Roster pressured
Uconn who played short on defense most of the game as they lost one of their 6 defenseman, NHL draft pick Ryan Segalla,
early in the game on a 5 minute major and a game misconduct.
The NBC Sports TV crew gave Uconn accolades as one of the top bluebood AD's in the country and mentioned the
drawing power of Uconn sports and some of the same points as the article below:
A Hockey East doormat? In its first season, Uconn has proved to be anything but
"Just look at Saturday," HC Mike Cavanaugh says. "Our basketball team plays a game at 11 a.m. and there are 15,000
people there, at 11 a.m., to watch a basketball game in Hartford. The Patriots are on TV at 4:30. The hockey team is playing
at 7, and there's 7,000 people there for a hockey game."
"The support of the state is just phenomenal. UConn is [like] a pro team in Connecticut. That's how you're looked at by the
fanbase here. It's been spectacular that we've been able to generate this much excitement."
