Merrimack scores with 17:00 remaining.

1-0

I checked out the alumni thing at Big Night Live but they had no TVs with the hockey or basketball games so I just went into the arena after like 20 minutes, decent amount of UConn people inside considering we probably won’t start until 7:30 (or later! 0-0 after 2 between UMass and MC)

Kinda dull but met lots of parents. Super nice!

Key to the game - no dumb penalties! Keep it a 5 on 5 game as much as possible and forecheck like a madman- responsibly.
Score early on all these nhl draft picks and put the pressure on them and their coach

 

[The Viking]

Merrimack crushing Umass on faceoffs

 

[mac2351]

Merrimack 2-0. Scores on an empty net

 

[RitzLuce1]

does this eliminate UMass or move us ahead of them on NPI?

UMass is out of the national tournament

This might mean UConn has to win the tournament. Not 100% sure

 

[mac2351]

Merrimack goalie was lights out.

UMass has a top three goalie in the country but UMass got outplayed and couldn’t get him any support

UConn will need to slow this game down, especially when Hagens and Latourneau are on the ice. Just muck this game up, take away time and space. Try to keep the game close and try to pull out the win in the 3rd. Should be a fun. Let's go Huskies.

I.e. the need to do some blue collar hitting.

 

[JeannoCT]

Let’s gooooooooooo

 

[RSTuthill]

That loss really cost UMass. All the way down to 17th. It will change but I think the second at large bid is very much at risk for HE.

UMass is done. I think UConn’s at large is done also

 

[RSTuthill]

UMass is done. I think UConn’s at large is done also

Win baby win. The only way.

Hulu is not working

Good start this one. UConn has some nice chances on the PP and BC is flying and really moving the puck.

 

[HuskyHawk]

UConn looking good so far. Lots of chances.

Haven’t paid as much attention is Hockey East down this year or just filled with similar level teams so that nobody looks strong enough.

 

[The Viking]

Another BC power play. Love our chance to win 5 on 5 But power plays will eventually kill us

 

[mac2351]

Jake Richard has to stop with these penalties

 

[mac2351]

UConn caught a massive break on that

 

[CTBballfan243]

We got lucky there.

 

[CTBballfan243]

BC very aggressive on the penalty kill.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn will lose if this game becomes a parade to the penalty box

 

[UC15]

Are these refs gonna call everything little thing Jesus
