    On a different note, kudos to whoever is responsible for Merrimack's game highlight videos from Lawler. Turned around very quickly, consistently excellent, and John Leahy's game calls are terrific.
    A win or tie against PC would put a bow on the weekend.

      Okay, let's assume they were drained from the UConn win. 12 shots on net won't win you any games. Kovacevic -5, Hennig and Seney -4. Need your best players to be a heck of a lot better than that.

        Did anyone see the game? I didn't but the numbers look bad. Coach talking about getting outwork and outhit is worrying too. Not sure this team has the heart or killer instinct that the good merrimack teams of 2011 and 2012 had.
        Today we skate with 'em.

          Good chance to make up some ground (make up some ice?) on UConn. 3 points back of the Huskies, but 3 games in hand. Wouldn't surprise me at all if someone scores late to send it to OT. Seems to happen every time these guys play.

            Nicely done! Congrats to Pantano on the shutout (1st of his career?). Dominated the 1st two periods (outshot UConn 30-8 after 2) and kept the pedal down in the 3rd. Only 1 penalty. Good night all around; MC jumps UNH, they're now 1 point behind both Maine and UConn, and UMass and UVM tied so neither of them really gains any ground.

                Should be a good weekend, we'll probably get a good idea of who BU is and who MC is. Are players away for the olympics yet?

                  Well we know that no MC players are away! BU has been an enigma. Expectations were really high, but haven't happened. Terrier fan's patience with Quinn is begging to erode a bit (Scarlet, is that a fair statement?). He keeps getting the great recruits, but it is not translating as expected. Anyway, I think that Merrimack's team of AARP age players can get a split with those peach fuzz faced BU kids.

                      Ugh, three minutes at the end of the first really screwed us, plus the quick go ahead goal.. they came out on fire too.

                      Student section seemed pretty dead, what gives?

                        Maybe a little special teams practice this week? 0-7 on the powerplay and 2-4 on the penalty kill. Ugly.

                          • Looking forward to celebrating the 40th anniversary of Merrimack's National Championship in the 1st NCAA DII Hockey Tournament in 1978. '76-'77 (ECAC Champions with an outstanding win over UNION in the title game) and '77-'78 NCAA champs over Lake Forest IL. It was a couple of really great years in North Andover if you were a hockey fan!

                              I’ve heard the stories of the late 70’s teams, the fans, the rivalry with Lowell. Must have been heady times for sure! I’m a bit ashamed that those guys who came back had to watch the ludicrous display put on for them tonight.

                                Boy, what a disappointing effort. 11 shots through 2 periods, only 3 in the second (they must not like shooting at that end). Absolutely horrible defense on the 1st UVM goal. No one within 15 feet of Esposito. Someone (couldn't tell who) completely abandoned Esposito. Just awful. Beautiful pass to Colton on the breakaway.
                                Seney's goal was like so many he has scored this year, wrist shot from below the dot. Not sure how he finds the opening, but he does. Otherwise, very little offense.
                                If they get swept, at HOME against UVM.....
