Saw my first UConn game of the season tonight. I was actually impressed with their speed. It was pretty obvious that they were out to solve their recent scoring woes. I counted all three forwards down low beneath the goal line on multiple occasions. And on more than a couple occasions they gave up odd man rushes as a result. But their seven goals must have felt good. Think they will have to play a bit more conservatively against Mankato tomorrow though. MN State looked pretty good tonight. Their first game on NHL sized ice in awhile according to a parent who sat next to us. He thought they were taking some time to adjust.
Left after the second period with the game well in hand. It was dumping outside, a skier's dream. Awfully slippery greasy snow which required much care on the drive home. Wish I was a couple more weeks down the road from the rotator cuff. I would be skiing tomorrow. Hanging out in a hockey rink is a close second though.
On another topic, I did hear that Coach Marshall is not back. No ETA yet either. He is in our thoughts this coming New Year. Get well soon, Bruce!!
