Disappointed in the finish. That was the first time they were the better team in the final.

50 shots on goal, Merrimack blocked at least 20 more. No idea how many shot attempts UConn had

Tough to lose on such a bad turnover. Cannot blame Moose. Saved Scott on his brutal turnover too.

Just seems like something has been off with Muldowney for awhile. Cav said he was hurt but played through it. Maybe he never got back to full strength.
100 shot attempts including 50 in 3rd according to broadcast. Hockey is always tough. Hot goalie one game can change everytjing. Tesm played a great game except two awful plays in our own zone and both lead to goals. And 1 where Moose bailed us out. Lets go Michigan. If we get in we can be dangerous.

Current guess:

ALB Mich - Prov - PnSt - Bent
SD_ NDak - Dul - Quinn - Merr
WOR MichSt - Dart - Wisc - Ct
CO_ WMU - Denv - Corn - MnSt
 
Blaming Cav is absurd. 50 shots on goal!
Look it's great we out shot them but merimack came out in the third with a lot of energy that led to that back breaking goal. But how many times are we going to get there and fall short. Well as of right now we are in the NCAA tournament. But not liking our chances to making the frozen four since we will have to play Michigan state!

Anyone that thinks that loss is on Cav is absolutely delusional.
One critique I have is I think he waited too long to pull the goalie. UConn had some good ozone time a couple minutes prior to pulling Moose. Thought he should have done it then. He seems to like to wait longer than most coaches to pull his goalie. Definitely not a Pecknold in that regard.

It was just blind luck that they didn’t score after we pulled Moose. I didn’t have a problem with waiting. We were putting a ton of pressure on them.
