Haven’t seen any communications about them opening up the balcony for general public again so makes me think the students will be back.

Guess I was right after all. One (1) goal allowed over their last 240 minutes of play. Airtight elimination hockey.
"UNH Bus is heading to Maine this weekend". Pressure is all on your guys now. Sleep tight, skippy ...
At least there home and its playoff hockey...!
No pressure at all BigTimer

There is a player with that last name on UMass Amherst. What a crappy father to embarass his son like this. Feel bad for the kid. Maybe the guy was completely lit and did know what he was doing?

is filling his stein.
Guy seems otherwise put together, owning a couple businesses. But he was also in the news once for being a bit of a scummy landlord.
Yes UNH is hot at the right time and there goaltending is solid,they also bring a physical play to there game...it will be a tough game,imo it will be if Maine can adapt to the physical play and take the eyes away from their netminder....they will need some dirty goals and the biggie...stay out of the box.
3-1 at home against them
Airtight elimination hockey (whatever that means) against Lowell…and the final, losing 50 minutes against bc
and if you were there last night, you saw Lowell whiff and miss pucks all night long from in close. At least 8 times. Hellsten was called on to make exactly 0 saves on screened shots and 0 saves on all those whiffs.
unh played a good game and Hellsten did what he had to do, but Lowell did not show up

If UNH plays like they did last night in Orono they will lose 6 to 1.

Let me elaborate a bit on what I saw last night:
UNH was sloppy. Got up 1-0, and tried to sit on the lead. Their powerplay was atrocious. They did enough to win, and Hellsten bailed them out a few times.
Lowell had multiple grade A opportunities and as StillKIA2 said, fumbled it, whiffed on it, Lowell has like 0 scoring or finishing touch right now..reminded me of Barr's first season with the remnants of the late Coach Gendron's groceries, won like 7 games and had ZERO finishing touch or skill..whiffed on pucks, blew 2 on 1's..they just had no high end talent.
If UNH plays this game in Orono they are going to get destroyed. Even if they go up 2 to 0 they will get destroyed trying to sit on a lead for two periods..crowd momentum is a thing, and a big factor. They should know, they fed off the UNH crowd in Durham which I would say was pretty good for the games I was there. Sound isn't as loud because it doesn't reflect like the Alfond, especially the student section. The Alfond will be rocking, the students should be back, it's going to be the loudest game I imagine all season.

Serious question will the students be back?
Most schools don't reopen dorms until Sunday of spring break. Particularly with Sunday St Patrick's day, they may not want students "on campus" Saturday night. Additionally I don't know the percentage of the student population actually on campus at Maine and if like UNH most live less than 90 minutes away.

I would be sending an email to the University and tell them to let the students come back..this is the biggest game of the year until the tournament
Yup, that’s what it looked like. Lowell made 0 tape-to-tape passes on the forehand where the recipient could do something with the puck…very Gendron-esque
I just about cried for joy at Colby this season seeing the Nadeaus passing tape-to-tape while driving up ice and while on the PP
(I’ll never understand how it is so hard for some players to know whether they are passing to a righty or a lefty…even Abbott used to pass to Flynn’s wrong side, but Flynny would go into almost a split to get off a one-timer…what a beautiful shot he had)
