UCONN vs Colgate (Fri) / vs RIT(Sat)

[Frozen tundra]

I think they need the 3rd & 4th lines to really step up. If they can get that they should have a very successful weekend.

Huskies Head to Colgate and RIT (w/ viewing/listening options).

2-1. Goals by Pratt and Drake

 

[mac2351]

Goals 2 and 3 were really soft given up by Nichols. Struggling

 

[mac2351]

Interesting that if Nichols got pulled Huska is not even the next in line. Has not dressed for a game yet.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nichols - 2 bad goals and a goal post. Really struggling tonight.

 

[ct06111]

Interesting that if Nichols got pulled Huska is not even the next in line. Has not dressed for a game yet.

After that showing during the exhibition game, he's at the end of the line and has to earn it. Creel or thulin would be better from what I've seen so far from huska. But was it just nerves that game? I would think he needs to at least see some non conference action at some point this season

 

[ct06111]

Thompson! 4-3!!

 

[huskymedic]

4-4 @ end of regulation - onto another 5.

 

[ct06111]

Ughh, why did max try to wrap around like that? Tage was wide open tapping his stick in front of the net. Oh well. 4-4 now 2-0-1
On to RIT

 

[mac2351]

Tomorrow night is going to be a very difficult game to win. A lot of effort put forth tonight and RIT sitting at home.

 

[ct06111]

this isn't going to help things:

Brick City homecoming
Men's Hockey vs. University of Connecticut - Events

6th straight sellout of 10,556 fans

 

[Frozen tundra]

I miss the 1st & 2nd periods. Got to watch them tie it up.
They looked good. They missed a couple opportunities the bury them. But so did Colgate.
How the lines look ?

[mac2351]

Adam Huska starting tonight. Tough spot. Sold out building (10,000+) and UConn playing a hard fought game the night before.

Jeff Wight playing in first game of the year tonight

 

[mac2351]

Big save by Huska on a 2 on 1 at the end of the first.

0-0 after 1

Shots 13-8 RIT

 

[mac2351]

Big time save by Huska on RIT power play. He is the reason UConn is still in the game. Has made a couple big saves. The team looks tired.

Scoreless after 2. Shots 26-14 RIT

 

[mac2351]

Ojantakanen goal. 1-0 UConn

 

[FDNY99]

1-1 tie at the end of regulation with 1:55 to kill off of Newpower's penalty

 

[mac2351]

Huska had a nice save on a 3 on 1 with less than a minute left. He has been the first star tonight.
