I went over to Sec 113 to watch the 2nd period on Saturday. Reid was right behind me in a walking boot. Didn't look to happy to be on the sidelines so I didn't want to bother him.
I'm not a fan of the multiple stoppages in play for ice cleaning during the period. Maybe they were for tv timeouts but it seemed like they stopped play every 5 minutes. I believe last season there was one at the 10 minute mark.
I think I saw the postgame interview on facebook. Was interesting to see them pull the game 1 highlights offline for 3 hours Saturday night to add music.

Thanks, hopefully he'll be back soon. A good first weekend for the freshmen class. It will be interesting to see how things go at Duluth. They will need to stay out of the box.

Just an observation. I don't buy a lot of food or drinks at the games. I usually just buy a bottle of water, which cost me $4.25 yesterday. I can't remember if that is an increase from last season or not. I believe beer (16oz) is $9.00 and $8.25. Is that in line with other rinks? Maybe I'm getting cheap in my old age but my fear is that at some point the cost of concessions may start impacting attendance.
Have fun to the folks heading to Duluth.

With all games streamed now, they are TV timeouts. They take place at the 1st whistle after the 14-minute mark, 10 minute mark, and 6 minute mark of each period, with some exceptions (not after a goal, not after an icing, not after a whistle with no change allowed, not in the middle of a power play for one team).

I'm not buying a beer again until they make it a Budwesier bldg or if you want to go the local route stock some Night Shift Nite Lite
To expand on what ScottK stated, timeout lengths for Non-NESN games are 60 seconds in length. For NESN games, the timeouts are 90 seconds in length.
Being brand loyal is fine. Wanting nothing but (what I consider crap) one brand is dumb and business ignorant. It's not like you can't get Bud in the building (I'm assuming).Drastic? You betcha
But I'm a Brand Loyal Dude neither Coors Light or Miller Light ever caught my fancy
I made my suggestions known during the survey period last Spring

So who is to blame here? NESN? Thought it was odd they were picking up that game.
While off topic, it's interesting to me that in the 3 weeks between the press release and the current version of the hockey east watch schedule, three other games (BC @ Denver, UMass @ Denver, SLU @ UConn) have been added to the NESN schedule.
I can't imagine its a NESN thing, my best guess is the local station that UMD broadcasts their games to weren't happy about sharing their feed without NESN paying any of the production costs
