UConn at BU in HE playoffs

This one hurts, but I’m real proud of this group. Especially the seniors. They have given us a lot to build on.
 
Can’t lose that game last night what a horrible win to give away.
After watching tonight even in loss I would have felt pretty confident t going into tomorrow

You can't lose that game last night. You can't. 0 for 12 is 0 for 12 for Cavanaugh. Nice run at the end but when you look at these morgues that schools like BU and Northeastern are playing in, we need to start getting some top recruits and start beating these teams in the playoffs.

You should try checking out UConn's recruiting class coming up. Very highly rated.

I'm excited. There is a lot of potential here to build a great program. BU has a great history and they are playing in a fraction of a crowd that we would have played in at the XL Center. That's gotta be attractive to top players if we are committed to turning this into the next championship program at UConn.

Big props to the UConn fans who showed up. Second straight game you were heard big time with the chants and second straight game the BU announcers were impressed with the IceBus
Wish there was a game tomorrow I could go to

Getting a quality ice hockey facility on campus would be even more impressive for potential recruits.

So you are saying likely or official?
I thought you had to be 32 to play for Quinnipiac so there is no age limit right?

I’m just saying it is very likely. Players with his skill level are highly unlikely to return for a fourth year.

He almost left last summer but chose to return.

Don't they want to play in front of....people? When the lower bowl is filled to the T at the XL the atmosphere is supreme to any I've watched in Hockey East. The Boston schools in particular. Watching our games at BU and Northeastern it was hard to stay interested because no one was there. That can't be fun to play in front of.

On campus facilities matter big time in recruiting in any college sport. Besides, given what is going on in Connecticut you can't count on the XL Center staying open long term.
 
Very nice season for UConn. Coach Cavanaugh has done a good job with this group. UConn will probably take a step back next year wth the graduation of all the seniors. UConn will be very young next year and will need time to develop. It should be fun watching a young UConn team develop over the course of next season. Overall, I am happy with the direction of the program under coach Cavanaugh. I am looking forward to seeing the team compete next season.

It would be a shortsighted disaster to close the XL Center.
 
This is tough to swallow. Whoever mentioned Coach Cav being 0-12 is factually right, however, watching how hard these kids competed in this 2 game series, does not support what I believe to be the intent of drawing negative attention to the Coach’s playoff record. Typically a coach loses in the play-offs because his teams don’t show up/underachieve. Regardless of his record, Coach Cav had these kids ready, they pushed their potential higher by out working teams. Kids don’t do that for inferior leaders.

Still, it’s tough. And it’s tough because we now expect to win, which is great for the program, but terrible for my stress and anxiety.
 
UConn outshot BU 37-19 tonight. Outshot them 15-5 in the third period.

Its amazing BU ended up pulling out 2 wins the last 2 days. Huska was clearly not sharp at all after not playing for two months.
