Three consecutive losses to Holy Cross…HOLY CROSS! Another great power play.. 0-6.

HC belongs in the HEA.

They would be a nice add.

The team will know what they have to work on in practice next week. They didn’t play terrible. Just need to strive to get better everyday. Put this game behind them and get ready for tomorrow’s battle. Holy Cross did a nice job. Tip of the cap to them.

Their skaters played well during 5 on 5. On the flip side In every other facet they were terrible. If they were just average on the power play Or penalty kill. Or if their goaltending was average, UConn leaves with at worst a tie on the road

I really didn’t think goaltending was an issue. Not sure any goaltender would have made the save on any of the power play goals. The 4th goal was just a crazy bounce off the glass.

At Cav’s preseason presser, Cavanaugh said he put Peruzzi in charge of the penalty kill and Peruzzi is going to “spearhead” recruiting.

One thing that I would like to know is if Peruzzi was the power play coach at Northern Michigan

Northern Michigan had the 19th best power play in the country last season.

UConn: 59th out of 64

If Peruzzi was in charge of the power play at Northern and Cavanaugh did not put him in charge of the pp at UConn then that is a head scratcher to say the least.

The second goal was legit. Top shelf from an angle.
Maybe my standard is high but goals 1 and 3 should have been stopped if the goalie was good. There were no deflections involved.
The fourth goal was some weird pirouette where he dropped to the ice after the save off his shoulder and they shot over him. I would have liked him to stay up. At the very least 2 of the 4 goals should have been stopped.

6 wins in 20 games against AHA teams under Cav since joining Hockey East. Two in the last nine.

But @CTBballfan243 wants us to just tip the old cap! To everyone!

So is this the worst goaltending we will have since we entered the hockey east?
The loss of Sergeev this year is absolutely brutal

transferred to Penn State - missed that.

He’d be on the Titanic while it was sinking saying “Well, at least we got halfway to New York.“

UConn dropped by Holy Cross, 4-3

The Huskies' special teams units struggled in the defeat.

I think if Cav doesn’t get to the Garden this year he needs to look for a new address. Even at its best the UConn power play has been mediocre and it hasn’t been good for a while.

Nice hard fought bounce back win by the team. Not an offensively gifted group, but they work hard.

Recap of today’s game…a quick one. Sparse, but involved crowd. PK much better, we keep giving ourselves lots of in game practice on this. The penalties were pretty well earned. The refs could have let one of them go. Not aggressive enough on the PP. Lots of passes, need more shots. It’s the old adage, that if you throw enough poop against the wall, some of it will stick. Shoot the puck. Overall…nice performance by this group that gels more with every period. I sit right behind the bench at the XL and these guys seem to really like and support each other. Good and needed win…broke the HC curse. They are a work in progress, but this is a more cohesive team than last years version.
