UConn vs. UNH -- 2/24 @ Whittemore Center 7p- & 2/25 @ XL Center 7:30p

Maine just lost in OT to Northeastern but the chances they beat NU 2x were slim to none anyways. Hopefully by puck drop tmrw night UVM is beating Merrimack.
 
The Hartford Courant been a complete abomination when it comes to the respect it's given UConn hockey. You have to be a private investigator to find coverage of last night's game, a few sentences tucked away very quietly within a round up section on page 5.
Tonight, 5000-6000 people will likely show up to the game but with the Courant's history, I'll bet they'd put more heft on a high school hoops game attended by 100 people or less.
Amazing.

Merrimack leads Vermont 3-2 with about 5 minutes left.

Maine leads Northeastern 5-4 with about 10 minutes left.

Bad news for UConn. If scores hold, UConn plays Northeastern on the road.

Merrimack wins.

Better hope for a Northeastern goal in the last 3 minutes.
 
Northeastern loses.

It would be better for UConn to lose this game.
 
That last 30 second tie against MC at home cost us home ice. Win that game, and #icebus would be parked at home.

Yep, can pretty much boil everything down to that game. We shot ourselves in the foot.
 
Tonight was fun. It's the team that disappeared for a while. Welcome back! Hopefully this continues into next weekend.

Disagree completely - after a 2-7-2 start to 2017, a weekend sweep was just what we needed. The kids played with a sense of urgency and grit in both games. They can beat anybody, let alone NE, if they bring that style to the playoffs.

Decent story today, but buried on page 6. College hockey does get their attention, though. Did you see the big splash on page 1 with photo for QU v. Yale yesterday? You are spot on regarding coverage - about UConn hockey. But remember, this is the paper that gave that hack, Dez Conner, a barrel of ink and a ton of paper to write a puff piece about Syracuse.
