Section 20 was a UConn section but were available to anyone. We had to go thru Ticketmaster (I think) to buy them. Not thru the university.

After the game I googled the following. ‘NHL players who played at Maine’. The list is much longer than ours. We are the new kids to big time college hockey. Esp in Hockey East.

Oh, please. That’s just silly. They’ve obviously been in HE longer than we have, so that list should be longer. But my 8 year old car still isn’t a new car.

I bought my tickets for one session…it wasn't a two session thing. That wasn’t even an option. You had to buy tickets for both days.

I hear what you are saying. But we cannot complain about our allotment when, after a WIN, 50% of them go on the market for the second session.

But it’s your newest car - just like UConn is the newest kid on the Hockey East block

There’s no shame in getting significantly outnumbered by Black Bear fans in Boston - the Hockey East Tournament is a big deal (like UConn Big East Tournament big deal) to them. Nobody is surprised (especially on the same night MBB is playing in March Madness.

I dropped this earlier in the thread - nobody is blaming UConn fans for lack of support.

Just stop. Maine has nothing else. We do. I wonder how many Maine fans are at the NCAA tournament. No one from Maine is there, thats for sure. Imagine if we all rooted for only hockey.

If it somehow means QU doesn’t make it, that’s great.

Cornell took them down in OT. The ECAC final will be be played by two teams that have to win to make it to the dance.

Well, I know that. But QU still might make it. That was my point.

QU will make it, the only question is 3 or 4 seed

I have definitely been grumpy tonight, but I mean, whatever I said. If losing in the finals doesn’t make you mad, then you’re not a real fan. Just don’t blame the real fans,

As a former Uconn Walk on that played game shifts in 1982, I couldn't be prouder of these young men!!!!! The 2nd period told the story, i thought we out played Maine and came up empty. Sometimes that happens in sports. ON TO OUR 1st EVER NCAA TOURNEY!!!!! Congratulations Men!!!!!

UConn falls to Maine in Hockey East championship

The Huskies started slow and couldn't dig themselves out of the early hole.

I was there- to settle the whole turnout question it was at least 80% maine fans. I was stunned.
And boy do their young fans know how to talk sh----about the state of connecticut. Not even the team but the state as a whole. Quite impressive

 

[zls44]

the arena... of course the school is going to run through their allotment

It was pretty legit.

 

[The Viking]

falling behind 1-0? Not a big deal for our team. But that BS tripping penalty away from the action that lead to a 2-0 deficit? Proved to be the grim reaper of the night. And being behind and never getting a powrr play all night didn't help/

You mean there's residents of Maine that aren't geriatric? That's news to me

What the hell are you going to do in Orono on a Friday night in March? Moose or bear tipping? (Very dangerous...) Of course, they get in their cars and drive 250 miles to Boston. Really, what the else do they have to do? UConn folks have choices - that's what makes it a great university.

More importantly UConn hockey has arrived. (BTW, there is more hockey to play this year.) After some false starts, we have a solid hockey program. Don't rely on the UConn echo chamber to tell you that. Go to USCHO - we didn't budge in Pairwise after last night. Get ready for a 2 seed at tomorrow's selection show!

 

[Bomber36]

Maine has hockey. We have several other sports that divide our attention this time of year. That was and will remain my point. No one from Maine will go to a Maine MBB or WBB game this weekend. They had one place to go, so that's where they went.

Whoa easy there fella….

it was only 75% Maine fans.


and damn the seats at TD garden have less legroom than an economy seat on Delta flight 2454 to Atlanta
