Please remember the rule I always break at least once by accident: do not amend the thread title with the score for 24 hours, to allow people who are recording for later to watch unspoiledly.  Though why they are posting here in the interim is anybody's guess.

The last time we played Sacred Heart was in January of 2025. We played back-to-back nights in Fairfield. We tied the first game 1-1 and then won in a shootout. The next night we lost 4-2. My recollection is that we played poorly both nights. I also remember how loud the noise level was in Sacred Heart's relatively new arena, and that the pep band hardly got to play during Friday's game but was able to play more frequently during the Saturday game.
Hopefully, we can play much better against Sacred Heart this weekend.

This wasn't the 7F, 8D roster, right?

I recall one play during the Loss that was poignant as we fell into a slump coming out of the holidays...Castanga had a break away, created by his speed alone, and went between his legs for a Top 10 Sportscenter highlight...it didn't end well at all and we were trailing or tied at the time. He was rightfully judged by his teammates and I'm sure, ripped by his head coach. Both night were pretty ugly and the 2, 2+  hour round trips were rough.

First Lynah Dinner™ of the season!

Lot of new things on the concessions menu. Was delighted to see "Chicken Speedie". Has not stood next to a real chicken spiedie, but delicious nevertheless.

Worst non-intercession crowd I have ever seen in my life

Honestly worse than pretty much all intercession crowds as well

Overhead lighting is so much better!
