I’m one happy Husky hockey fan. Love beating those Boston teams.

 

[RSTuthill]

Fantastic quality win tonight. Yup an even better scenario might become possible than originally thought. But lets stay humble. A great time to be a Husky hockey fan.

I agree. I just love that we are this hot at the right time of year....as much as I’d like to finish in 5th, I really want a home playoff series. But.....we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Creel was absolutely huge. At times his positioning is like he has vertigo but he gets it done and makes some great saves sliding to his left or right

Good win

Great win!

Whats that @zls44 ?

UConn won this game because of blocked shots

Shot blocking is a bad strategy and not something you want to lead a team in. Its like leading a league in saves.

Get the puck.

One more:

Blocking shots is not a defenseman's primary job. Staying in front of your man and keeping the puck from him is. This isn't 1957.

 

[ct06111]

Nice. PC just beat Maine in OT!

 

[Bomber36]

PC wins 3-2 in OT.

Not fully updated

Now in 6th. Tied with Maine with 21 pts.

[ct06111]

6 game winning streak
5 game HE winning streak
Most HE wins since joining in 2014-2015(10)

 

[ct06111]

Papa cav was there! Nice.

Another 4 PK against a great PP team.

Other than that one against BC, it would have been 32 in a row (?)
(Edit: not sure about Brown game)
Well, 32 in a row for HE. 31/32

I think UConn is in 3rd in HE for PKs.

Whats that @zls44 ?

I mean, I'd rather not be defending like its the Alamo, but I'll take it.

 

[zls44]

Creel has been really solid. He was a little flighty at times, but neither goal tonight was remotely his fault. That 2nd for NU was why that line is SO good.

 

[ct06111]

1st ever win @ Matthews

Haven't won 6 in a row since 01-02

1st sweep ever of Northeastern!
Now UNH and NU sweeps this season.

NU had 8 home game winning streak. Not anymore!

Be easy on him, he's a basketball guy by trade.

Defensive layers

 

[RSTuthill]

Yes, the Huskies are hot right now. The bad news is that there are only two games left in the RS. That, of course though, can be a good thing as they won't be as tired as the other teams unless they get this nasty flu.

I think @ct06111 has rubbed off on me, screw settling! First rd bye, win the 2nd round series and UConn Nation takes TD Garden by storm!!

Ha, I'm not fully there yet. 1 game at a time. Keep it going

They sent the playoff ticket email for Season ticket holders today. Heck, i didn't even want to reserve my playoff seats until I saw how they played tonight. Will do soon.

Maine still has UNH(2/14) BC 3x times for its remaining games.

With no league games for BU, the next home game vs UConn is gonna be HUGE.

BU has 23, while UConn has 21.

BU still has UConn, MC, and Vermont 2x.

UML still has UMass, PC 2x and MC 2x

Gonna be interesting

 

[Bomber36]

Reserved mine tonight....note the extra charges.

“Thank you for requesting Hockey East Opening Round Tournament tickets. If UConn is confirmed to host this post-season series your credit card will be charged for the quantity of tickets requested (price includes a $2.00 per ticket FIT Fee) and a one time $12.00 order charge. Tickets will then be sent via Print-at-Home on Monday, February 26th.”

I think the total for my 2 seats (4 tix) was $76.00 with the fees. Overall 19 bucks a ticket isnt too bad for a great night of entertainment. Beers not included of course. Bring your wallet.
