Sorry, in advance. I'm hitting the game tonight as part of date night and I've never seen the Ice Bus win in person yet. But you hafta figure the law of averages is in our favor.

Better to ask for forgiveness now than to try to apologize later. Let’s go, UConn.
 
Let’s go!

I’m leaving at the second intermission to give our boys a chance.
 
Barring a 3rd period comeback, looking at 0-2-1 in Hartford. Cav said on his radio show they would have been 11 in the NPI instead of 15 had they beaten Stonehill.

For all the criticism of Toscano they have played terrible in Hartford and it has huge consequences on our numbers.
 
Sadly this reminds me of the third period of the UNH game. The size differential really has been key tonight. Hopefully we can salvage something in the third period...

Just got home from worked and tuned in on ESPN+. Looks like a good crowd at Peoples Bank Arena. Good to see the fans coming out to see the Ice Bus.

UConn had their chances in the 3rd period. Oh so close…. A bounce here and a bounce there. I only caught the 3rd period but I was impressed with UMass Lowell’s stick work. They were very pesky and made life difficult for the Huskies, especially trying to break the puck out of their own zone. Tomorrow’s another day, let’s hope for some puck luck, and let’s see if the boys can pickup a few points in Lowell. Go Huskies!!!!

UConn can’t put the biscuit in the basket. They had so many real chances that they either fluffed, shot right into the pads or missed the net completely. Who’s the sniper on this team?

Not a great performance two many things they did wrong one letting UMass Lowell to screen musenelik three times our defense has to do a better job stopping them from doing that like at least block the shot better or make it uncomfortable for them in the crease. Two not enough finishing our checks our big guys need to step up and hit every UMass Lowell player when they have the puck. And third two many passes instead just shooting the puck. If they fix these things tomorrow they will be fine. Also we didn't drop to much in the npi we dropped to 20 but gain one spot after a team losed in front of us so if they win tomorrow they will move back up. And their still first place in hockey east since bc played stonehill!
 
What a shocker they play a dud at home and tomorrow they will win a4-1 in front if 20 UConn fans at lowell
 
We outplayed them for five minutes and then they started taking it to us
 
I'm going to play off the assumption that they are not as talented as us which I think most people can agree. If you follow through with that assumption, then the performance tonight was a complete and utter embarrassment.
 
The score was 5 to 3 but OK you knock off their empty net goal that's four goals allowed but they hit the freaking pipe three times. They were all over our ass for most of the game while we dilly dallied trying to make the perfect pass so that it will show up on ESPN's top 10 playlists.

Well at least they salvaged some dignity in the third period. Cavanaugh needs to be proactive when things go in the tank. He's not a spectator, he's the coach! Did you see how Norm Bazin settled his defense after our opening game flurry? He dropped them deeper in the neutral zone and concentrated on defense first. He is a hell of a coach and makes great in game adjustments.

The worst part of the game for me last night? The drunks…had one guy screaming in our ears and spitting on us so we moved. Had another who wouldn’t sit down, so we had to move. Finally went up to the stratosphere just to get away from them.
