It is fun to be in a conference that is stable, and that you can take pride in. I will be rooting for PC and BU tonight.

They wouldn't root for us. I'm hoping UND can claw back and beat BU.

The HE being #1 helps us and everyone else in the HE in the PWR. They would root for us. Reluctantly.

HE is #1 regardless and I highly doubt they would... So let's go UND!

SEC, SEC, SEC...oh wait, HE, HE, HE.

Also, this being a league of Champions helps us incredibly. We have a coach with a championship pedigree, a huge brand name, and possibly the best and largest (though still somewhat untapped) fan base in a league with a clear path to the title. I can't wait to see where we are in 5 years.

I don't think BU fans were all that opposed to UConn coming to the league. Most of the negative stuff I heard came from BC. UMass-Amherst and a little fromPC.

Not nearly as bad as BCU playing, but does UCONN benefit financially from having 2 HE teams in the final? Maybe PC and BU will play to an endless tie,

Geez, FriarJ, now you're on our hockey board!!!
True, Gavitt founded the BE. I know Lamoriello was hockey coach at PC. Not much more, except he moved on to the Devils. As creative as Gavitt was, he left PC, and they couldn't take advantage of their new league surroundings. That's the big difference between UConn & PC. UConn found a way.
Anyways, you mentioned you would trade anything for just 1 of our NC's. Not sure if you are a big hockey fan, or a bandwagon jumper. (I guess it doesn't really matter, here). But, you just might get that NC. Good luck, with 2 New England teams competing in Boston, it looks like the Sox will have to take a back seat this weekend. The Garden should be rockin'.

Great, PC can try to take credit for any success we have in the HE by somehow "founding" it.

Good luck in the final.

Lamoriello deserves his place in the HoF. Genius. He certainly helped change the perception of college hockey.

"Both Gavitt and Lamoriello were visionaries and somehow UConn benefited from both."

UConn has both the Atlantis & Maui tourneys in the next 2 years. Also games with Texas, Arizona, Ohio State, G-town, UMD. Plus recents with Fla, Stanford, & Duke.
With the conference UConn is stuck in, they need games like this on either ESPN or regular CBS shown to millions. Should a game with PC be ever scheduled (Ollie did allude to a future game) it would be on Fox1 viewed by 50,000. Mostly folks in CT & RI.
The only games vs teams in the NBE that give UConn wide exposure are games with G-town, Nova, & St. John's.

Congrats to the Friars fans. That was a Super Bowl-49-caliber goof-up by BU's goalie. Poor man.

Yes, yes it was. The whole team flubbed the third period. PC played a great third, we didn't. They deserve the credit for that.
