls this way. I feel like if Maine wins tonight its going to be 1-0, 2-1 style grind it out hockey with Ouellette playing incredible. If the game gets wide open like last night, look for a quick UML sweep. I still give Maine a great chance tonight. And for all the Diamond haters out there, thank you. He is a grimey dirty cherry picking cheap shot 100 point career most penalty minutes in school history LEGEND. Your hate is merited and he deserves hate because hes awesome. Go Black Bears tonight, lets grab one out of the sewer that is Lowell.

Wow, Joey Diamond must have some time on his hands sitting around the hotel.

I'm not capable of rooting for Maine to lose, but I have to admit: If it's going to happen, how perfect is it that Lowell was the team doing the sweeping?

See, even Lowell knows when a coach isn't cutting it, and isn't afraid to make a change. Twice now.

Please
That was THE lamest major I have ever seen
He was pushed face first into the crossbar while he had the puck

I agree with KIA and that does not happen very often! Love Joey's intensity but will not miss him, he has failed to learn what Prestin Ryan eventually did, more valuable when he is on the ice than in the box.

lame or not, in what could be his last collegiate game, 8 minutes in, he was in the box for 5. joey goes hard to the net, and i love that about him, but he's also notorius for launching himself into the goaltender at the slightest of contact... couple that with the fact that he is never going to get the benefit of the doubt...

want to place odds on his behavior in the final five minutes if lowell is up 2 or 3?

1-0 Maine. Shore.

And back to the box goes diamond. in 4.5 periods or so, he has 13 minutes in penalties...

I'm with Larry. Even if they win and its not a DQ, Diamond sits. No matter how silly the first call was this is absurd.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinals - #8 Maine @ #1 Lowell

He wants to be sure no one breaks the record:D

The exact same thought went through my head.

Seeya Joey. Have a nice career in the low minors, for at least a few years. Won't miss ya.

Yeah I didn't see it, but if someone I trust says they saw it and it truly was a kick, I won't defend him again

Daughter-of - knowitall says she thinks Joey really injured a guy who was down on the ice for a while

Kicking in skates is just as bad as hip checking a goalie in the head while skating at full speed...

And I agree with the low minors... Nowhere near fast enough forvthe A

dan and larry said that houk (sp?) was slow heading off and that bazin went absolutely ballistic...
 
What game are you watching? Puck was long gone when he lead with an elbow to the face of the goalie with minimal contact.

I was right behind hellebyck when it happened
He had the puck when he was pushed, just outside the crease

Anyone else would not have been called for a minor

Were you watching Wilson's last full strength shift? One cross check in the corner on nemec, one hit from behind in the other end then he set a moving pick and ran into and interfered with 2 Maine players at his offensive blue line to allow a team mate to skate in untouched

Sucks when some stars are allowed to do whatever they want (peaves) and some guys get called for anytging
 
Re: HE Quarterfinals - #8 Maine @ #1 Lowell

....yet Maine fans will still swear up and down he's not a dirty player. He's been called for penalties this week I've never even heard of. TIMMAY deserves to be fired just for keeping this guy around.
