UConn MHOC 2024-25

Good point. They can play, as we saw on Saturday.

They also have a new barn. CT is well positioned to become a dominant area of the country if they have not achieved that status already, with national championships at Yale and QU.

We need one for UConn next. I see from Heisenburg that UConn have two Russians signed for 2026 arrival. Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk. Well south of Yekat. 9 time zones away, but playing juniors here of course.

That would be hilarious. And Nelson would probably start a petition to drop hockey. LOL. This team is really fun to watch. To me, Seemed like that BU game even though they lost with the #3 goalie got them thinking they can indeed compete on this level.

All is looking up but these numbers will not hold unless we finish 1 or 2 in HE. Top 4 probably locks up a bid. Anything worse and it's bubble time.

Based on games played well have the 5th or 6th best record in HE since Lowell and PC have games in hand. A winning weekend vs PC will be a huge boost to the post season hopes. A negative result will put us back a number of spots.

Way too many games left to start counting chickens.

That is no doubt correct. Our goal is to win games. Although it isn’t actually true that we need to finish top 4 in hockey East. UMass finished 5th last year but got in while Providence was 4th and did not. Because of the way PWR works, you can finish lower in your league yet beat out someone above you for a bid. I won’t say it happens all the time but it happens enough. I know UMass beat PC in the HEA tournament but still, and UMass got not just blown out of the building but out of the state by BC in the HEA tourney.

One shift at a time, as the saying goes.

But for someone who remembers well the D-3 days under the Saarinen Roof, it is heady stuff.

Only things that really matter the rest of the season are getting comfortable in the top pairwise and getting a bye in the HE tournament.
