Game Notes

 

[JeannoCT]

I'm watching this game on espn3. El-Mir gives up the puck and UNH scores 15 seconds in.

 

[JeannoCT]

Tage ties it up!

 

[ct06111]

OJ!!! Let's go!

 

[JeannoCT]

2-1 good guys.

 

[Bomber36]

They've settled down a bit, but I still can't get over how often we turn the puck over in our own zone. It seems to lead to a goal at least once a game. Frustrating.

 

[JeannoCT]

power play coming up for UC

 

[JeannoCT]

End of the first period 2-1 Huskies

 

[Bomber36]

1st period stats.

 

[The Viking]

Maine is up 2-0 on northeastern
A UConn win and Maine win tonight keeps hope alive for a home series

 

[dbmill]

Spencer Naas goal late in 2nd period makes it 3-1 UConn.

 

[ct06111]

Nass!!! 15th of the year 3-1

 

[Bomber36]

Sweet!

 

[ct06111]

Great 40. Let's finish for a full 60.

 

[JeannoCT]

Playing well - have some pep in their step

 

[Bomber36]

Doing well on face offs tonight.

 

[ATLDYKA]

They really have dominated scoring opportunities tonight and are playing well. Need 20 more of solid play.

 

[mac2351]

Top four seeds (in some order): BC, Lowell, BU, Notre Dame

BC and Lowell playing for regular season title on NESN

Likely first round matchups: UMass @ Providence, Maine @ Vermont

UConn loses tiebreaker to Northeastern (head to head record)

If UConn wins tonight and tomorrow and Merrimack gets swept, UConn has tiebreaker over Merrimack (more conference wins)

If UConn and UNH tie on points, UConn wins tiebreaker (UConn holds better head to head record against each top four team regardless of where the top four teams finish)

 

[TheDoggPound]

Don't want to jinx anything but some late season magic could be brewing if both the Merrimack and Northeastern scores hold.

 

[ct06111]

Nyberg's 1st goal as a husky. 4-1

 

[JeannoCT]

Nyberg!

 

[mac2351]

Don't want to jinx anything but some late season magic could be brewing if both the Merrimack and Northeastern scores hold.

Whether the series is home or away is secondary, I just want to avoid a matchup with Northeastern and play Merrimack.

 

[JeannoCT]

can we hold on here??

 

[The Viking]

Our defense once again failing to clear over and over
Eventually it will catch up with you
Why are masonious and nyberg on the ice together?
They are both shaky defensively

 

[JeannoCT]

we're playing not to lose. need to generate some offense here.
