UConn vs. #8 UMass (Fri. Feb. 28 @ 7:05 @ XL [on CW20] and Sat. Feb 29 @ 8p @ Mullins [on NESN])

Special group. Everything broke against them for 2.5 months and they didn't quit. They ALMOST did, but they didn't. They kept at it and they're reaping the rewards. Credit to Cav for keeping them bought in even when the bank was outta cash.

Well said. I’m so proud of this team!

Tyler Helton walks by me every game in section 106. I always leave him alone. Today as he sprinted by after the game, I gave him a wack on the shoulder and said “wow, that was amazing.“ he smiled and said “Yeah, that was special!” Best smile I ever exchanged with a coach.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

By far and away their best game all year. The forechecking, puck support and winning the small battles was there all night. I said to the group I was with when UCONN was down 2-1 late that the better team might now win tonight. BANG...BANG...a UCONN win!

It’s funny, after UMass went up, I kept screaming to lindberg

LINDBERG, IT’S COMING
LINDBERG...
LINDBERG, YOU BETTER BE READY
YOU SCARED YET!



So pumped for tonight

 

[freescooter]

Wow. That was a great college hockey game. I thought the Huskies really played better and had so many scoring chances. But Lidberg is a very good goalie. But 2 weeks in a row to score that late. Wow! I was just saying we will heading for OT when bang! A win tonight would be huge.

Wishing I could make it tonight but hoping the ice bus makes a good presence and we hear some UCONN chants in Mullins center.

Is this the biggest win to date for the program? Most significant? Until tonight, that is.

IMO, 1st HE game against BC. Evan Richardson goal. 8,089 people still #1

Beating #1 UMass was last yr was huge, but didn’t really mean much.

This season, from the Jekyll n Hyde of a season from the BC wknd to the results after CT ICE, I don’t know if it’s the senior leadership or cav actually starting to coach, but this team is special. Some are saying COTY for cav? I think freeman and Newpower has more to do with it than coach cav

I agree with the 1-0 win over BC. I rank this one in a tie with the 17-18 win over BU. Down 5he whole game and looked out of it then came roaring back to win in OT. Similar energy to this one. As for who gets credit I have to think you need to give Cav credit but I think it doesn’t work without Freeman and Newpower providing senior leadership too.

I do wish we were better on both sides of the power play though.

I’d say the BC game in the HE premier is a no brainer for number one. After that one, the last two weeks are 2 and 3. A win tonight (or even a tie) makes this series #2 and the BU series #3.

 

[kingdobbs]

We probably won’t have a bigger win than the BC premier game until we make the Garden and/or the NCAAs.

[brasssbonanzaa]

Depending on how they finish and perform in the HET, Cav has a good case for HE COY. Don't remember when voting takes place.

 

[Stinger92860]

I’ll take 1 tonight but how sweet would it be for more. We are doomed!!!

 

[Bomber36]

Providence up 3-1 on Maine early in the 3rd. Also the rest of tonight’s matchups. Providence and UNH wins would be helpful. We still hold our destiny in our own hands.

 

[Bomber36]

Providence hangs on for a 3-2 win and Maine remains stuck at 25 points. Maine has one game remaining at home vs PC next Friday.

1-0 Umass

 

[Bomber36]

Quick 1-0 lead for UMass. Missed the goal due to an Ivy League hoop game that ran long. Thrilling.

Johnny Evans ties it up!
