[JeannoCT]

Huge weekend. We dominated after the 12 second mark!

Wood almost pulled that Michigan goal off. So close.

Bradley playing great.

Their most dominant game of the season.

 

[JeannoCT]

And Tverberg broke thru. Such a hard worker. Hopefully this gets him going down the stretch

What does Michigan goal mean??

 

[mac2351]

Lacrosse style goal from behind the net.

It’s starting to happen a little bit more often since these guys are becoming more and more skilled.



Trevor Zegras does the Michigan

They sell beer, etc, at the new place?

Yes.

That was a fun one. Nice sweep and to get some revenge and the 1st win against UMass is sweet. Those goals were amazing. The 2691 was a little better today. Students filled the benches and the seats seemed to have a little more butts in em. Still too quiet for my taste. Still early, but we as a crowd need to step up and make the atmosphere

 

[JeannoCT]

I just listened to coach cav's post game comments, and he said the crowd was loud! I didn't think so either.

 

[freescooter]

That’s because suits bought the seats. Give it a bit until it isn’t a new THING and regular fans can get in and it will be loud.

I agree. I mean we’re so used to our 3-4k @ XL , and that’s only 1k more in a huge arena. I think either the horn is too loud or they gotta turn down music/PA.

 

[HuskyHawk]

This is really encouraging!

Yes! We're not there to listen to the PA. At least he stopped the morgue-like announcement of the opponents goal. He must read the Boneyard. More pep band.

I don’t get that the place isn’t loud. It seems loud to me.
I think if we’re gonna complain about the crowd we should be complaining about people not staying til the end because they want to beat the traffic. I mean respect the kids and give them a hand after a win.
But noise? I don’t see the problem.

 

[Bomber36]

As I watch the G-men get creamed I ask myself “Would you trade 2 wins against UMass for a win against the Eagles”? The answer…”Not in a New York minute.” Go UConn!

I agree man. I saw people leaving way too early. Again, place was 1/2 empty by the end. Better not become a habit.

Notice lots of away fans end up getting seats. Wat up wit that? Who be sellin?

I see lots of familiar faces, but also new ones. Those are the ones leaving and keeping it quiet. I do gotta admit XL and Toscano, we as fans don’t do much cheering mid game and I think that’s my noise complaint. Pep band seems better and students are trying LGH. 1st game it was LGUConn, which was weird. Little kids do that. IDK, I agree on the new factor and may get better next season. Who knows, priority point system may make it worse.

1st game was LG UConn because the opponent that game were also the ”Huskies“. That was the right move.

The crowd needs to be more engaged. At the very least cheer when puck is cleared on a PK and stand after a good pk kill. More noise on a key face off too. it’s like half the crowd there had never been to a hockey game before.

Welp, for the first time outside the HE opener #IceBus tickets have value, so I don’t blame those who can’t make it to post them up on StubHub or secondary markets…

 

[DblCrossbar]

As far as the hockey was concerned, Capone finally had a good game… made some nice passes to Bradley that didn’t cash in, tied the game with a nice wrister, took out the UMass Captain with a clean hit, and stayed out of the box - he also didn’t get in the way of his line mates, which sounds silly but seemed to be the case when Tverberg was added. So his role was perfect yesterday…

UMass is reeling from injuries and it showed on the ice. Apparently UConn felt sorry for them and decided to spot them one at the very beginning.

 

[DblCrossbar]

They sell beer, etc, at the new place?

Yes, but only in cans. No draught beer.

Visiting teams are allotted a certain number of tickets for players and coaches.

My friend, who played at Notre Dame and spent two years with the Indianapolis Racers (Wayne Gretsky's linemate!) knows hockey. He was so impressed with UConn's complete game he said they look like a "top five" team. High praise.

Now who in their right mind would sell to an opposing team‘s fans at face?
