First goal tonight would be nice

First goal tonight would be nice

I think if they can get to the break culminating w/ Maine and finish up that stretch 5-2 or better, that’ll be a nice short term goal. Not an easy task, but I think doable especially if u can steal an unexpected win against BC. Also, by getting Maine only once at this point is a fortunate scheduling run out.

 

[mac2351]

Maine has a huge opportunity this weekend at home vs #1 BC. Alfond is going to be electric.

I’m not sure what I’m rooting for…Maine wins or BC holding onto the top ranking then UConn getting their shot at an overall top ranked victory. Those are kinda rare I would think. Never know the ramifications in a long season.

 

[Fantana]

I love the optimism. And you can’t turn down the opportunity to get a crack at number 1.

Like to see better performance on home ice tonight. Let’s start weekend 1-0

No goals so far but UConn is playing a heck of a second period

 

[dbmill]

Merrimack just scored to tie the game at 2 in the middle of the 2nd period.

 

[mac2351]

Cavanaugh cannot keep splitting the goalies.

What is Sergeev doing on these goals? He’s not getting any better.

The first goal Pascucci left Sergeev out to dry but Sergeev’s technique is crazy.

UConn was absolutely dominating the first ten minutes of the period

Merrimack 2 goals on 4 shots this period

 

[huskymedic]

Lucas ties it up @ 3

Watching Sergeev play goal is laughable.

Like what is he doing?

Cav has to think about pulling him.

An absolute train wreck of a team

An absolute train wreck of a season

Man, another tough Hockey East game. This conference is just a gauntlet. UConn playing hard.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn will certainly be battle tested. No easy nights in Hockey East.

 

[CTBballfan243]

The penalty killers are certainly playing tough.

 

[mac2351]

Hopefully Cavanaugh can make break out his eyeglasses and read from the stat page about UConn’s shots on goal in his postgame

 

[Scoe]

This is team is just incapable of winning consistently, we just continue to choke games away year after year. Seem to have allergic reactions in close games.

 

[CTBballfan243]

The kids will need to put this game behind them and get ready for the next game. Merrimack is a solid Hockey East team.

Maine beat #1 BC

BTW, Holy Cross has won 1 game in 8 tries since sweeping UConn
