Another give away in our own zone leads to the tying goal. A really bad back pass.

I hope it results in our first ever win vs Quinnipiac Next week.

Great week by Cavanaugh and the team. Beat a team you're competing with for the final 1-2 playoff spots and beat a ranked team ahead of you.
Just when you count this team out...

If we can 5-6 points out of the potential 8 vs UNH and Maine I'd say we're definitely in at least the 8 spot. Have to take it to those 2 teams regardless of what happens vs. the other top teams we play.
