Fraser has more goals than he did all of last season.

He’s probably the breakout player of the year so far

 

[mac2351]

Wow what a terrible call and tremendous break for UConn

And Northeastern turned into Northeastern in the 2nd period.

BC tied it at 3

I have to admit the atmosphere at BC is pretty impressive

 

[mac2351]

These Lowell games are tough to watch. I cannot stand their style of play

 

[huskymedic]

Woot… woot.

Jake Percival w/ empty netter w/ 25 seconds left. 2-0

 

[Bomber36]

Good effort boys!

 

[scotty0330]

Take it. Great start to weekend. Long day tomorrow, trip up to Maine then game….so getting tonight was huge

They have won two in a row already.

UConn beat Union and then Lowell in overtime.

 

[JeannoCT]

Great game. We needed it.

[Bomber36]

A happy recap!

 

[mac2351]

Northeastern is going to beat BC

Up 5-3 with about a minute left

 

[mac2351]

UConn is going to be 7th in Hockey East after tonight but they and Lowell have also played the most conference games

100%. UML makes teams play the ugliest form of hockey and UConn doesn’t have the jets to break their trap and thuggish play but took advantage of those little mistakes and turnovers (and a little help from the ref and post) plus outstanding goaltending by Haider to match them and win.

I thought Coach Cav’s timeout after an icing with 3:20 to go was a great move. Apparently TO’s are still awarded after an icing in Cawlidge Hawkey, though not in the NHL.

I have a question. I didn’t think line changes were allowed after an icing, even after a TO, but Cavs did just that. The Fraser Tattle Muldowney line was on the ice, but the top line of Schandor Bradley Wood took the face off. Did Cavs pull one over the refs and Norm or is this allowed?

I just confirmed this on the ESPN+ feed .

Thank you for the note and clarification @Bomber36 . That decision to take the TO is even better considerIng the moment and ability to take tires 4th liners out and replace them with the top line. Kudos to the coaching staff for awareness there.

Now I consider the Fraser, Tattle, Muldowney line the 3rd line. Starting with the first BC game they have been very solid.

Cav needs to do something with the Mahshie, Capone, Heaslip line. He has to try to get production out of one of those guys to create another goal scoring option.

How did Mahshie miss the net from point blank while being all alone? He has struggled mightily.

I think when Veuilleux comes back he could help that line
