Another good kill.

 

[Bomber36]

Big save by 33.

3 on 3 gonna be tough...

Yikes!

Snots...

 

[JeannoCT]

What a shame.

 

[Bomber36]

That was disappointing.

 

[Bomber36]

Hell of a game. UConn looked good.

I hate 3 on 3. It's not close to real hockey. Play 4 on 4 and then go shootout if this league hates ties so much.
Still pissed ishkakov left right before they added this format. He would have been dominant..

Vomacka got hooked a bit there before he went to cover the puck but really happy with the effort that they showed in the 3rd period. Losing to the number 2 team in the country in OT is not bad

 

[JeannoCT]

Looking forward to tomorrow’s game. We’ll get em tomorrow.

... and they get a point.

Your goalie played a great game! I like the job Cav is doing, team skated very well in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Very entertaining hockey to watch. Sucks we can’t get into these games.

 

[TMB4405]

Overall that was a great game. Hate to get moral victories but after first period we looked every bit of an equal to a very good team. Hope the effort tomorrow is the same.

 

[NE Football]

UConn looked very good after the first period. They look like a top 4 HEA team. I really don’t think Knight would have stopped any of those 3 goals.

Dump Overtime. Adopt the soccer rules: 3 pts for a win, 1 to each team for a tie, and NO OT unless it's a knockout game requiring advancement.

3-on-3 is a joke. Imagine the NFL playing 7-on-7!

In my mind, anytime a sport changes how the game is played in overtime is a joke. That would certainly include reducing the number of players in the field of play, or baseball's practice of placing a runner at second base at the beginning of each extra inning.

The biggest joke of of the Hockey East overtime rules is the shootout. In Hockey East, once overtime play is over, the game is declared a tie, but they still proceed to the shootout, but the shootout does not affect who is declared the winner or loser in terms of points that are allotted in the standings. To me this makes no sense at all.

Sadly, in a Hockey East league game, the shootout winner DOES get 2 points for HE standings. For NCAA purposes, the shootout is ignored, and the game is recorded as a tie. So the UConn non-league shootout "victory" over UMass is a tie for NCAA purposes, and is not - yet - an HE league game, as it was a "flex game". If, however, it becomes a "league" game due to a future UConn-UMass cancellation, then UConn gets two league points and UMass one.

Garbage. The way to encourage/reward wins is not Mickey Mouse shootouts, but 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, zero for a loss.

Love the grey fade jersey. Hate the camera angles at Freitas.
