No goal after a five minute review.

Firstov hits the post.

 

[Bomber36]

UConn doing everything except put the puck in the net. One nothing after the second.

 

[Bomber36]

AIC goalie is playing a heck of a game.

 

[Bomber36]

2-0 AIC.

 

[Bomber36]

3rd has been all AIC so far. 8-1 in shots. Under 10 left.

 

[JeannoCT]

Ugh

 

[scotty0330]

Is this gonna be another one of those WTF losses that cav has essentially patented after a big win on the road?

 

[Bomber36]

UConn looks very tired. AIC has owned the puck.

Kondelik! 2-1

 

[Bomber36]

Kondelik with a goal to make it 2-1!

 

[huskymedic]

Kondelik! 2-1

 

[Bomber36]

AIC goal. 3-1. Less than 3 left.

 

[Bomber36]

Game to AIC. 3-1. Very disappointing effort.

I want to scream and yell and stomp my feet….but I have to save it for Hockey East games. And don’t give me dislikes…it’s not my fault.

AIC is a tough team that plays very hard.. They will be a tough out in the NCAA tournament again this year. They’re good.

Well, there’s a ways to go before they make it…but I agree, they are tough. That goalie is very good.

Eric Lang is an incredibly good coach. Lives in Simsbury. Would take the UConn job tomorrow. And it wont happen.

After a nice road win at BC, they mailed it in tonight. This is a game that the coaches have to get the kids up for. These are tough games to coach, but that's why Cavanaugh makes the big money. Damn it, win the games you supposed to win and half of the tough ones and you can have a very good season. We're not there yet...

Another big letdown after a big win. It has been this way for years with these guys. AIC is a good team, but seriously? Is anybody else questioning Cav as the guy?

 

[Viet Vet]

Dropped in Pairwise from 19 to 22.

We should be..... I try to stay quiet on this stuff but man. The Uconn record for Cav going into this year --85–121–29 (.423). With 10 of his top 12 scorers back and he's back doing Cav things (9-8)......being mediocre. He seems to mirror his personality, bland and someone who was going to quit coaching until he got the Uconn job. And it's not like he doesn't get guys on the NHL's radar, but how many of them never improve or even look worse the longer they stay with him (Thompson, Letunov, both looked better as FR...etc.)

As someone who played the game at a decent level, spent time with the Whalers organization and donated to this Uconn program since the early 90's, why is this guy still here ? Who at Uconn would still have a job with this record and this goes way beyond facilities narrative, which was a nice crutch, for job security.

OK I'm done.... go on a run Cav or we should be looking for the next Pecknold or Carvel for the new era of Uconn puck.

AIC got some very strategic transfer portal pickups in the off season. I believe the goalie was one of the pickups. The coach seems to be very good as well. The UConn AD needs to keep his name in mind for the future.

Cav will be at UConn to coach in the new building. He was probably promised a new building when he took the job.
