Well, its their sixth straight trip to HockeyEast semi-finals anyhow. Last year, Lowell and BU both made their fifth straight trip, but the Riverhawks will go on without the Terriers this year. Lowell is playing some pretty good hockey right now, demonstrating this with some sound thrashings on Northeastern's ice. Lowell has never been a team to let the opponents rink play a big part in the outcome of playoff games ( see 03/97-Providence, 03/95-Northeastern, 03/94-Michigan State and 03/96-Michigan State ). They have however had a real tough time playing the Terriers in HockeyEast semi-final and final matchups. They've always played them exceptionally close but just came up short of beating them. Well, they won't get a chance to exorcise that ghost this time around, but they will get the opportunity to revenge Maine's come from behind semifinal win two years ago. Lowell was only able to muster a tie against the Black Bears this season but I'm sure they'll have different results on Friday night - prediction Lowell 6, Maine 2.
