Alfond is a crazy place to play. Like playing on $2 beer night where they give you 2 for 1. We really need to get at worst a split.

 

[The Viking]

At worst? Id be happy with a split. The Mainiacs are loco and i worry Maine will pick a bad weekend to snap back into form.

Need to do better if we want to end up in the NCAAs without winning the Hockey East tourney. I’m looking at 4 points minimum. At least win the weekend.

Agreed - ME is 24th in NPI - a split 3-3 is at best treading water. (probably lose a few spots in NPI)
4 would be great, especially 2 OT wins!

17:58 left in the first and UC 5 on 3 for 1:40.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Maine killed it. Back to even strength.

 

[The Viking]

The Early power-play killed us. We were dominating them even strength and because our power-play is not a strong suit you knew that would somehow change things if we didn't score and of course we couldn't even score 5 on 3. Maines five on four look better than our 5 on 3

 

[The Viking]

Can we turn down power plays at this point?

 

[Bomber36]

Joey!

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Muldowney off the face off with 1:03 left in the first. 1-0 UConn.

Stats after 1.

 

[The Viking]

Big goal. Maine was really turning up the heat every time they kill a power play. We're a little too sloppy with the puck so far – fortunate to have a 1–0 lead.

 

[Scoe]

How was that not a goal, I must be blind, nvm damn.

 

[The Viking]

Better score here – you know Maine's getting the next two or three power plays. Stop with the overpassing put the puck on the net.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

0-5 on the PP. They look terrible.

 

[The Viking]

Yeah so disjointed, so many passes are off just a bit in every zone. Seriously fortunate to be up. Im guessing in the first 5 min of the third we will be in the box our defense and PK have to be big in the third.

 

[Bomber36]

Two in the books.

 

[The Viking]

One Maine power play killed off. There will likely be another. no more stupid passes in the middle of the ice gentlemen.

 

[The Viking]

Its like im nostradamus with this freaking team

 

[huskymedic]

That works… 2-0 UConn!

 

[Bomber36]

Gardula!

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Gardula goes 5 hole. 2-0.

 

[JeannoCT]

That was nice!!

 

[Fairfield_1st]

That works… 2-1 UConn!

2-1? Are you Nostradamus?
