Hockey East Semifinals from the simulated thread

Massachusetts Lowell v. Massachusetts
Lowell and Amherst...a rivalry like no other...renewed itself this evening in the Hockey East Semifinals. John Leonard put the Minutemen up early, pushing his own rebound past Tyler Wall to put UMASS up 1-0. Wall kept Massachusetts off the board the rest of the way in the first period though, despite the Minutemen launching an incredible 16 shots on frame, and after one, UMASS led Lowell 1-0. The RiverHawks responded early in the second when Andre Lee took a loose puck in the near corner, and whistled a wrister on net that deflected off a Massachusetts defender and past Minutemen goalie Matt Murray and into the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1. Murray and Wall then battled in a classic goaltender dual in the second period, with Wall stopping each of UMASS' 9 shots on goal, and Murray fending off Lowell's last six shots of the period, and it was all square at 1-1 through forty minutes. Murray and Wall continued their dual in the third, with each goalie trying to outdo the other. With just over four minutes to play, Lowell's Lee got called for boarding. The officials reviewed the play to see if it would be called a major penalty for checking from behind. After a lengthy review, the minor call stood. Wall stood tall on the penalty kill, and after sixty minutes of action, the game remained tied 1-1. Both sides played cautious early in the extra frame, and it appeared that a second overtime would be necessary. However, with just over three minutes to play in overtime, Seth Barton launched a blast from the near boards that went wide on the near side, but ricocheted off the boards and right onto the stick of Lucas Condotta. Condotta lifted a wrister over the outstretched blocker of Murray and into the net to give the RiverHawks a 2-1 victory, and a spot in the Hockey East final.

Hockey East Championship

Maine v. Massachusetts – Lowell
The Black Bears and RiverHawks squared off this evening at the Garden with the Hockey East Championship on the line. Maine’s Jeremy Swayman, a Hobey Baker finalist, and Massachusetts Lowell’s Tyler Wall, staged an epic dual between the pipes, thwarting some of Hockey East’s and the nation’s finest scorers time after time to keep the game scoreless in the first twenty minutes. Lowell’s Carl Berglund had a grade A opportunity to put the RiverHawks on the board early in the second when Chase Blackmun’s shot from the point deflected off a Black Bear in the slot, and right onto Berglund’s stick at the bottom of the near circle. Berglund’s wrister was destined for the top shelf, but Swayman got his glove over just in time to keep the game scoreless. Wall then took his place on the highlight reel late in the middle stanza, when he kicked out Tim Doherty’s wrister from the slot out, but it went straight to Adam Dawe, who had Wall out of position. Unfortunately for Maine, Wall performed an epic double stack cartwheel save to keep Dawe’s wrister from finding the back of the net. After forty minutes of action the game remained 0-0. Finally, about six minutes into the final frame, Chase Blackmun won a puck battle near the blue line along the near boards, and then cycled the puck behind the net to Andre Lee, who quickly completed a wraparound on the forehand that snuck through Swayman’s pads and into the back of the net to give Lowell a 1-0 lead. That would be all Wall would need, as the Senior netminder completed his herculean effort in net by blanking the Black Bears the rest of the way. When the game ended, it was Massachusetts Lowell edging Maine 1-0 to capture the Hockey East Championship.

Life is good!

Selection show tomorrow!

Allentown. They sent us to Allentown. Blech. Who wants to go to Pederast State? Maybe Billy Joel?

I guess since it is in the virtual world I will hire a car service to get me to the airport- hanscom- and then take a private jet there.

Lowell finished 12th in the final USCHO Poll. If Neaton (or whomever) can step up in net, and the freshmen especially take another step forward, next year should be fun.
