UConn MHOC versus BC

[Jimdish255]

Sounded like the building was getting a little fired up as the third period went on. Not many goals but the effort really appreciated. Smart hockey fans. Had to work but glad to catch most of it.

Brian Leetch played his college puck for:

I forgave Leetch years ago for the transgression of playing for BC. Afterall, he did help the Rangers win the Stanley Cup (saw it when he brought it to town), played for Team USA, and also won a state title in baseball for my home town in '84 on a team that also included a guy named Brad Ausmus (in '83, out hockey team lost the state final to an Enfield team led by Craig Janney).

@UConnMHOC Last two minutes it was hard to hear. I don't want to be the Macarena or the Hustle. I don't want to be a one hit wonder

PS - that's a Bald Eagle, BC are Golden Eagles. Also, as both birds are 'protected' in the US, please don't let the NCAA see that photo shopped picture as I am sure somehow that will constitute a major violation against UConn.

Beating BC in Hockey. That didn't take long.

Well, we never beat BC in hockey for the same eternity that we never beat Syracuse in football. Until the first time we played them at home as a member of the same league

Hah HFD found the USCHO board.

All good will is dead. But he's right as rain.

Hah HFD found the USCHO board.

HFD "Tonight is a great example why small private schools in college sports who have history before America is what it is today, try to keep big publics and state schools down. Because they can't compete. Not in money, base size, on the playing field or in balls ack girth"

 

[UconnU]

They just announced the final score on sportscenter..

Over 8,000 in attendance tonight. Amazing.

From the Courant: HARTFORD -- The UConn hockey team skated to a 1-0 upset of No. 3 Boston College in its first Hockey East home game Wednesday night before a boisterous crowd of 8,089 at the XL Center.

Because it was the first hockey game ever played anywhere between the good Huskies and evil bcu, UCONN never previously defeated the bastards.

>>"Driving into the game today my assistant Joe Pereira asked me, 'Did you ever think we'd have 8,000 people at our first game?' I said 'Yeh. I did.' The first time I sat down with [UConn Athletic Director] Warde Manuel for my interview, I told him this state is starved for UConn to have a hockey team. It was electric," said Cavanaugh.<<

>>"Give the Huskies credit. They played well, smart. They had a fabulous crowd. The setting was outstanding," complimented BC head coach Jerry York.<<

 

[BugsyCT]

Epic sweetness.

We should refuse to play them again to keep the edge here in New England.

XL updates look pretty sweet in the clips.
