Not good.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Mattson looks like he is putting on pads? Maybe changing the goalies for Clarkson.

Blight dumps it at goal. Storm dumps and icing is waved off. Clarkson ices the puck. whistle.

goals were 8:54 and 9:24. 30 seconds apart.

Lowell 3 - Clarkson 1

Riverhawks are starting to show more physical play.

Campana SHOOTS, but wide. Bahen shoots, blocked by player out front. Dave Reid dumps. Reid goes into zone. Here comes Hawks. Dave Reid back on it. Hawks are really moving being up 3 to 1. In Knights zone, puck is tipped over net and over glass. Lowell has a relentless forecheck going right now. Lowell has turned up the heat.

Clarkson calls the TIMEOUT. Great job Coach Morris!!!

[Earl_Leatherland]

Need a little more screen in front of Hawks goalie. He sees many of the shots coming from far off right now.

Penalty against the Knights - Boarding.

Penalty kill over. Forecheck for Lowell has really taken over.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Lowell is making quick changes and Knights are lagging and taking way too much time out on the ice.

Scuderi takes a shot and no dice. Scuderi to E-T. Bahen pinches and Lowell is coming 2 on 1. Walsh makes the save. the knights are tired and need a change.

1 minute left in 2nd.

Roasted Turkey Breast!!!

[Earl_Leatherland]

Knights have much more momentum in the third. The announcers seem to be counting them out for this game. I guess they are being....objective???

SOG: 22 to 15 in favor of River Hawks

about 14;00 to go in the game

[Earl_Leatherland]

11:54 to go in the third period

Lowell 3 - Clarkson 1

[Earl_Leatherland]

Knights called offside and Poapst pulled down in front of RiverHawks goal. Overall, the officiating sounds very good tonight. Knights upset about no call here.

[Earl_Leatherland]

No icing has been called all night, I don't think.

[scottcomstock]

Knights go on the PP...and O'Flaherty scores!! 3-2 UML...KEEP THE PRESSURE ON, GUYS

[Earl_Leatherland]

Penalty against UMass-Lowell. Called for a cross-check. Even the Clarkson announcers say it sounds kind of bogus. Lowell is not happy.

[Earl_Leatherland]

GOAL!!!!!

Lowell 3 - Clarkson 2

[Earl_Leatherland]

Clarkson's changes are going a little faster now. Sounds like this has given some good momentum. Rocket of a shot hits St. John in the face. he hangs on. whistle.

LGTLGTLGT!!!!!

[Earl_Leatherland]

10:31 PP Goal O'FLAHERTY from MCFEETER and REID

stoppage of play checking St. John's helmet. Equipment managers looking at helmet. screw loose?

[Earl_Leatherland]

Knights change up. Knights down 3-2.

Campana pokes it along. Clearing pass blocked by Bahen. Puck dumped on St. John and forced to hold as Edwards closed in.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Manzano pokes puck away. Shot and save by Walsh and another shot and save by Walsh. Net off.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Scuderi against Rulo? on faceoff. Scuderi wins faceoff. McFeeters good work along the wall.

Brought out by Lowell. Poapst takes a heavy check. Reid behind net to McFeeters. Edwards pinned to the boards. 5 minutes to go.

Hay moves ahead into Knight zone.

Bahen into neutral zone but Lowell dumps back in. Farrell makes a great stop on Campana at blue line?

4:32 remaining.

[Earl_Leatherland]

McFeeter to O'Flaherty and missed. Close shot. back to manzano. wrist shot over the goal.

now pushing and shoving.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Icing called against Lowell.

[Earl_Leatherland]

OHHHHHHH!!! Another close one for the Knights. Up to Dave Evans. Evans cant keep it in. 3:10 to go in game.

Lush pokes ahead and Campana drives. looks in front, and no dice. Stick save by UMass.

Icing called....no waved off at last moment. clarkson bench is ticked.

mcfeeters wins puck and o'f thrown to wall. puck hops over stick and falls into the net. that was a great chance and nothing.

[scottcomstock]

One minute left. Knights pull Walsh, then puts in Mattson at the next stop in play. Still 3-2 UML with 49sec to go.

[Earl_Leatherland]

Reid out of zone for Clarkson. Lowell man hooked down and clarkson gets a break. Edwards shot and puck loose and Walsh exits the net.

Knights net empty. 1 minutes left in third. 3 to 2.

whistle.

:49 remaining. two great chances. Mattson comes in for Walsh. for the last :49 ????? Never heard of that before. They say Mattson skates faster, plays puck better, and it gives Clarkson a lot longer break than they would have had. I understand now.

:30 to go. Good job by Hawks to waste time with the puck. Net is empty. :14 Reid hammers back in. McFeeters for Poapst. Save made at the buzzer. Game ends 3 - 2.

Crap. There goes the fictitious belt.

[scottcomstock]

Game over. UML 3 Clarkson 2 - final.

UML makes a big save at the buzzer

Nice job KNIGHTS!!!!!!!!
