38th Hockey East Men’s Tournament (March 8 > March 18 2023)

[Viet Vet]

I saw some mild ugliness on Twitter in response to a SOLD OUT tweet from UConn Hockey. Lots of complaining that the arena is just too small (I agree) and some suggesting a playoff game should be played in Hartford (I kind of agree there too). If we follow what the basketball rules should be, no students on campus on 3/11 so play in Hartford. I'm picking my freshman kid up tomorrow for Spring Break.

No big deal. Toscano's capacity is only about 1,300 fewer than what was promised to Hockey East. Thank you public sector construction projects.

While watching UConn hoops last night, the bar had the BC - UMass game on the adjacent TV. BC controlled from the outset. Wouldn't shock me if they take out Merrimack.

If anyone wants to go to this game, keep an eye on the ticket website. Tickets will pop up there, because people turned them in I guess. I checked last night and picked up 3 beauties on the aisle. Right now (12:50 pm), there are two sets of two available that I didn't see last night.

Does anyone know about parking passes for tomorrow’s game?

I'm not sure if this is only for season ticket holders who purchased playoff tix, but here's what I received in an email...

Thanks DbC. I’m a season ticket holder who has purchased tickets for the UML game….didn’t get an email regarding parking like you did. I called the UConn ticket office and got no help. Was referred to an extension where nobody is answering. NOT HAPPY!

“Mild ugliness”, there’s ONE negative post under it. One!

Hoping hockey can help salvage the weekend after tough losses from hoops and baseball last night

I have no idea which way they are leaning when it comes to choosing a goaltender today.

Both options did not look solid last weekend.

When I went to a game at Elliot Ballpark last spring, I parked in Lot D which is off Alumni Drive across from Burton. Is that an option for tonight’s game? Or will they direct all non season ticket holders to the garage?

That's a student resident lot, you can park there and risk getting a ticket

Ahhh…That makes sense. The baseball game was in May - the week after finals.

Aren't students on Spring Break?

Well that’s a pisser. My guide says NESN+ is nothing but Upcoming: New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox until tomorrow. But the 4:30 game shows up on NESN.

I would check at game time…sometimes the cable providers don’t update their schedule. (mine (Cox) does show the game). I will try to post a free link so that those who don’t have access can join in the fun.

UML at UConn

This one usually works at game time.

Ty is probably gonna need surgery after this season. (My experience after numerous shoulder injuries while playing rugby for 30 years) The shoulder eventually proved to be my career ender. Of course, 30 years was probably 15 too long.

This one appears to be working….at least it is on my iPad. Good luck all…and go UConn!!!!!

@JeannoCT and @ct06111 let us know how the atmosphere is at Toscano. Thanks!
