How much trouble can you get into in Hamden?

Don't you mean Schenectady? Or did these players take a wrong turn on their way to take a swim in Yale's pool?

Uh oh.  I did mean Hamden, because for whatever reason (senility) I read "Union" and thought "Quinnipiac."  And so it begins.

You CAN get in trouble in Schenectady, but you won't have any problems with the police.  They all have troubles of their own in the Schenectady PD.

SLU scored 9 goals in the last 2 periods at Niagara last night.

On 22 shots.

Woody Hudson (you remember him) gets a goal and an assist.

Interesting result last night from Bridgeport, where Quinnipiac outshot UConn 37-19, but lost, 4-1. UConn also blocked 25 shots. "Certainly when shots attempted are 85-30, you expect to win," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said.

More to it than that, the Q defense has been terrible for their four games, and their goaltending has a SV% of 0.810.  Good analysis (from before the UConn game) here: http://blog.collegehockeynews.com/2014/10/three-things-i-think-ecac-week-2-2/

And the move to Hockey East has the UConn booster community suddenly aware that they have a hockey team. You'd think they just went D1. One person I know was breathlessly live-tweeting their 1st league game, in which they blew a late lead vs. Merrimack (a team they beat two seasons ago), and then during last night's game was predicting a Frozen Four appearance "within 7 years." ::screwy:: I see them being more like UMass in a few years, but many think they'll get BC-level success.

The Hartford Courant now has more reporters covering UConn Hockey (2) than they do the AHL affiliate in town (zero). And I feel a little sorry for the students in Storrs that they are playing a total of zero games on-campus this season.  Remember when Lynah was being renovated and the home games were played in Elmira for a month or two? That's UConn for the whole season. (and football, and half of their men's & women's basketball games). No word of any plans for an on-campus facility to replace their bad one, yet. I would think that if they are considering a replacement for Gampel (on-campus basketball arena) they would do what Ohio St. did and make it multipurpose.

I'm not sure I ever saw more than ten UConn students at any of the (hockey) games I attended in Storrs with the exception of the one time their band showed up so it's not as if there's a huge student following being displaced. Selfishly, I was pleasantly surprised to see the slate of games in Bridgeport this season. I'm guessing tickets have gone up from the $3-5 range they charged in Storrs.

No.  When was that?

You could say that.  The ticket prices for the BC game are $90-107.

For some reason, my PMP-addled memory thought they actually played the exhibitions there. Turns out the construction came in ahead of schedule, but there was a contingency plan in place, as documented by us:

How about $17 for adult and $12 for youth.

That does seem more reasonable.
