Nice workman like effort for UConn tonight. Everyone hustled and really worked hard. UConn will need to bring that type effort every game this year to help make up for what the team is lacking in overall level of skill.

The squad looked relaxed but played hungry. It's a very long season but a great start, especially if the Huskies can carry through and sweep the Raiders tomorrow. The power play finally looked organized and comfortable in the diamond formation with decent puck movement. There wasn't a player who had a bad game, but on Janviriya and Nyberg impressed me on D for totally different reasons - mobility and smarts from Jan and size and reach from Nyberg but with mobility.

It was interesting seeing Whitcomb play with the approximate build of Wood and the same number. He may not be as talented, especially the hands, but he has a decent shot and the better thing is that he hustles, which is something Wood rarely did.

The team looks comfortable out there with good overall speed, and maybe with expectations low they can fly under the radar for awhile.

Only one game but the energy and chemistry seems to be improved from last season. Really good performance.

Just seems the team has a different feel from last year with certain players no longer with the program

Goaltending is going to be the question mark moving forward. Some shaky moments and big rebounds left out there

Nyberg’s size and reach combined with his skating is going to be a force out there if he stays for a couple more seasons.

Good get by Peruzzi
