Holy Trinity: Hartford pregame

Managed to find Trinity College, on the other side of Hartford from where we usually hang out. Nice little rink here, the Koeppel Community Sports Center. See if we can find our way out of town in the dark.

Somewhat implausibly, I got all four lines right this morning, including left wing/right wing. It wasn’t really unlikely, considering that three lines had one winger who’s a righty shot, but then you get into who likes to play their off wing, and… you know, let’s leave it at implausible. I’ll take my rare wins when they come. Because, watching from the other end, I am pretty sure I messed up the Wolf Pack’s lines. So I’m already 1-1. Anyway. One to scratch for the Wolf Pack.

Hartzell’s in 30 though he’s No. 1 on the roster.

The Wolf Pack got another slew of players from the Rangers this afternoon, so with a 42-man Hartford roster, this may be the last stand for some of the tryouts, like West Haven’s Mike Pereira.
