Out of Town Scores: Game 2

[Rita]

In the 2nd period, UCONN goes up 3-2 on a ppg by Chris Uber.

The UCONN band is playing "Brass Bonanza" when the huskies come on the ice and after goals. That tune should *only* be played in reference to the deceased New England/Hartford Whalers (no, I do not recognize the Carolina Hurricanes as the "former Hartford Whalers").
According to the announcers, the UCONN band only shows up at hockey games once a year, so I guess they really don't have much "hockey music".

They play it at UConn hoops games too...

Oh dear. I must have missed that because I was sooo incensed that the UCONN band was playing "Sweet Caroline" in last week's Villanova game. I have only been tuning in to  UCONN hoops the past few weeks. Unfortunately, it isn't something I have time to track regularly.

3-2 Q.

As a long lost Whalers fan, I have to say, if any team wants to take on brass bonanza as the banner of Connecticut hockey, I can't object to it being UConn.

4-0 Clarkson after 2.

At the end of 2 periods, UCONN-Sacred Heart tied at 3.

Clarkson is who we want in my opinion.  This is the playoffs and the more battles the better.  I would rather see a team that they are going to have to be at the top of their game for the entire weekend.  Cornell has played their best hockey this season playing against tough teams and rarely did they decisively beat the lower tier teams.

Finals:

Qpc 4 RPI 2

Yal-UC 1-1 in third

[Josh '99]

Brown wins 3-2 and lives to fight another day.

Quinnipiac wins 4-2 and sweeps their first ECAC playoff series.

Clarkson ends Princeton's season 5-0.

Yale and Union tied at 2 with a few minutes left in the 3rd.

Union and Yale going to OT... again. Union's 5th straight playoff game that has gone to OT apparently.

UCONN defeats Sacred Heart 4-3. I'm glad Chris Uber got a goal and had a good game tonight.  UCONN is waiting for results from other games and will be seeded somewhere between 6-8 in the AHA playoffs. Sacred Heart has a chance of finishing first, depending on what Holy Cross does. IIRC, the AHA quarterfinals are just one game and not the best of 3.

Also, I was surprised to hear that the UCONN men's hockey team does NOT give out athletic scholarships. The women's hockey team does, but that is probably to be Title IX compliant. UCONN recently brought their football team to D-1A so I wonder what other men's athletic teams also had scholarships reduced or eliminated.

Yup, all three against Clarkson went to OT last year.  I was actually at those games and it was a really great series.
