So, how big is this game for us after our opening loss to QU? I'd like to see a season where UConn sneaks into the top 25.

 

[Adios]

Tempted to go but not up for a drive tonight.

Top 20*.

We’re actually 1-1. But hey, it’s an HE game, so I think it’s huge.

To a certain degree, all games are big. However, given that this UConn team is loaded with a lot of freshmen, talented as they are, I expect them to have some growing pains. I also would expect that they will improve as the season progresses, so you could see a different team in February than what we might see in October and November.

 

[Adios]

PC plays at SHU in Bridgeport tomorrow, for anyone interested.

[mac2351]

Out: Iskhakov, Robbins, Gendron, Wojciechowski

Jordan Timmons’ first career game.

I would expect Vomacka to play tomorrow night.

 

[mac2351]

I don’t see this team becoming ranked at any point this season. If everyone returns next season, they might have an outside chance to be ranked.

 

[mac2351]

Cavanaugh says there is a great chance Ruslan Iskhakov plays next weekend.

 

[Bomber36]

Game on! Go Huskies. Both UConn wins vs Providence have come at Providence.

 

[Bomber36]

Huska should have made that save. Friars make it 1-0 at 7:56.

 

[Bomber36]

UConn pp at 16:30.

 

[Bomber36]

Evened it right up...our pp is putrid right now.

 

[Bomber36]

Penalty kill not much better. 2-0 PC in the second.

 

[Bomber36]

We look young and we lost a lot of agression and speed.

 

[Bomber36]

It’s lonely here....anyone watching the game?

 

[Adios]

No streaming here. Just waiting for updates. And not encouraged by their play against QU.

 

[Bomber36]

And El Mir makes it 2-1 on the PP! 12 left in the 2nd.

I can't believe the sixth-youngest team in DI struggled in their second game.

 

[Bomber36]

Refs looking at tape....could be a five minute major against UConn.

 

[Bomber36]

Luckily only 2 for charging....PP PC.

 

[Bomber36]

Huska is going to have to be very sharp this year.

 

[dbmill]

I can't believe the sixth-youngest team in DI struggled in their second game.

Or in their third game.

 

[Bomber36]

Another PP goal for PC....what a struggle on the penalty kill. 3-1 PC. 9 left in the second.

 

[zls44]

Or in their third game.

He was talking about the QU game, but, yeah.

 

[Bomber36]

Or in their third game.

They are struggling. But I’m certainly not surprised. Just looking for bright spots. Huska needs to carry them.

 

[dbmill]

He was talking about the QU game, but, yeah.

I know. I was referring to this game.

 

[Bomber36]

I know. I was referring to this game.

None of us should be surprised by this. We will get better as the season progresses.
