Mistake by Spetz leads to the empty netter…good effort, but we’re gonna fall short. He had it along the boards, but it jumped over his stick and that’s all she wrote.

QU with 12 shutouts this year and 9 by that stonewall they call their goalie. Incredible.

Bummer good effort against a tough opponent.

 

[Dooooooomed]

UConn played just about a perfect game. Tough outcome but a hell of an effort.

Great game until I took a puck off the chin with about 10 minutes left in the 2nd period, still no score.

2 rows off the glass, center ice and I take a puck to the face!

11 stitches and a pretty cool story.

The huge swing was our 2 on 1 in the third period where the QU defenseman goes to the ice and breaks up the pass. Then a few minutes later they have a clumsy two on two where our two defenders just couldn’t make a play to get control of the puck and they knock in the rebound over Hanson.
Hell of an effort, if QU is really a top 5 team in the country, SHU and UConn both played damn well and should be proud.
Now carry that effort into our home game Friday against Providence and we should get a win

This game took forever to play. No flow. Teams didn't start playing until the 3rd period. Zero backchecking on the game winning goal.

Well, luckily you’re the only one that feels that way. There’s always one.

So your idea of flow is a first period that takes almost an hour to play?

CT Ice. I think it deserves a better name, something a little more creative.

Nutmeg death match?

Seriously, like most everyone, I love this tournament. I think it’s a smart way to promote Connecticut hockey and great for UConn.

Who doesn't like the tournament. They just need a better name.

So you aren’t feeling “nutmeg death match“?

How about “battle for the lobster rolls?”

Shoreline shoot out?

January hockey insanity?

You know what Connecticut Ice is sounding better and better.
