I’ll admit I thought it was this evening. But given they were home last eve that bus ride and game aren’t feasible. Just so used to Saturday evening games didn’t give it a second thought

Look out for the Nadeau brothers, Bradly and Josh. Both are freshmen and leading Maine in goals and scoring.

Bradly is a NHL first round pick last season by Carolina. Both had at least 110 points in the BCHL last season.

If UConn can somehow win this game, they will finish the first half at least 4th in Hockey East and could finish tied for 3rd with Providence.

However, UConn has played more games than the current top 6 teams.

They show Pascucci as not dressed and as playing and no Simpson anywhere. someone goofed.

 

[mac2351]

I wonder why he keeps switching Simpson and Pascucci. To me, Simpson is much better, more consistent, and can get pucks to the net.

This game is a definite measuring stick for which direction our season is heading going forward. Go Huskies!

Good stuff from Haider early on.

He’s a very solid goaltender. Hopefully he returns next season

Monstrous goaltending by Ethan! Not sure who the Josh I was referring to is.
