All Hockey East games are streaming free all "season".

CHN lists both games on NESN+ at 7 pm.

CHN lists BC-Yukon today on NESN at 6 pm.

Very much looking forward to it, if EHA can't sneak a reporter into the building instead. :-)

HERE WE GO 'CATTTSSSSSSS! HR is very excited for puck drop! Both teams taking the ice to compete for real for the first time this season...Betting MR gets the start tonight but TTay tomorrow night? Prediction: UNH2 UMaine 1.

[Drew S.]

UNH will be the home team(last change) and both are league games. It sounds like the non-conference/exhibition games aren’t going to happen anymore.

[Ray Dorn]

Lets hope the Bears and Cats are able to get two games in this weekend. It is hard to believe it is December 11 with UNH not playing a single game so far. I predict it will be a close, high scoring game tonight.

I'll only believe that there will be game tonight once I see the puck drop from the ref's hand. (insert smiley)

UNH will be the home team(last change).

But will they? The game was originally scheduled as a Maine home game. Just because the location is now in Durham doesn't necessarily make them the "home team". It will be interesting to see how it is handled. Just another example of how strange a season this year will be.

Red said last night UNH would be the home team.

"Although the Wildcats aren't expected to be at full-strength Friday night..."

As in hitting on all cylinders? Or should we expect injuries when lines are announced...?

* Robinson and Foreman are the only goalies listed as dressed - so Robinson gets the opening night start...
* Newcomers dressed: Semandel (D), Jenson (D), Cafarelli (F), Richels (F), Reid (D)...
* Verrier, Erikkson and Maass also dressed on defense, so NO MacKinnon...
* 13 forwards, no Ward (transfer eligibility) and no Engaras...

--> Taylor, MacKinnon, Engaras and Ward do not dress. Pretty significant.

So Semandel is immediately eligible as a transfer, but Ward isn't. I'll never understand NCAA rules.

That's a good point - I wonder if Semandel was released by LSSU and Ward was not given the same courtesy by Denver...

Cats kiilin' it on SOG (13-2) in first period of play, but nothing to show for it on the almighty scoreboard.

Some good closeups of cardboard cut outs, so I guess that I had better get my money and photo into the mail. :-)
