UConn @ #17 Maine (Friday 2/14 @ 7:30p & Saturday 2/15 @ 7:30p [this game on NESN])

[Viet Vet]

Two tonight. I won't be greedy; give me one point tomorrow. A three point weekend in Orono is a fabulous achievement. Four...……………………..WOW! Playoff hockey is looming.

Always a shame when certain folks steer clear of the hockey threads when we go on good runs.
It's ok to root for the program and be happy after wins.

Yeah, I have noticed that. Fork em. I’m having fun.

 

[Adios]

I barely post for any sports anymore. So fork you.

The team is actually playing like one after how long? Still have yet to beat out Sacred Heart for state supremacy.

Shots-on-Goal: UConn 36, Maine 26. Tremendous effort by the Huskies. First home loss this year at Orono for Maine. Regardless of tomorrow night's result, we should have a minimum of 6,000 fans next Friday for BU. If not (even if we do) please just build the damn on-campus rink, and let the sit-on-your-hands-and-don't-get-engaged XL fans pound sand, and not travel to Storrs (I will). I am sick of the XL overhead screen prompting me to cheer. If we (the fans) can't make noise on our own, perhaps we aren't real fans. As I have stated numerous times before...………...college hockey is meant to be played on campus.

You and Asweet have no problem making comments after losses and then disappear after wins.
There's no harm in rooting for the team.
Even after a win you have to make a snarky comment.

 

[The Viking]

If we win tomorrow we are 2 points out of first regardless of what other teams do
Crazy

The latest and greatest...

Let me assure you, it happens with other UConn sports as well.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

4 points out of first

4 points out of first

And two points out of sole possession of 9th place. It's amazing how tight the standings are in this league once you clear Merrimack and Vermont.

Truly a wild year. Hard to believe this team may miss the conference tourney

 

[The Viking]

Just an FYI...

Vermont's final 2 weekends are against Maine and Northeastern, then they have a lone game against UMass Amherst.
Merrimack has 2 against Providence and 1 against BC.

New Hampshire has to contend with UMass Lowell for 2 and BC for 2. That will be tough for them as they don't get to feast off the 2 weak teams.

The boys have the season in their own hands. For us, that sounds scary, for them it’s the chance of a life time. Could be a run for the ages. This group is starting to look special at the right time of the year.

Saturday’s match ups...

 

[UConnRock]

Northeastern went on the road and shut out Lowell last night. The 2nd game is at NU tonight. That and the Maine/UConn game are huge in seeing which team can temporarily separate from the logjam

 

[scotty0330]

another game where they got a lead early only to give it right Back. Happened a couple games ago too and this team did not get discouraged but rallied to win. Seems much more mentally tough now than early in season. That is a huge credit to staff and kids to have grown since beginning of year.

any win in this conference on the road is huge. Team has come a long way since start of season and heck even since that week after the rough stretch holiday break

 

[freescooter]

Freeman is my man. Love the way he plays the game. Not an all American but one of those guys every team absolutely needs.

Great win at Maine. Now get another tonight

That's your perception. You think I went to games to watch us lose?

 

[TMB4405]

Too early to really start analyzing but......don’t we have tiebreakers over UNH and Maine now?

 

[Dooooooomed]

Roller coaster of a season. Very exciting to see them playing well down the home stretch.

 

[freescooter]

Sure wish we could have the Merrimack games back...if we miss the playoffs those losses will be the reason. Big difference since the CT Ice has been that the puck is finally going in the net.

Yes, over UML too (with one game remaining). Even with Northeastern; but PC has it over us.
