Wow, that was so close.

 

[mac2351]

Heaslip just saved a goal. Heck of a block

 

[The Viking]

Showing a ton of heart and a ton if bad turnovers in our zone- gotta clean that up.
Overpassing on the PP but to tie it is huge

 

[Bomber36]

Stupid is as stupid does. Not necessary.

 

[mac2351]

5th UConn penalty. BC already has 2 power play goals

 

[The Viking]

Yeah that is a flop. He barely touches him and these guys knowif you get in a certain position and geel contact you go down and they are calling it. Hes not the first giy to do that thre smart players flop near yhe boards

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn needs to stay out of the Box. The refs are making that call. Learn from it.

 

[Bomber36]

That being said, you have to be smart enough not to push the guy from behind that close to the boards.

 

[CTBballfan243]

We are even after 2. Couldn’t ask for much more than that.

 

[CL82]

Feel good about being tired after two given the 5 power plays. Good heart by the team to come right back both times.

 

[mac2351]

5v5 there playing well. Imperative to stay out of the box in the 3rd.

 

[Bomber36]

A long season will come down to the final 20 minutes.

 

[The Viking]

messineo skating gingerly off the ice- not liking that

Didnt push him- touched him. He went down like there was a sniper in the building.
Regardless lets hope the officials let them play in the third

These are the games I wish UConn had a player other teams feared because every time he was on the ice he was going to take the puck and set up a teammate or score a goal.

Yeah i love our lunch pail blue collar style of play. And we have guys who can score. But you look at some of the skill on this BC team and its like just give us 1 of those - even just for the PP at least.

BC are the college version of the philly flyers - they have tons of skill, but they lose a lot because their possession numbers are terrible and they are really soft.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Score! 3-2 UConn

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn takes the lead 3-2

 

[Bomber36]

Murtagh!

 

[CTBballfan243]

This would be a good time for a UConn PP goal.

 

[The Viking]

A brutal hideous giveaway. Just dont be stupid and this game is probably over

 

[mac2351]

Weak play by Whitcomb. Get the puck out with purpose. Teed up that one timer by Conmy

Now let’s get a power play goal
