Re: UML 2018/2019 Season: Back to Bazin Basics
Tonight is the biggest character test this team will face after getting blown off the ice like that. Norm jumped on the grenade with his post-game comments re: preparation. Providence did all of the things our team usually does well. Great puck suppport/hounding carriers and keeping the game in front of them while getting pucks deep and winning the body game/puck battles. We won 25 faceoffs compared to Providence's 37. That needs to change tonight.

The Reid Stefenson penalty was 100 percent his fault very undisciplined 3rd for Lowell, not like them at all

No idea how the refs missed that spear on Hernberg that led to the Baxter penalty. Hard to comeback when your playing shorthanded for almost half the period.

They just ran into a better team this weekend. On to Merrimack.

Should have been matching minors on that missed call by the refs. That Reid penalty was bad and he has done that before, freshmen are going to freshmen
Need to regroup now and make sure we play mistake-free hockey against a team on paper we should beat both nights
Curious to know why Connor sat tonight, but I'm pretty sure I know why....

Better team providence no question senior Wilson out what does that tell you

A very disappointing weekend. Agree, PC was the better team. Thankfully I missed the Friday night game which sounded like a real butt kicking by PC. I watched last night's game on tv and I think it came down to a bounce and PC got it. The bad penalties in the third didn't help. I actually yelled at the tv when the Hawks had an odd man rush at the end of the game. I think it was 3 on 2 and the shot went wide and out of the zone. Hit the net!! Get it on net and let the guys crashing pick up a rebound. I have no idea why Wilson missed last night's game. Did he get hurt Friday night?
I'll take 3-2 in the last 5 games against that competition. I'm not sure anyone would have predicted that the team would be on a 9-2-1 run, tied for second place in the league and ranked 14th in the pairwise at this point of the season. Time to regroup and get ready for Merrimack. 5 tough games left in the regular season. One game at a time and no nights /shifts off.

Bad weekend for most Lowell teams ...
Basketball lost a close one at UMBC (yes, the same one that pulled off the 16-1 upset last year). We already know about hockey. But the worst ... baseball went off to perennial contender Arizona and lost all four games, which isn't all that surprising. The combined 69-17 score is embarrassing as hell though.

I saw those baseball scores too. Talk about a tough start and there's no rest for the team as their next 6 games are against #9 Georgia and #7 North Carolina.

I get that you want to play tough competition to prep for the AE season, but are results like this actually helpful?

I didn't think that would happen in baseball but all three schools (Zona, UGA, UNC) are use baseball as a revenue-producing sport. If they are getting paid to show up it beats having to go to Florida for a month and pay for it yourself I suppose.

Hopefully they got something out of these games other than frustration. The benches cleared in the third game of the series.

Here's the thing though is they've played teams of this caliber in the early season before without being pummeled to kingdom come so I dont know if its lack of practice or what. I mean our bats did alright... hopefully they can right the ship against high caliber opponents.

To state the obvious there is a huge talent gap between D1 Programs like Lowell and D1 programs in warm climate areas. Any way you cut it we are at a competitive disadvantage with those schools on the diamond.
