Finally beat Sacred heart, but I thought they outplayed Uconn right after Firstov banked one in off the goalies back. It's difficult to get any momentum when killing penalties in the second period. Winning most of the faceoffs was really nice to see. Cavanaugh better get them ready for BU, because they can't play as sluggish as they did today. A win is a win.

I don’t agree with Dan Connelly that is was an ugly win. We finally beat SHU - in past years we would have lost it. For the first game I thought they played well. They are a much faster skating team.

Definitely not an ugly win. That’s a real bad take.
 
Jonny was a bit of a no show today. But he can do that and all of a sudden go on a big run.
 
Oh, by the way….we won.

For Kondelik not scoring for a very long time last season, it was great to see him score in the first game this year. Seems like we are going to get some very balanced point production which is the key to success in hockey

XL Security is awful. I had both knees replaced several years ago, so I am ALWAYS "wanded" going through airport security. Yesterday I told the security attendant that I would set off the alarm because of my knees. I go through, set off the alarm and she says "OK" while waving me through, no wanding or pat down. I could have had a .44 Magnum strapped to me knee!

Same here…just one though. They took my word for it.
 
They asked me if I had any bottles in my purse. If I did have them I wouldn’t tell them!

You have an honest face…we could probably sneak something good in next game! Lol.

Just a personal opinion... Nothing against the Pep Band, but when we score, I want to hear Brass Bonanza.

Heavy cringe last game.
Clearly people that knew the deal graduated or something.
Didnt wait for brass bonanza to finish and didn’t do UCONN chant twice.
Needs some work for Friday and crowd/students better show up.

it went like:

Brass Bonanza plays a little bit..... faint drumroll "u.......o-n-n, UConn, U--"

awful
 
I’m really missing our PA announcer from years gone by. He could get the crowd juiced at team introductions and after goals, anybody know what’s going on in that regard?
Hope they put a few kids on the icebus this Friday night. I think 10 students might have been an overcount for the SH game. I remember freezing on January nights outdoors in Storrs. Forgive my get off my lawn moment….but, Come on kids, show up!

No idea what happened to the PA guy. Loved him. New dude is all right but damn the old one was great
 
Some thoughts.
Sacred heart seemed to play well after our third goal. Really took it to us in the last 10 minutes of the second period. But our response to start the third was something we may not have seen in years past vs SHU. Good to see.

The newcomers were very good. Strong additions by the coaching staff.

Evans was pretty invisible but we also only had one PP attempt compared to SHU’s five PP attempts. I’d expect him to find the back of the net next game.

Was it me or was Capone scratched? Don’t recall seeing him.

The goaltender was pretty good. His second goal he was shielded by an SHU forward and UConn player. Not much he could do about that.

Brass Bonanza was stepped on every time by the band. I’ll chalk that up to a mistake. They better not keep doing it.

Tuite was the PA guy. I hope the prior PA guy didn’t leave town or find some other gig since it’s been two years since the last home game.

I honestly didn’t realize the season started first week of October until a few days before the game. I’m thinking the crowd for the Friday game should be decent. Can’t wait.

Oh, and the electronic tix are a pain in the ass. I miss the good old booklet of tix.

I called the ticket office a few weeks ago to request printed tickets, and received them last week. Not in booklet form, but individual tix. Much easier to give away to others or (shhhh) resell. Plus my grandchildren get to keep mementos.

Believe me or not but I go to school with Coach Cavanaugh's son and played hockey with him. Back in February he said that Capone got injured (I think it was an MCL tear?). I texted him during Saturday's game asking if he's still injured, he said yes. I believe I saw Capone on the concourse later in the game. I'm only guessing it was him because he appeared around 6'4" with a chubby face. He did not appear to be wearing any sort of medical gear on any part of his body, but he was wearing larger pants.

I highly doubt that Cav would just scratch Capone in the first game. He's an NHL prospect, I think we got drafted in the 6th round. He has to play his prospects if they're healthy, otherwise other players like Capone will not want to come to UConn.

This is from last Friday: -> Injury report - Sophomore forward Nick Capone will miss out with an upper body injury. “It’s not a serious injury but he’s not gonna play tomorrow,” Cavanaugh said. <-
