Maybe they should tell advertise it is a football game.

Do they get 8K for a football game at UMass (Lowell doesn't even have football)?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Lowell is going to beat UNH tonight in Durham.

UNH. Wow, just wow.

They are playing "Bye bye bye" by 'N Sync over the PA system for a Lowell penalty.

No score after the 1st period.

:confused0082:

Will UNH win an out of conference game this year? Cornell? :bag:

Dartmouth...never mind.

You know the Hobey race is starting to take shape when, for the second straight week, everyone in the top 10 and everyone on the bubble has been mentioned before. That makes it more exciting than ever, though, because now guys are going to need more than one big weekend to climb to the top.

LOWELL, Mass. - Matt Irwin's power play goal with 1:07 remaining in regulation gave the No. 19 UMass Minutemen a 2-1 win over No. 15 UMass Lowell on Saturday night at Tsongas Arena. Irwin's goal came with the Minutemen (14-8-0, 9-6-0 HEA) on a five-on-three power play. Paul Dainton backstopped the Mass Attack, making 28 saves while Carter Hutton made 15 saves for Lowell (12-9-2, 6-6-2 HEA). UMass will be back in action next week when the Minutemen will host Vermont on Saturday and Sunday in Amherst.

The victory gives UMass the season series over Lowell and the Alumni Cup. The Minutemen are also 10-3-0 this season when a defenseman scores. The River Hawks outshot the Minutemen 29-17 for the game, while Massachusetts was 1-for-7 on the power play. Lowell was 0-for-5 on the man advantage.

Although the Minutemen were outshot 14-6 during the opening period, Marc Concannon scored the only goal of the frame to give UMass a 1-0 lead at the first intermission. The Mass Attack dodged a bullet early in the stanza when a River Hawk goal from Chris Auger was reviewed and called back due to a crease violation.

Massachusetts took advantage of that break in the fifth minute of play when Concannon netted his first goal of the season off a feed from Rocco Carzo. Carzo received a pass from Justin Braun in the neutral zone and skated down the right side of the Lowell zone. Carzo drew a defenseman to him then quickly dished to Concannon on the opposite side of the cage, who wristed the puck past Hutton for the score. The goal was Concannon's first in 25 games. While UMass took five penalties in the second period, including a ten-minute misconduct to Casey Wellman, Lowell outshot the Minutemen 10-2 (24-8 through two periods) and netted the equalizer with eight minutes to play on a goal from Patrick Cey. The River Hawks maintained puck possession for the majority of the frame forcing Dainton to make several tough saves, highlighted by a post-to-post save on Nick Schaus with six minutes left in the period, to keep the Minutemen in the game.

Lowell was able to get one by the junior goaltender on Cey's first goal of the year. After taking a pass from Auger, David Vallorani controlled the puck below the goal line before finding Cey in the slot for a one-timer past Dainton.

The Minutemen got back on track during the third period, outshooting Lowell 9-5 and notching the game-winner in the final two minutes. Lowell was called for five penalties during the final frame, allowing UMass to control the puck in the River Hawk zone for most of the period.

With a five-on-three advantage with 1:07 remaining in regulation, Irwin scored his sixth goal of the season on a rocket from the point. With Irwin and Braun manning the blueline, Braun sent a pass to Marcou at the left faceoff dot. Marcou then fed Irwin at the point, and Irwin fired a slapshot that ricocheted off the crossbar and into the net. The River Hawks pulled Hutton with 1:01 left, but Dainton and the Minuteman defense stood tall to preserve the win.

WOO!!! ALUMNI CUP!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!!

Imperfect 10: Warriors drop to 0-10 on road

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/140107101

By Mike McMahon, The Eagle-Tribune, North Andover, Mass.

Jan. 17--BOSTON -- As well as Merrimack College has played at home -- the Warriors are 7-1 inside Lawler Rink -- they've been worse on the road. Last night's 6-4 defeat at the hands of Boston University brought Merrimack's record away from Lawler Rink to 0-10.

"We haven't talked about it much at all," said junior forward Chris Barton of the road woes. "A couple of bounces and this game goes the other way. We've had a lot of road games where a few bounces either way have made the difference."

But something about last night's loss was different. Instead of the Warriors tapping in submission to a superior attack, Merrimack dictated the play, outshooting the Terriers 43-26. The Warriors erased three different leads.

"Any time you put 43 shots on net, you're doing good things," Barton said.

Added head coach Mark Dennehy, "(The shot total) was indicative of the play in the game."¬'

Joe Pereira scored with 8:07 left and Chris Connolly with 3:48 left to make it 5-3 -- but Barton netted his 10th goal of the season with 1:12 left to give the Warriors hope.

Grant Rollheiser (39 saves), however, made four giant saves inside of the final minute to secure the win. Vinny Saponari tacked on an empty-netter with four seconds left.

"We played really well for large stretches of the game," said Dennehy. "This time of the year, you want to be playing well and we played well. A couple of bounces were the difference. But you earn those and we're in the process of earning those."

At times, Merrimack was skating circles around a BU team that won a national title last season, quieting a crowd of 5,941 at Agganis Arena.

"That was a hard-fought loss for Merrimack," said BU head coach Jack Parker, whose club improved to 7-10-3 and 5-8-2 in Hockey East. "They played great. They're power play, I think, is the best in the nation. They move the puck very well. I was unbelievably disappointed with my team in the first two periods. Our best player tonight was our goaltender. We were outshot, badly, in our own rink."

The latest loss comes on the heels of a 3-2 loss last Saturday at Maine in which the Black Bears scored the game-winner with just 17.2 seconds left with a seeing-eye wrister.

"It's amazing Merrimack hasn't won a road game, the way they played tonight," Parker said.

The Warriors will go back on the road Friday, when they travel to UMass Lowell. They'll play at home for the first time in 49 days, Saturday when they host Providence.

Big weekend for Lowell and the other lower seeds. Lowell is 3pts out of a home playoff spot and needs to sweep the weekend to keep close to the top. With Maine not playing any league games this weekend its a chance for someone to take a run at the 4th spot.

Providence and Merrimack better start worrying... they are falling out of the playoff race quickly.. Prov 3pts out of 8th, Mack 4pts.

BC, BU MEET FRIDAY ON NESN; UMASS AND VERMONT FACEOFF SUNDAY ON ESPNU

~Merrimack faces UML, PC; UNH travels to Boston U. and Providence; Maine hosts Under-18 Team~

WAKEFIELD, Mass. -- Massachusetts and Vermont will renew their long-standing rivalry for a twogame set at the Mullins Center beginning on Saturday night in Amherst. The two teams will conclude their season series on Sunday in front of a national audience on ESPNU at 3pm.

No. 10 Boston College and Boston University will close out their season series on Friday night from Conte Forum live on NESN, while Merrimack will make the short trip to Tsongas Arena for a Friday night matchup with UMass-Lowell.

If Lowell loses to Merrimack tonight I may punch a BC fan in the head tomorrow night. We all know BC fans deserve a good punch to the head!

SuperFans sure do

I don't know what the turnout is at Mullins for a BC game but in Lowell the BC alumni/fan boys outnumber the BC students 10-1.

There is nothing more infuriating than watching some dude who doesn't even have his GED cheer on the Eagles at Tsongas.

The SuperFans don't even show up at Conte Forum. That place is a morgue.

Have you seen this?

Marty Meehan is going nuts since the school took over ownership of Tsongas. Ribbon boards, new name. What's next?

1. A real scoreboard. With video replay. Preferably Jerry Jones size.

2. A coach who isnt a midget.

3. More workers at the concession stands.

4. More blimps!

5. More fans. Pay bums to fill the seats. Give them coupons for free beer.

1. New scoreboard is on the way for the 2010/2011 season

2. At least the Lowell Coach isn't called "Toot"

3. Don't you eat before the game? Plenty of places to buy beers if you drank during the game.

4. YES!

5. We get plenty of fans. GFY.
