I have never been to Toscano before tonight and I probably got spoiled. Unreal atmosphere, so glad Providence brought their band, made it even more fun.

The Ice Bus controlled most of the last 25 minutes of the game. Time to ship up to Boston, likely against national #1 BC unless there's an upset in the other quarterfinals

We’ve been there and done that. BC doesn’t scare us! Glad you were there tonight. It was definitely electric.

Walking down from the parking garage you could feel it. Just a great fun atmosphere! 2 teams that you kind of feel don’t like each other, hard hitting, similar styles. Shoutout to the UConn goalie. Muszliek made some great saves. I was surprised he was the starter. Made a kick save late in the third that was spectacular.

And what can you say about Shandor? That was Kirk Gibson territory!

We aren’t small and slow any more. We can play with anybody now

Has to be. The PC guy shoved the net into the boards and I saw the ref reacting. I didn't realize a penalty was called.

The linesman (Richitelle?) was brushed by the upended goal. Actually it was a very dangerous move. I wouldn't be surprised if #27 sits a game if they make the NCAA tournament.

But, otherwise all aces for the Huskies! Pairwise didn't budge post game, so I think we're a lock for the NCAA tournament. Playing with house money now!

Lol no he's not sitting a game for that. Richetelle is partially at fault for being lazy since thats his zone. He's supposed to hard stop at the red line to pick the puck out of the net if you watch the clip he stops but is being lazy and doesn't full on stop which causes him to drift behind the net a bit when said net gets thrown off. When it comes to refereeing evaluations one of the biggest things refs get criticized for is positioning on the ice.

The play by play guy from NESN just reeks Syracuse. Voice inflections going to break, non commital views toward referring calls and cliche sport phrases. Give me Joe D and Randy all day over these two sterile bores

Just watched the replay on ESPN+. After the UConn ENG the announcer did have a classic. “Clear the Pike, the Icebus is coming to Boston!” Loved that one!

Reeking of Syracuse is far more painful and debilitating than anything we can do to him...

I'm no fan of Richitelle, but you deliberately upend a 100 lbs goal and hit anyone, you should be in trouble. It was certainly intentional.

All good and let's not underestimate the importance of Spetz' hit on Kivioja - he crushed him and the team smelled blood!

I agree. Not too big of a fan of any HE official, but they are still the officials and players need to be respectful of them and accountable for their actions. that kid is a giant, and what he did intentionally could have been much worse if richitelle was a few feet ahead. 27 should sit for at least a game.
 
@The Viking yes that was me. Not sure if my PMs are getting through. The fellow sitting behind me and calling me Bomber is @Viet Vet. Bomber has been my nickname for years, going back to my 30 years of rugby.

Agree, but I think there is a problem with UConn potentially going to Manchester. BC will be in Manchester as a 1. The question is which number 1 and which number 2 UConn is. As of now they are the 3rd number 2 not the 4th. I think means if form holds UConn would not go to Manchester. But I do not have time to do the analysis. It is an interesting problem though if someone wants to try
 
That was Providence’s first loss when scoring first this season. I believe they were 14-0-3
 
Just a quick mention on the topic of bad announcers. The regular season BU home tandem takes the award. I know they love Corbett up their, but they must be drinking that dirty water.
 
UConn vs ... BU???????

What the hell happened???

So I looked at the scores tonight and was blown away!!!! No BC????

Wow!!! Blood is REALLY on the water now!!!! Let's do this, UConn!! Go Huskies!!!
