I haven't been this excited for a playoff game played in this arena since 1992 - Game 6. For those of you too young to remember, Yvon Corriveau tapped in a game winner in OT to force Game 7 against Montreal. The Whale, of course, went on to lose on a backbreaking Russ Courtnall softie in Game 7 2OT. That kids, was the last time a playoff hockey game that Dooley is/was 100% invested in was played on our ice.

I was there.
 
I was there (game 6) and I recall it being the loudest crowd I have ever been a part. Montreal players were even commenting on it after the game. Saw Chris Berman at the end of reg and he said he had chills, for whatever that is worth.
 
I don't feel like scrolling through four pages so maybe this has been addressed, but are the teams re-seeded after the first round? ie, we are eighth and if we win, no matter the other series' outcomes, we would play BCU next?

Or if someone else springs an upset and we also win, therefore we wouldn't be the lowest seed in the next round, does that team get BCU and we get Provy?

So the winner of the UCONN - Vermont Series would automatically play at BC regardless of how the other games play out this weekend? If that holds true I like that as long as UCONN would not have to play PC or ND because they did not match up well against both those teams during the regular season. UCONN will sweep VT this weekend.

No, Hockey East reseeds. If all top seeds win, UConn goes to BC. As it stands, UNH (10 seed) is up 1-0 on MC and if they win, UConn cannot under any circumstances play BC, and would then likely end up at Providence as UMass and Maine are highly unlikely to pull off upsets. I would bet on UNH winning one of the next two at MC, so the odds of UConn playing at BC if they win probably aren't that good.

But the key is the conference reseeds after every round, including QFs going into semis.
Edit: missed FDNY's post above.

Okay thank you.

Really good first period...a lot of odd man rushes. Thought they started a bit tight/sloppy but cleaned it up pretty well.

Defense defense defense
Recruit the hell out of sound fundamental defenseman

And tell the forwards to get the puck out of the zone and stop being so cute with it

Honestly there must have been 30 40 or 50 awful turnover in our end as usual. Every friggin game
 
Get the puck up the boards. Not kind of up the boards where it gets picked off every time by average defnseman

They did not call 4 clear penalties on VT they were brutal but the refs aren't the one"s who are suppose to put the puck in the net. UCONN"s inability to consistently score on 5 on 5 had has hurt them all year. Hopefully UCONN comes out tonight with some urgency early in the game and pushes this series to game 3.

I read earlier how Masonius was a turnover machine on defense and whoever wrote that was 100 % correct. After his 7-8th turnover in his own zone I could see Coach Cav through the glass blasting the kid which was a little too late. The kid does an okay job on the PP but after that he plays a very inmature, casual, selfish game.
