I’m underwhelmed

Totally agree…it’s still a dump. Don’t get me wrong, I love going to games in Hartford. But when you put lipstick on a pig…it's still a pig.

Anyone who's at PBA, how's it look?

Not much different.

We kind of played like we were hungover. Lot of passes with no conviction, sloppy with the puck in every zone, the dump in rarely worked. Seemed like OSU recovered almost every one.
Hendrickson had his good moments abs bad moments.
Incredibly quick whistle cost us a goal in the first. Our top line was kind of quiet.

After a trip to Colorado and a 2 game set against a really tough team. 2-2 is a decent start. Lots of games yet to play. I reserve judgement.

Disappointing. The pictures they've put out make it look like there is meaningful change.

They should've won this game for one that first goal should've counted that whistle was to quick. And Henderson needs to make that stop it squeaked through. And our pp was not great Richard had the whole right side open and he shot it right into their goaltender. Well at least they got the split so they probably won't drop back in the top 20 poll!

I just watched the replay of the game. I can’t believe we have to go through another season of hockey east refs doing this garbage to us. Even Joe D said it was terrible. The Ohio goalie did not have any control of the puck and that ref blew the whistle in a nano second.

Does UConn make any type of complaints with the league when these seemingly endless amount of errors happen in our direction? This is just gonna continue as Cav always takes the high road. So nice of a league ref to just wipe out a goal against a big ten team. Not like it was needed or anything. I’m sure big ten refs will return the favor.

They said the most significant changes were underneath in the bunker suite’s. From what I hear, they are really nice. The bar at the sports book is nice as well. I don’t recall if that bar was opened last year.

Changes that mean nothing to the average fan.

What changes would you like them to make? The width of the concourse is fixed, the bathrooms are fixed. They don’t own the mall area so they can’t expand into that space. I thought they actually did a nice job with the improvements.

I would like them not to make a big deal about changes that mean absolutely nothing to the average fan. Does that make any sense to you?
