Providence ties it at 1-1 at 8:34...Erik Foley puts home his own rebound

too juicy of a rebound for Nichols to stop. It plagued him last year too. Gotta work on reining in those rebounds

 

[ct06111]

Spencer!!! 2-1

Sigh...

Nichols has been amazing. Blocked 37 shots and not even start of 3rd. Will probably have 50+ by the end...

 

[ct06111]

Tied up. 3-3

 

[huskymedic]

C'mon D - dig in!

 

[ct06111]

I hate #13 even more now. Lucky Nichols saved it

But then Pratt give up high sticking penalty and Providence immediately scores.

Had to run into the hottest team in the country this week. Ugh!!!

I called it...I had a feeling Pratt was gonna get a penalty. He was getting heated with a providence player right before the penalty. Kid can't control his emotions on the ice

We just aren't deep enough to play without two guys like Letunov and El-Mir. Thank god its just illness and not an injury, I'd assume their 100% next weekend

Nichols should be #1. I hate to sound like pal but he is just a more sound goalie.

I like Robbie but not even close. Gives up too many soft goals inopportunely but he definitely can stand on his head and win games by himself when locked in.

Wrong.

 

[RSTuthill]

Nichols can be unbelievably good and sometimes he can be barely acceptable. Kinda like most goalies at this level. Good to have two goalies that the staff can go to though.

Huska let's in easy ones too. I'd also say
A. He takes too many chances getting out of position
B. He is very weak guarding the left post
C. I have seen him be very average and never outstanding. Granted he is a freshman and will improve we hope.

I do argued with Dick that it is good to have multiple solid guys.

C. I have seen him be very average and never outstanding.

Then you haven't been watching many of his games for UConn or in the WJC. Outstanding would be a MAJORITY of his outings.

His debut at RIT in front of a giant crowd.
The game at BU where he was peppered and got a shutout.
The win at Notre Dame.
Both games against Lowell.
Home win over Vermont.
