Still can't get over the Beauts goaltending. Best duo in the world, bar none.

Melissa Burgess @_MelissaBurgess -
So you got into women's hockey because of the Olympics and the #USWNT's winning gold? Good News! You can keep watching them in leagues like the @NWHL - @TheCWHL - @NCAAIceHockey. My guide to the #USWNT post-#PyeongChang - A Guide To Women's Hockey After the Olympics-Part I

The wait is over . . . after what seems like a LONG summer, the Beauts' 2018-19 campaign started with the first day of training camp last night at HARBORCENTER.

Day 1 of camp for me as well - have to make sure I know the right way to say these names front and back!

In preseason game #1 held at Colgate University, the Beauts defeated the Connecticut Whale by a score of 7-2.

Maddie Elia was on a mission in the first period today, scoring twice just minutes apart to stake the Beauts to a 2-goal lead after 20 minutes in their season opener against the Connecticut Whale. Hayley Scamurra added a pair of third-period tallies (including a beaut of an individual effort) to make the final score 4-0 to Buffalo. Nicole Hensley was solid in the crease, stopping all ten shots she faced.

Meanwhile, in MSP - the Minnesota Whitecaps made quite the statement with their first two games as members of the National Women's Hockey League: "Hello - and watch out for us!" Old friend Amanda Leveille stopped 40 of 41 Metropolitan shots on goal to backstop the 'Caps to 4-0 & 3-1 wins last night and tonight, respectively. Both games were played in front of sold-out crowds at TRIA Rink (seating 1,200 fans).

Upcoming NWHL action:

Saturday, October 13:

Connecticut at Buffalo - 1:30 PM, HARBORCENTER (all fans in attendance get a free Beauts schedule magnet)
Metropolitan at Boston - 7:30 PM, Warrior Ice Arena

Who else is going?
Home opener should be great!

7-0 Beauts crush the Whale. Awesome game. Great hockey. It’s nice to witness a Buffalo pro team dominate and win.

Said hello to Burg. As usual he did a fine job with everything.

Beauts playing an exhibition game against Cornell's women's hockey team on ESPN+ now if you have it: Buffalo Beauts vs. #7 Cornell (W Hockey)

 

[TheMistyStranger]

That game had so many tickytack penalties. Felt like the Beauts were shorthanded close to half the game

Nice to see ya, Zam! It was great to get back into the swing of things. Been a long time since I haven't had to play Shania Twain...

How two of the world's best goalies are thriving with the Beauts

It feels like FOREVER since we've been home, but the Beauts are home against the Connecticut Whale on Saturday! It's a 6 PM faceoff at HARBORCENTER.

Bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal - when we score, toss 'em!

Wonder if there's some sort of a scandal here.

Yea. Their record isn’t what it should be considering the stacked roster they have. Changes were made. Furthest thing from a scandal. Sometimes the basic straightforward boring answer is the answer

Stacked, eh?
