I have to say a trip to Alfond is a great college hockey experience and a trip back about 50 years!

Most difficult weekend of the season

Toughest place to play in the country and up against arguably the best goalie in the country.

I would be pleased if UConn only earned a point this weekend

 

[JeannoCT]

I'm hoping for 3 points

So does anyone understand Pairwise well enough to know what we have to achieve this weekend to basically stay where we are? Playing a higher ranked team on the road? Would it take 2 points? More? Less?

In a vacuum without factoring in any other games, losing both in regulation would keep us at #11. We'd probably move down a spot or two based on how other games play out. If UConn wins both in regulation we'd move up to #6 and Maine would go to #7. Results that factor in a split or OT move UConn somewhere between 6-11 depending on the result. You can play with this on CNH pairwise website under the customization tab.

A split would be massive for Hockey East points, try to pick up the extra points when they travel down to Toscano in Feb.

Wins on the road count for more than wins at home

Road wins and home losses are counted by a factor of 1.2

Home wins and road losses are counted by a factor of 0.8

Overtime wins count as 2/3 of a regulation win and a 1/3 of a regulation loss

Muldowney saved on the doorstep

Percival misses the net on a wide open grade a chance

Power play goal. Muldowney!

Joey!!

I love hearing the announcers talk about our team speed. What a difference from last year.

 

[mac2351]

UConn swarms this season like I’ve never seen from them

Peruzzi factor?

 

[mac2351]

It seems the defensemen pinch a lot more than previous seasons

 

[Bomber36]

Nothing Tyler could do there. Great redirect.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Really good period for UConn. So far they’re holding their own.

 

[mac2351]

1-1 after 1

Great effort by UConn

 

[Bomber36]

Good period for UConn.
