Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
To say that was a game Vermont "should" have won just highlights your utter stupidity.
It would be much more accurate to say "wow Lowell, next time don't take two penalties on the PP and give hope to a team whose throat you're standing on."
Sure, give Vermont credit for battling back. Saying they should have won, on the other hand, is laughable.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
I was unable to attend the game but looking at the boxscore it would appear that your two penalies may have been a turning point in the game but thats really it. Getting outshot 14-4 in the third?? That may have had a little something to do with it.
As for Madore giving up early goals costing UVM, not really either. THat's the end result of Miller and Cullity our two captain d-men taking a parade through the penatly box along with Lenoard.
Miller and Cullity need to stop going to the penalty and Sneddon needs to pull some "c's" if that's what it takes.

seriously... not watching the game and all I'd have to think these guys can play much more disciplined than they have been. Don't give them opportunities to come back into the game.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
Your coach was not to impressed
'I would say it was a very disappointing game for us and I think you have to credit UVM for making us play that way,” McDonald said. “We need to and we can play a lot better than we did tonight.”
To be honest Lowell was very happy to get a tie and it showed in the last 15 mintues as they over and over would dump the puck and not forecheck at all letting Vermont clear the zone for free. You would think they were still protecting a lead.
The 4th line probably had the best game any 4th line has had for a long time even thou they didnt score. They even got a shift in OT.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
May have been a turning point? If you don't call a 3-1 lead and being on the PP to going on the PK 4-3 and making it a one goal game a turning point I don't think you understand the definition of the phrase. At that point in the game Lowell was 2-4 on the PP and had Vermont on the ropes.
Give full credit to Vermont for turning this game 180 after that point, but do you really think Vermont out shoots Lowell 14-4 if it's a three goal lead instead of a one goal lead going into the third? I'll say most likely not.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
Full credit to UVM for their resilience in coming back and getting the point. Thanks for not getting two.
As Patronick pointed out, UML had UVM on the ropes but couldn't put them away. We never, ever gave up and still had some scoring chances near the end up but after those two penalties, UVM got some life and built on it.
Catlover, yes, there were way too many dump ins; frustrating to watch knowing that when you do that, you take the foot off the gas and give the opponent possessions they haven't 'earned' by taking the puck from you.
I agree with the coach about not being pleased. I wish he'd taken a time out in the 3rd to help shift the momentum back with a tactic change or something.
Our 4th line is pretty cool and have been playing well all year.
My final thought is that if our program is turning the corner and truly is going to be an NCAA team, this was a game we needed to have put away and won. On to UNH.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
Disappointing result ... always is when you blow a 2 goal lead. Lowell has led in every game that they've either tied/lost. I'm sorry, at this point, that's not the sign of a successful tournament team. You've got to put those games away. I guess the positive side ... they took a point on the road.
I got to listen to the game a bit, and was surprised Coach MacDonald didn't use this time out when the game was tied up, just to calm the kids.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
Lowell was in the drivers seat up 3-1 although the play to that point had been even despite UVM taking too many undisciplined penalties. One of the lowell goals was also deflected in off Miller's stick, unfortunate for Vermont.
yup, big turning point. From then on UVM was dominant and they should have gotten the W given their domination through the 3rd period. Two posts, and a bunch of wide and high shots on partially open nets cost them. they also failed to convert three clear 2 on 1's
Overall a good game.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
Another interesting thought is that without Video replay Lowell would have lost this game. I sat there knowing it was going to be called a goal, even from my seats from the other side of the VT bench I thought the puck went in, if it had hit pipe it would not have dropped straight down back in the same direction of the shot.
So the Lowell rule(as some of you have put it)pays early dividends.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
If Benedetto was the ref last night, UVM would have won, because even with replay, he would have called it a no goal.

The only thing lethal about UML was their powerplay. 5 on 5 they looked like ****.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
It doesn't get any easier tomorrow afternoon against UNH. They have to be feeling pretty good after their come back against BC.
I agree, Lowell can, and needs to play much better. After seven games I'm not sure they have played an "A" game yet this season.

Another interesting thing is that with out review, who knows what would have happened in NCAA regional final. That was a goal and last night's tip was a goal, really not much else to say.
Nothing was decided last night, in fact, it only highlighted how close these teams are to one another.
Vermont had their A game all night long and Lowell looked a bit flustered on the bigger ice sheet. The effort was there but Lowell appeared to not want to skate with the Catamounts. This "crack" defense/goaltending of Lowell in my mind has been a bit disappointing overall this season but the bottom line was that they were able to hold the point. In my mind two of Vermont's goals were soft. Lowell's PP though is the best I've seen so far in 15 years.
Vermont did well to tie the game and Lowell did well to kill a key PP that was a really dumb penalty to take in the offensive zone at that point of the game. Two good teams battling to a tie and we again take a point from the Gutterson Field House.
Lowell has to find way to hold two-goal leads in hockey games now or we could be enjoying the same fate that Vermont did last year, a first round exit in the HE playoffs.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6
It didn't 'lead' to it, you'd already earned it but the loss probably dropped your seeding. If you're going to be smarmy about it, at least get your facts in order.Though a first round exit in the HE east playoffs last year led to a frozen four appearance

you want vermont fans to rely upon facts? you're barkin' up the wrong tree there, kemosabe.
