Was nervous to post/watch tonight because I'm superstitious and don't like throwing off the mojo. But now I may need to keep watching
 
Awesome, complete domination played down to the end like it was a tied game killing the PP, getting the last minute goal and even shooting it at the buzzer, lets keep that same energy next weekend.

What really has impressed me is that they finally figured out what they need to do to come out fast In past years in big games it would take 10 minutes for us to get in the game or be down a couple of goals big 4 points let’s go

Seven HE wins in the last eight games! 14 of a possible 16 points! Home ice for the HE playoffs a possibility!
Let's give credit where due; Well done, Mike Cavanaugh.

Yep...it’s definitely time to give Cav some credit...if we’re gonna blame him for losses, the opposite must hold true. Way to go Cav!

But will The Hartford Courant devote more than three column inches to UConn Hockey? Or is it more important (PC?) to devote space to women's basketball seniors who (other than Dangerfield) have accomplished, on the court,...…………..what????

That will be interesting to see.

This is about the most UConn post imaginable.

But it’s a fact....the Courant thinks we still play in an outdoor, on campus arena and not HE. Otherwise, they’d make more an effort to actually write a halfway decent article. Thank goodness for the Boneyard, the UConn Blog and Twitter. They are the sources of hockey news...the Courant falls painfully short.

My issue with the post has nothing to do with the Courant's coverage. It's the circular firing squad of one fan base taking down another to support their team. It's stupid. Why not just make the point about the hockey team's coverage?

Also: 1) it's not "PC" to cover the women, its business, they are infinitely more popular than the hockey team (and I like the hockey team more but that's the facts), and 2) to call into question what the womens team has accomplished to make the case for hockey is ridiculous.
 
I couldn’t agree more with this post. Why do we have to put down the women’s team to make a point. I’m a fan of all UConn sports and I don’t begrudge coverage of any team. I read them all. Newspapers are on life support - they are trying to sell papers. I’d love to see more hockey coverage but I go elsewhere to get it. Huge hockey East game last night and only 5600 people show up. Let’s see how many will be there Friday night.

5600 is probably the highest attendance for all of HE this weekend. The Courant should be better. It doesn’t have to be at the cost of covering other teams. They can expand the sports section from five to six pages on a Monday. They are at fault here. They don’t get my money because of stuff like this.
