      Free All Access streaming says the Maine press release. Hmmm.
      $90(more) for a drink holding ledge and a Maine blanket, but the views still great.
      Just win.....

        It's official. It's going to be pretty weird watching a playoff hockey game in Alfond Arena with no fans in attendance.

          Won't it. Will be odd for the players too, suppose it will have the feel like it's not a real game.
          Not to maines advantage, CT might just be too talented and coached.

            Yes, not good for Maine's chances to advance to whatever there is left to advance to. Needed the fan support to push them to a series win, I don't believe Red can do that on his own...........

                ORONO, Maine – Following the University of Maine System's decision to transition to remote instruction for classes on all campuses for the remainder of the spring semester, effective March 23, UMaine Athletics has announced that it will play its Hockey East Championship Quarterfinals at Alfond Arena with only essential staff and limited family attendance.

                This decision, made in conjunction with Hockey East and other member institutions, was made in an effort to continue to focus on limiting the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and protect our community.

                "Hockey East has followed guidance issued by the NCAA and national health officials to make the difficult decision to play this weekend's hockey quarterfinals without spectators," UMaine Director of Athletics Ken Ralph said. "We support the league's position and appreciate their leadership in the face of this public health crisis. I am heartsick for our players and fans who have waited eight years for a quarterfinal series to return to the Alfond. This is a clear case where common sense must overrule our hearts."

                Fans will have the opportunity to stream the UMaine quarterfinals, free of charge, through the CBS Sports Digital platform or listen to the radio broadcast on the Black Bear Sports Network (103.9 FM, 101.3 FM, 95.1 FM, 1450 AM, 1310 AM) or via online audio stream at GoBlackBears.com.

                          That is one brief press release.

                          WAKEFIELD, Mass. - The Hockey East Association announced Thursday that the 2020 Hockey East Men’s Tournament will not
                          be played due to concerns over the COVID-19 health situation.

                            And now either the off season begins, or will there be a NCAA Tourney..? I would assume NO.

                              Finalists for Hockey East awards announced:

                              The league's top players in contention for the Hockey East Player of the Year include Providence sophomore forward Jack Dugan (Rochester, N.Y.), Massachusetts junior forward John Leonard (Amherst, Mass.), and Maine junior goaltender Jeremy Swayman (Anchorage, Alaska.)

                              Dugan led the NCAA in scoring for nearly the entire season and currently claims a national-best 42 assists, 52 points, 1.24 assist per game, 1.53 points per game, 19 power-play assists and 22 power-play points. In league play alone, Dugan racked up seven goals and a conference-best 28 assists and 35 points. Dugan set up four game-winning goals, including three in league play. The sophomore had 17 multi-point games, including a stretch of seven in a row with at least two points. He created four point streaks of four games or more, including a seven-game run where he potted two goals and dished out 17 assists.

                              Leonard has scored more goals than any other player in the NCAA this year as the junior forward has found the back of the net 27 times, including 21 goals in Hockey East play. Leonard has exploded during his recent six-game point streak, scoring 10 goals and adding five assists for 15 points. During that span, the Amherst, Massachusetts native took over games, scoring three game-winning goals, two hat tricks, three multi-goal games, and two four-point outings. His five game-winning goals were the most in Hockey East play this season while he committed just two penalties in 23 league outings.

                              Swayman looks to become the first Maine goaltender to win Hockey East's top individual honor and the first Black Bear to be so named since Spencer Abbot in 2011-12. During the Hockey East regular season, Swayman led the league in saves (782), save percentage (.932) and tied for the lead in shut outs (3) while his 12 wins in Hockey East tied for second. The junior's 782 saves in conference action is the 10th-most of any goaltender in league history and the highest single-season total since 2010-11. Overall, Swayman carries a record of 18-11-5 and leads the NCAA in saves with 1,099 stops.
                              Finalists for the Bob Kullen Award as Bauer Hockey East Coach of the Year include UConn's Mike Cavanaugh, Maine's Red Gendron, and Boston College's Jerry York.

                              Cavanaugh coached UConn to a fifth-place finish in the Hockey East standings, tying the program's best finish with a 12-10-2 record in league play. The 12 wins are the highest total for the Huskies since they joined Hockey East in 2014-15. Cavanaugh led his team to an 8-1-0 stretch in Hockey East play from Jan. 15 - Feb. 28 to secure the fifth seed in the Hockey East Tournament. UConn had the second-best scoring offense in 2019-20, scoring 2.96 goals per game. The Huskies also accrued the fewest penalty minutes of any team in the league, averaging just 9.5 penalty minutes per game.

                              Gendron guided the Black Bears to their best Hockey East regular season finish since the 2011-12 season, claiming the fourth seed in the Hockey East Tournament with a 12-9-3 record in league play, and a 18-11-5 mark overall, across a 2019-20 season that will go down as one of the most competitive in Hockey East history. His team also boasted a 13-1-3 mark at home in Alfond Arena. Gendron coached a squad that had the third-stingiest team defense in Hockey East play in 2019-20, allowing just 2.33 goals per game.

                              York looks to claim his fifth Bob Kullen Award after leading his Eagles to a 17-6-1 mark in Hockey East play and the 17th regular season crown in program history. The 2017-18 Bauer Hockey East Coach of the Year has collected an overall record of 24-8-2, his 20th season of at least 20 wins during his 26-season tenure at Boston College. The Eagles boasted the league's best offense with 3.88 goals per game and the best defense, allowing just 2.00 goals per game. A year after potting just 62 goals, no team had more than York's squad's 93 tallies.

                                We are grinding to a halt in everything that we call every day life. At least I can watch em plunk balls into the water on the 17th at TPC Sawgrass with no gallery.
