I don't bother going to MSG except for the years when BU is playing Cornell. That being said, I'll be keeping my eye on this game and would like to see how the team does before Tuesday's game at Colgate. My biggest concern is whether or not the defense can play a clean game and not offer UNH a ton of scoring opportunities.
We're counting on that!!How's your PK?
I will be there! There will be 4 of us in section 119!
Do we have any sort of designated pregame spot for the UNH fans making the trek?
Haven't heard of anything but we are staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Midtown Manhattan/Penn Station which is a 5 min. walk to MSG...I would be happy to scope out the place and put a message up about getting together there as they have a bar/restaurant...we are meeting up with our seat mate there. Hope to be in the city no later than 3 or 4:00. If anyone else has any ideas or know of anything do post it here!!!

The "official" pre game spot from the UNH site is at the Green Room at Stout. Address is 133 W33rd Street. 6:00-7:30pm. It had a registration period to go but they will be allowing walk ins.
Man, our PP looks better on paper than it does on the ice.
Hope you've fully recovered from your cold!
Thanks for well wishes, dc. Wish that I could be at MSG.
UNH football game this afternoon will be tough act for hockey team to follow. Also, excellent 5-1 win by HEA UVM over ECAC Q this afternoon.
You guys have just witnessed history. That was Cornell's first successful penalty shot attempt since the 80's when Nieuwendyk took one.
I'm listening on the radio, so I'll see the penalty for myself later. It wouldn't surprise me though since ECAC officiating has been egregious for as long as I can remember.
Sorry if that was a little snappy, but wow - tough call.
Anyway, your goalie deserved a W tonight, no matter how you slice it.
