When? Just when? What is it with the last minute or so of periods.

Not really a big hockey fan, but happened to catch the last 10 minutes of the 3rd period. Pretty entertaining and disappointing.
 
BC is a very good hockey team, a Jerry York led team always has the potential to win a natty. Glad we skated with them the whole game. Still have a lot of good takeaways, just gotta grab points against PC
 
That was a tough loss, but BC earned the win. They had the better scoring chances through most of the game. Hanson kept us in it. On to PC.

I was really impressed with BC's blueliners all night.
 
Final attendance was announced something like 5.5k

That was by far - and I’m not exaggerating in any fashion - the sloppiest game we have played all year. Our play in our defensive end? Horrific. The countless giveaways in our end, the passes that weren’t tape to tape, the odd man advantages where we were seemingly always a half second behind.
It was amazing we lost by 1. And that is in part a testament to Hanson, who in my opinion is the best goalie in the league. Although to be fair I’ve only seen four or five goalies.

By the way the crowd was great. Fantastic place to watch a game (condolences to the XL haters). The PA announcer is the best there is. A lot of young kids back. It was great to see some normalcy at the XL again.
If we could have scored more, we would have brought the roof down, but alas…

I was going to post exactly this. Said to my pal on the way out that without Hanson this was 5-1. Slow, sloppy passing. Maybe you get away with that vs Maine. Not with BC.
 
View from the seats was that the better team won. Bradley impressed me. Kid is good. Fast, skilled and he hits people. We were lousy getting out of our end and BC was terrific at it. We couldn’t get any kind of forecheck going all night. I thought our first line was outplayed all night. Evans was mostly invisible.

UConn needs to tighten some things up. Lots of sloppy passes, bad clearance attempts and not a lot of checking. But it’s exciting that a UConn hockey team can play so-so and nearly beat BC.
 
I’m not big on moral victories. That was fine in our early days. Now it isn’t. Hanson almost stole one, but we looked absolutely terrible. Slow to the puck, you are right our first line got completely out played from the first minute to the last. Tvorburg was the only guy out there who played hard but 2 on 6 usually doesn’t work too well. BC’s’ first goal they seemed like they kept the puck in our end for 5 minutes. Very frustrating watching guys make half hearted efforts to clear it. All in all I thought it was an extremely disappointing performance.

I couldn't agree more. It also seemed the puck was bouncing, and rolling all over the place. Maybe that had something to do with it.
