Bobo, another name from the past on here. They were all so jealous of what we had up here and so hated S.W.
And you, sir, was a fixture at your SRO post pre VIP box days.........

Technically the NBA game was canceled minutes before tip but yes, I would expect some official word any time now.
The Australian Grand Prix is still scheduled but one of the teams backed out this morning when one of them tested positive for the virus. I'd expect that to be canceled as well.
Hope you have Netflix or Disney+ because live sports, music and movies are done for the foreseeable future.

A true indication the team is actually relevant this year. Too bad it will all probably go for nothing in the end.

My worry is that the window make a run seems short, especially if Swayman does indeed leave.
Hard to expect Theissen or someone else to fill those immense skates next season.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October
Yes there is no way to that any player can come in and be "Swayman", but at the same time that's what's great about college hockey...every season players leave and come in...teams build on seasons and teams rebuild/reboot...but I have faith that Theissen and with incoming goaltender Victor Ostman can at least give the Black Bear faithful hope for next season and on...will there be bumps...I would bet on it...but then THAT's Hockey..! The task at hand now is this season and what happens in the sports world of Covid-19....I would assume they play the games this weekend without fans in attendance. Sadly would be nice to watch the team at the rink but that's life....we can all feel somewhat better that this team has surprised most to all of us...would be nice to see a series win for Maine...but then if not, this season has been better then expected. Myself it was a pleasure to watch Swayman this season and the two seasons before...he did his job on the ice and for the team...I strongly think he should be in the running for Hockey East Player of the Year.

Looking at the HE tourney schedule page, as of now it looks like only a possible 3rd game would be televised.(NESN+) Do I read that right? If they do go the no fans allowed route at the Alfond, lets hope local Fox does a TV broadcast.

Have to drive subscriptions.
Thought the league was making the stream free when fans are barred. Thought i read that in the lowell amherst release
I read that as well, that Hockey East is working to get the stream out from behind the paywall for games with no fans allowed. Has anyone heard any attendance news from UMaine? Sounds like as of now the game is still on as planned.
Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October
Hearing from pretty good sources that this weekend's games at the Alfond will be played without spectators. Expecting a press release later today to make it official.

That's a pleasant surprise.
The Women's Basketball Team sent a message that their game is on but the press release makes no mention of the virus or the elimination of the crowd. It also contradicts itself by saying you can watch Friday's game on ESPNU if you can't make it to the game on Sunday. Go figure.

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.
