UConn played terrific, BC is just has so much talent. UConn should be able to build off this weekend. They played really well. BC is just better. Tip your hat and get ready for the next opponent. UConn certainly has no reason to hang their head.
 
Really good college hockey game. Very entertaining. The kids on both teams played really hard.
 
It’s not worth getting annoyed about any longer.

The program with Cavanaugh will always be mediocre. He is not the guy to bring this program to the next level.

The program is just stuck in a sort of purgatory with him at the helm. However, he is not going anywhere so it is what it is for seasons to come.
 
UConn did not play well. They had very few high quality chances and were dominated by a far superior team.
 
Four home games
Three shutouts
Three goals

He’s won about 100 participation trophies.

Yes. UConn played very well. Really good puck support along the boards. Their forecheck put a lot of pressure on BC’s very talented D corps. UConn’s penalty kill was solid as well. UConn also did a decent job moving the puck out of their own zone. BC did not really have too much sustained pressure in UConn’s zone.

UConn didn’t get as many points as they would have liked this weekend, but certainly a lot of positives to take from the weekend moving forward.
 
We are cursed. I’ve been to every home game (4) and seen 3 goals scored. I’m going to start giving my tickets away.

No. They didn’t.

BC sat back and waited for UConn to show any semblance of offensive competence. They did not. They were correct.
 
Seven months ago, in the same building, UConn scored 6 goals on BC. They peppered them that weekend.

Since then, BC brought in an incredible recruiting class and UConn, sans Joe Pereira, did not. Richard is good. But the roster is drastically worse.


Tonight is the result.

Sorry, as frustrated as I am, I just don’t agree with this take. Maybe it’s the optimist in me, but there you have it.

UConn is not going to be able to get the players BC or BU get. BC and BU get the crème of the crop of hockey talent in Hockey East. Always have, always will. BC and BU both got really good hauls this year. The good thing is most will move on after this year. UConn needs to develope the 2nd tier guys that are going to stay for 4 years. UConn will be okay. They will win their share of games.
This just one of those years where BC and BU are loaded with NHL level freshmen. That won’t happen every year as evidenced by last year.

Our freshmen will develop and get better, it just might take a couple of years. Be patient.
