The fact that you feel this way about Todd makes me like him all the more. Scrappy and gets under the opposing team's skin. Like a Brad Marchand. Love those players when they're on your team, hate em when they wear the opposing sweater.

He's probably a few years older than Marchand.

Will Merrimack be giving him a big cake when he turns 25 soon?

So not sure what was the diagnosis with Suter after last night's game, but via twitter, it sounded like he was at the hospital today and he got good news:

Every female worker at the hospital reminds me of Mickey Wards sisters in #thefighter #thatmtv*****chahleene

It's hard to believe the UML baseball and softball teams have started all ready. The baseball team went 1-2 and the softball team went 4-1 over the weekend.

It's been a long long time since we went through a full Hockey East weekend, and Lowell fans were actually down.

#4 UML men's basketball won their playoff game yesterday 86-68. There were no upsets with all the top four seeds winning.
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

I do like one thing going into this weekend, if Lowell finishes in a tie with any one team, they win every one of those tiebreakers (I think BC's won the HE crown, so I'm not counting them).

BC has not won the HE crown as of yet (at least officially).

Mr. Ellis was correct that Lowell still had a chance at the #1 seed on the post-game show last week, but Lowell can only get a share of the HE regular-season title. Mathematically, this happens with a Vermont sweep of BC, UML sweep of PC, BU only taking two of the four points against NU, and Maine finishing in third. All teams would have 35 points. The round-robin tiebreaker between the teams would be 3-3, the conference wins would also be equal at 17, so best record against Maine which Lowell wins 2-1, BC and BU are 1-2. BC wins tiebreaker if Merrimack in third, we would get second with H2H on BU.

Again while possbile, I'd put this scenario with the same chance of hitting Powerball.

Oh I know ... just saying I think it's over.

Lowell falls to 8th in the country after this weekend, while BC moves to 1st, BU moves up to 4th, and Maine and Merrimack stay where they were (10th and 12th respectively).
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

I haven't looked at it recently... but by my last figuring... including the next round of games... we need 3 points or 2 wins to make the NCAAs.

I want to see that be a formality. Take all four this weekend. If they can't get themselves up for this weekend then they'll deserve their fate. Its all within reach.

That would be ideal, to already have a spot in the NCAAs regardless of what happens in the HE playoffs.

UMA is currently the last TUC team. How much of an impact will it have if UMA drops out of being a TUC team?
Click to expand...

straight answer "don't know, don't wanna look" after the games of this weekend... straighter answer... depends entirely on what losing three wins in the TUC does... I'd wager they'll be out of TUC. Who do they play this week?
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

I just want to point out that when Gumby is present we do not lose. (We didn't win this last Sat but we didn't lose either!)

Home and home with Merrimack.

Merrimack will be tough but UMA is fighting for their playoffs lives with NU. UMA and NU have both had some big wins over the past couple of weekends to keep their playoff hopes alive. If the season ended today they would have to go to the third tie breaker to see who gets in.

HE Tie-breakers:
1. Head-to-Head.
2. Number of wins in conference play.
3. Best record against the first-place team(s), then the second-place team(s), then the third-place team(s), and so on.
4. Coin Flip.
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

I just want two points on Friday night to get back on track and hopefully release some monkeys (a win @ PC, home ice, no trip to Maine) off of their backs. We can worry about NCAA implications on Saturday night, win or lose.
