Not too different from what Toscano will be.

Kudos to the Warrior faithful (and Huskies fans who made the trip) supporting their team in a crucial HE battle on a Tuesday eve,

-> One of the defensive pairings for UConn is senior Jake Flynn from Bridgewater with freshman Tom Messineo, a native of Westwood who played at St. Sebastian’s.

“The synergy that they have together, because they’re both excellent skaters and they defend really well, we kind of found it organically,” said coach Mike Cavanaugh. “It wasn’t something that we thought in the beginning of the year, ‘Let’s pair these two together. I think they’ll be a great pair.’

“It just kind of happened. We were moving people around in the preseason and the two of them seemed to play pretty well off each other.”. <-

Any link available for tonight’s game?

Why does UConn rarely post their Line Charts and Game Notes? We usually have to rely on Husky Medic to forward Line Charts from Daniel Connolly or elsewhere. Most other Hockey East schools routinely make this info available.

Prior to the goal two uncalled boarding penalties, one that should have been a 5 minute major, within the span of literally two seconds. How was not one of those called? How?

 

[huskymedic]

No penalty called on Merrimack putting Kinal
face first into glass and then…




… gotta hope it fires a few Huskies up.

Okay… Pearson gets 1 back.

How was the faceoff that led to that goal an offensive zone faceoff?

 

[huskymedic]

PP goal by Samu Salminen makes it 4-3 Merrimack.

UConn is going down to three men on an extremely similar play that Merrimack did not get penalized earlier.

Sigh… getting jobbed on home ice.

UConn absolutely hosed in this game officiating wise.

Benny and potvin have been HORRIBLE

EDIT: I was right in front of that lucas before the whistle and Kinal hit after the whistle. Absolute BS they called NOTHING after that, yet call 2 calls against UConn for absolutely nothing right after?

Ughhhhhhh. After 2
5-3 MC

The unforgivable part is they went to the monitor and still said no penalty.
