Going to my first UConn hockey game since about 1984, when several of us went from our dorm to Freitas open air to see someone from our floor play. Quite an upgrade, even if it's XL.
Go Huskies.

UConn up 2-0 on goals by Letunov (power play) and Austin in the middle of the 1st period.

3-0 Huskies to finish the 1st! Why can’t we play like this all the time?

 

[ct06111]

Goal by Schwartz. Nice to be UP 3-0 again. Great 1st period.

It seems the stars have to be perfectly aligned for UConn to play like this. Enjoy it while you can.

Northeastern power play goal makes it 3-1 UConn late in the 2nd period.

Great WIN! 1-8 now suckers!!!

41-12 for goals over 9 games now

1st time UConn has won 3 in a row since 2016 12/9 - 12/31 (2 of those games were DHC trophy wins)

Last year, we had high hopes after that tourney and those wins.

Let's keep it going @ UMass on Friday. Road trip and stop over at OG wings over.


Great ranked win. 1st of the year

Gotta get better. Sucks QU game is on a tuesday. I picked up sweet 4x/$20 BU deal. That's gotta be full and the feb. BC game on Friday is gotta sell out.

Moved up a spot. Now in 6th with 9 points.

Crowd was small but into it. Going up 3 goals after 1 helps.
Outshot, but made the most of their opportunities. That Huska is A good one. It won't be 30+ years between games ongoing. Good time, disciplined squad.

Pratt intentionally threw his stick away from his hands in the direction of the puck and it redirected/"went off his stick".

If he didn't do that, huska woulda had a shut-out.

Says tonight was UConn's 13th win over a ranked team under Coach Cav. Have now beaten every HE team. 4th game in a row and 5 out of the last 6 to allow only 1 goal.

Great game, horrible attendance. Where have all the fans gone???????

Some clown was going around advertising that Keith Primeau himself was gong to be there. Just because the guy's son is playing on the opposing team does NOT automatically mean he's going to be there himself.

Go Huskies.

Just to be nit-picky, the Eero Saarinen designed roof was never called Freitas. Alum Freitas gave the money to build the current on-campus building, although the ice I believe is still from the old barn with new boards.

Reminds me when Robbie Ftorek was coaching the Albany River Rats at the time his son was playing for St. Anselm. They came down to play under the old roof and Robbie sat right next to me with his family. Talked to him about hockey all game long. Really nice guy.
