Re: UML '09/'10 Season Thread
The 2 goal differential certainly did no justice to the way Lowell played tonight. After Wellman's goal Lowell really picked up the pace and looked like a totally different team and were skating circles around UMass. I thought Dainton played pretty well, until the the last ten minutes and without him that game could have been easily a blowout. I know Vallorani had the hat-trick but my first star had to be Dehner for his multiple point effort, and excellent defensive and physical play. Congratulations Minutemen, you are now official in your usual slump!

I honestly felt the 1-0 deficit for Lowell wasn't deserved at the end of 1, as I thought Lowell had the run of play in the first. A lucky bounce on a blocked pass attempt, and all of a sudden the puck was in the net.
A second goal hurt, but Lowell did what they did against Merrimack at home a few games ago. Just said "Nope, we're not losing this one," and just attacked UMass.
I honestly don't remember the last time I saw a Lowell team just dominate possession for a two minute or so stretch ... when Lowell took the 3-2 lead. UMass just couldn't clear the puck, and you could see the legs starting to go ... it was almost (heh) sad to watch. The Minutemen on the ice could just barely get off the ice while Lowell celebrated.
A good and important win prior to four straight non conference games coming up. This should also keep Lowell in the Top 10 hopefully.
I know it was snowing, but where were the students? Those that came were great. Wish there'd been more.
BTW, voting for the player of the game is open.

Kinda funny, huh? Now other teams trap against UMass. BTW, you will not find me complaining about Lowell's trap last night, as it is a legitimate strategy.

Slight sign of relief. I too thought they outplayed Amherst in the first period. Now, bring on Princeton!

Well, Lowell's finished off the first half of the season in Hockey East in fourth place currently with a 5-4-1 record (11 points). There's a huge cluster of teams that are within one win of that record, including third place Maine (who has played one more game than Lowell).
Lowell has played 6 of it's first 10 league games at home (and was 4-2 in those games). Starting in January, Lowell will have 8 of 17 league games at home.

Lowell falls one spot from 8th to 9th in the USCHO poll.
Also, Vallorani is named HE Player of the Week.

Vallorani was on fire against UMass. He should shoot more as he has a deadly shot.
Lowell should win both games this weekend.

Saw this in Yesterday's Lowell Sun. It was at the end of a Chaz Scoggins article.
"Word is that UML sophomore defenseman Tim Carr, who has yet to play a minute for the River Hawks, will be transferring after this semester to a Division III school where he can play regularly. Carr is the son of the university's all-time leading scorer, Mike Carr."
