To say the least, it was a frustrating weekend on so many levels.
Let's start with the obvious - the one-and-done 3-1 loss to Delaware on Saturday afternoon. The game result speaks for itself - especially since our technical problems with the webcast didn't allow me to record the game.
But - unless you're a Blue Hens fan, you probably don't want to see anything from the one-sided affair.
Needless to say, the performance by the Icers has raised concerns with less than two weeks until they open the National Tournament against Rhode Island.
Congrats to Joe Augustine and the Rams for their come-from-behind win over Delaware in today's championship game on their home ice.
Kyle Rossi has the details of the game on his Thank You Terry blog.
Three Icers captured conference honors. Tim O'Brien was named first-team all-ESCHL, while George Saad was named winner of the ESCHL Sportsmanship Award. Goaltender Mathew Madrazo was named as a member of the second all-tournament team for his outstanding play on Saturday.
Our technical glitches added to the frustration for you all, I'm sure. Despite a hard-wired connection to the internet at the Boss Arena (thanks to arena manager Tracy Piacente and her staff) the video stream wasn't the best quality and we lost the audio on my interview with Tim O'Brien.
It must be something about Rhode Island and the internet that bedevils us. The wifi at our hotel even caused me fits - cutting out every minute or two - so much so that I gave up trying to post a blog last night and waited until we got home tonight.
The weather was bizarre - from 60-plus degrees when we arrived in Rhody on Friday to gale-force winds on Saturday and temperatures in the teens when we left this morning.
Fortunately, the drive home was under sunny skies, but we were held up by two different accidents involving semis - one in New Jersey and the second on I-80 in the Poconos. Hopefully, the drivers of both vehicles survived a couple of nasty wrecks.

Good to hear you got back safely, just an awful weekend all around - time to bury this one, beat up on Rutgers and get ready for the big show!
