What a weird game. I thought we were really good, just couldn't finish. Dominated Yale, as well we should with the massive talent differential between teams. We just look like a team that's lost its confidence. Bouncing pucks, passes just off line ... we just need something good to happen out there. Hopefully winning this game was the break they needed to break out of the funk.
I love this event, but I hate it at XL Center. Maybe in a few years as it gets bigger it'll work there, but this thing works so much better in a rocking sold-out barn. Even if there were 5,000 people there tonight, it just feels cavernous. The XL Center, obviously, has a rich hockey history so I understand why they want it there, but let's sell out Sacred Heart's arena, or Yale's rink, our arena, or even at UConn. All four rinks are perfectly sized for an event like this, and it'll feel like such a bigger game with the barn rocking and sold out. Hopefully when this event gets bigger in a few years it outgrows those rinks and we can move it back to XL, but it should really be at on-campus rinks.
