UConn had 29 shots on Union goalie Kyle Chauvette  in the first period today, and did not score.

Final was 5-0 UConn, with 66 shots.

Woof, we had an EZAC night:

UConn 5 at Union 0
RPI 2 at #10 Providence 4
#4 Quinnipiac 4 at UNH 5
Lowell 5 at Colgate 2

Unhelpful.

At least our OOC opponents have done very well so far and should help our SOS.

This appears to be the latest owner of the hotel on the steep hill (Saranac Ave) perpendicular to the main street in Lake Placid, just opposite Black Bear (at the far end of the drag from the rink).  If it's the one I am thinking of, it has gone through several iterations over the last 30 years.

I noticed on C HN and USCHO there has been almost no discussion of ECAC at all.

I did see a story on Dart,  but no previews

Here are the CHN capsule previews. They pick Cornell to finish second.

And the Cornell preview contains some fantastic writing. ::wtf::

Weakness: Experience. Although is not unlike most other college hockey teams.

The last sentence there sound like someone asked ChatGPT to talk like a caveman.

The Bluebird Lake Placid is the former Lake Placid Summit Hotel. It is on Main Street in Lake Placid, across the street from the HIgh Peaks Resort (Hilton in the Miracle on Ice Era). The facility feels as if it's been under renovation for 2 years. I believe, not sure, how much the exterior has been spiffed up because it previously had a motel feel. The hotel is at the opposite end of the main part of Main Street in LP, a 7-10 minute walk from the rinks.

The other renewed hotel to check out is the Grand Adirondack Hotel, also on Main Street, 3-4 minutes from the rink. It was a grand, a little aging, facility before as the Northwoods Inn. There was a disconnect between the raucous bar on the main floor and the rooms upstairs.

In flux is Airbnb-type short-term-rental lodging. LP like other resort towns believes if you renovate a house or half a house so it rents for $500 a night, it takes lodging away from hotel servers and bartenders, and ski resort workers who'd have trouble scaring up $500 a month for a shared bedroom. In downtown LP, there have been complaints about raucous lodgers in unhosted (no owner or manager on-site) facilities.

Resort towns exist by monetizing alcoholism and sexual assault.  I'm not sure what they expected.

Jeez, the SLU color guy is a major homer.

And now time for a pointless shootout, as they tie 2-2 with MTU.

Nice to see Q and Clarkson lose in OT, and Harvard tie lowly Dartmouth.

[Trotsky]

The Harvard-Dartmouth shootout was hilarious.
