Are you saying the dimensions of the rink are not standard?

Rink dimensions are not standardized. Within reason, you can do basically whatever you want that’s around 200x85

Really like the uniforms that Huskies are wearing tonight. Really sharp looking. I wish they would stick with those uniforms.

The BU broadcast team mentioned that there were no corners at Tuscano. So the dimensions are NHL spec, but the corner radius apparently can different. Maybe it was a cost savings measure, or if it was strategic then maybe meant to limit the ability of the opponent’s talent to operate efficiently as well?

That should not have been a penalty on Percival. Nice strong take to the net.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Nice move by Tuch. Great skater. Nice job there.

Not a bad Period for the Huskies. They’re still battling and playing hard.

Nice move by Tuch. He completely fooled Haider. Rare thing that.

I’m thinking Bernie and his partner have had 1 to many cocktails

Definitely true - the radius of dot to the corner boards is shorter making for what is known as a "short corner". But, I don't think that the Toscano architect, JCJ, has built hockey arenas before.

At the game in Agganis. UConn strong fore check to start the 2nd period, but just not enough on offense. BU goalie playing well. 2nd BU goal was a snipe.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn just getting out talented, not much you can do much about that.

Celebrini is quite the player. Some NHL team is going to get a very good player. Hockey East, particularly BC and BU have some really high end players. It’s just a really good league this year.

 

[auror]

Yeah the 3rd goal was just talent and then UConn's defense started getting out skated.

Man I feel old seeing Connecticut native Scott Lachance’s kid skating for BU. Feels like just yesterday Scott was suiting up and skating for BU.
