Have to admit, anything less than 3 points this weekend would be disappointing.
We're now 5 points out of second place with three games in hand on NU (who owns the tie-breaker).
From a medical standpoint, there is no reason to wait in an ER to get an x ray if it won't change the plan. Generally speaking, unless someone has something that is so displaced you need to do surgery, splinting, icing and elevating is the standard plan until regular office hours. Pro-Sports does a lot of unnecessary things because they have a ton of money. Pretty sure they must need to repeat a lot of those images later when stuff settles down.I know depending on the injury, you sometimes have to wait till the swelling goes down. Not sure if that applies here.
That's basically why I said three points.No excuse for Lowell to lose to Merrimack at Tsongas. Lawler is sometimes tough place for opponents to win.
Don't know if anyone else noticed this or not, but the game at UMass a week from Saturday has been pushed up to a 6pm faceoff and will be on NESN.
Given the way Merrimack has played so far, anything less than 4 points this weekend would be disappointing.
Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN- According to the Merrimack athletic dept., only single seats and standing room tickets are left for Merrimack-Lowell on Sat. night
The University of Maine men’s hockey team’s 14-year affiliation with the Florida College Classic in Estero, Fla., has come to an end because UMaine is adding nonconference games against New Hampshire and is trying to save travel costs.
I’m a little surprised and disappointed. We always enjoyed having them down here,” said Craig Brush, owner and general manager of the Florida Everblades. “But I respect Red’s decision. We’ll find another host school.”
In the last month, MC has beaten #11 Clarkson (on the road), #5 QU at home (who swept Lowell) and tied #4 PC at Fenway. I know their record isn't that good, but just expecting four points seems a bit much.
