Worst lead in hockey.

I thought that was the 2 goal lead…


One opinion…well Wikipedia is like a 1000 opinions…not that any of them are correct, after all it is Wikipedia.

New year, same s* t. Same s *t.
 
They can blame the OT goal on #28, Cav put him out for the last face off in OH St. end in the last 15-20 seconds. He floated around when OH St. won it and broke it out and didn't look to stay with his man. His man was the trailer as they broke into the zone while he was floating cluelessly watching the puck as his man drove to the net with almost no time left until it was to late to pick him up.

Kid needs to learn 3 on 3 hockey 101 or Cav should have known better in that situation. Could see it coming all the way, and what a shame because Uconn controlled the puck for almost the entire OT.

It’ll get better…still trying to slot a lot of guys in…a win tomorrow makes a long road trip a success…even when you should have won both.

When you are up 3-0 you have to put the game away. No excuse at this level. Wow. On to tomorrow…again. I’m pissed about this one.

How can you think they're gonna make the next step when they fall over the easy one year after year after year? Its exhausting.

So wrong…Tverberg is a stud…he’s the guy you want out there on a 3 on 3. You haven’t been watching. Anyway…it never should have come down to that. Remember when Cav thought OSU was offside on there first goal. They were.

Also thought the ice was terrible and it killed Uconn's speed advantage all game as they were constantly fighting the puck. Then announcers mentioned 80 degree temps and the warm arena late in the game, so yeah, that didn't help either.

I don’t think that’s the answer or that it is what should happen. Hanson has played well. I wouldn’t mess with that this early in the season.

Agreed…it was the one smart thing the announcers mentioned. We are the faster team.

I'm not wrong, kids got great wheels and he's a good player, which as I said, was neutralized with the bad ice as was most of Uconn's speed. So yeah I have been watching and played the game at a high level for years, but he blew the last 15-20 secs which happens, but it's still the truth and anyone who knows the game has to know better vs. 3-3.

My bad…but I still think he was the right guy to put out there. You want your fast guys out there and the others had been out there to long. but, having re read your post, I agree with you. Would love to see that last 30 seconds again.

I don’t want to ride our starter into the ground like we seemed to do with Vomacka.
Has nothing to do with Hanson’s play.
Plus Hanson is only here for one year and it’s a non conference game.
And lastly when you put in a young goalie, the team seems to tighten up their defensive play around him.

Wow, Sacred Heart with a late GWG at BU in a game in which they dominated.

I still want to see Hanson in net tomorrow, but I do get your take on it. I don’t see Cav as a guy that will risk someome with no experience in an early season must win game. And this is a must win. I’d give the kid the start against Dartmouth to give Hanson a rest If need be.

Agreed you do want him out there in 3-3's and the kids a weapon in most situations, but I could see the last goal coming a mile away when I almost thought he was gonna forecheck behind the net after Uconn lost the draw in Ohio St's end. . He needed to get on his horse and backcheck like crazy because there was only secs. left.

Hopefully it's a learning moment ( like Wheelers blind pass to his D partner that sent them in on a breakaway for their 2nd goal. I just hate when Uconn was the better team and beats theirselves.

Best post of the night…especially the last sentence. That’s exactly how I felt. You described the two bad goals given up in one post.

Tomorrow night is not a must win. What is over if we lose

Nothing is over…but you just cannot lose two games to an inferior team this early in the year. We have a lot of new players out there. They have to establish themselves. Losing is not how that is done. And I did say “early season must win game.” There is a difference. It can set a tone for the season. We must win on the road. Learn that early.

Well, tomorrow’s game starts at 3…right on the heels of the UConn vs Yale game. Let’s hope both games make us happy.
 
Please be here tomorrow and help us pull for the boys! They may never see our posts, but I still have to think that our positive waves can help.

Besides the first game, Ive thought Hanson has played well, but he also can't play every game. Afternoon game after a night game, not to mention a tough loss, I don't think this is bad spot to give the freshman some PT.
 
I feel like this team is like the antithesis of our prior hockey east teams. In the past, we've had to rely on goaltending, defense, effort and making the most of our scoring opportunities. But this year it our strength is definitely our speed and offense. I also thought we were way too lackadaisical with the puck in our defensive and neutral zone throughout the game. One positive is we didn't play particularly well, but still should've won this game.
