WHUS is carrying the game as well.

Maine score less than 2 minutes into the game to make it 1-0.

Freshman Corson Green scores his first career goal for UConn to quickly tie it up.

Sometimes you just need to wait for goal scoring confirmation when you're listening to the game. Anyway, Green's 2nd assist, and Kondelik's 6th assist of the season.

El-Mir!!! 2-1

Nice to to hear the new lighting system not ruin a great rendition of the national anthem for once.

Looks and hears like new LED lighting on the ceiling and aisles.

I can watch 4th division soccer from England whenever I want but Hockey East is 50 years in the past.

Watched the U18 Developmental Team at Harvard. Potential #1 overall NHL prospect on the team, he didn't score and they still mauled Harvard. It was quite a spectacle. College hockey talent is not far off from professional talent.

End of second period, UConn still up 2-1.

That would be Jack Hughes..that kid can play..his older brother Quinn can too!

UConn having problems on the power play tonight, but they make up for it with an El-Mir short handed goal early in the 3rd period to make it 3-1.

 

[dbmill]

Maine quickly scores to make it 3-2.

Woot... woot!

Turnbull 4-2

Freshman scoring, something the team needs.

 

[huskymedic]

Freeman makes it 5-2 w/ PP goal.

 

[dbmill]

Game over, UConn wins 5-2.

The overall talent on the U18 team is stunning.

If ever there was a product for ESPN+

 

[Guapo]

Man, does it ever feel good to get to a point with this program where a Hockey East game seems like a sure fire win

 

[cheech63]

Great win tonight, but two concerning areas that need to improve. One is the lack of face offs won tonight, and two is the lack of scoring on the power play. I believe they were something like 1 of 7.

My take on watching my first game this year in person:
This team can compete on a nightly basis if the freshmen skate hard, the talent level has definitely improved to a level where they can expect to win on any given night in HE, PK was outstanding, PP is AWFUL and needs to be figured out quickly, Iskhakov needs to keep his head up going east and west or he will get hit again like he did in the QU game, crowd was light to me..especially for a Fri night, Maine is definitely a better team than they have been the past few years. A good win that they need to duplicate again today.
