Sucks Adam is hurt. Great shot blocker. I think he leads the team.

I know football is slow, but it's nice to see Anthony cover the team

UConn on PP, Schwartz just sneaks past two defenders for a breakaway chance, gets slashed on the hands and they call the penalty instead of the penalty shot.

And of course UConn doesn't even get a shot in the 55 seconds of 5-on-3.

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.

UConn Hockey Team Loses At Boston College

“We got in passing lanes and got shin pads in front of pucks to discourage shooting,” said Jerry York, who has his 24th year as BC coach and his 46th overall. “We did a good job with rotations, because they move the puck pretty well. We took away some shooting lanes and passing lanes.”

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.
