UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign

We have the highlights for game 2 posted but no post game interview. I always like to see the interview to hear Norm's comments.
 
Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign

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.

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.

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.

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).

They stopped for the same 3 "TV" timeouts per period that they've had for years (actual TV game or not). First whistle after 14:00, 10:00, and 6:00.

EDIT: i.e. what ScottK said above. But they have been using these stoppages for years.
 
Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign

I like the "TV timeouts"

Usually gives me enough time to get up use the bathroom and get back to my seat.

I never buy food there outside of popcorn because of the free refills, but yeah beer went up .75 cents from $8.25 to $9 for the "Premium" 16 oz cans

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.

It's interesting though, that the "tv time outs" don't actually result in commercials on stream. Guessing that may change eventually, but watching on the stream they've been dropping the ad during the middle of the period, missed the UAH goal Friday night due to an ad on stream
 
Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign

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
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).

I noticed fewer beer choices available this weekend. The Harpoon stand behind sec 115 was missing and the woman that works the Sam Adam's tap behind 104 told my buddy that they are going to replace those taps with White Claw soon.

Safe travels to anyone heading out to Duluth, I hear it might snow? :eek:

So who is to blame here? NESN? Thought it was odd they were picking up that game.

That stinks.

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
