Re: The Beanpot is...
I think it is by far the best in-season tourney. Boston bragging rights. Local interest. Local rivalries. Private and public schools. Rotating opponents (unlike the GLI that is set up to have that "great" matchup of UM-MSU). Storied past. What more could you want?"Hockey is the only tribe I belong to." --Jack Falla

Re: The Beanpot is...
The Beanpot is great. It's great for the four schools, Boston, college hockey and fans of other schools. There aren't many things in sports as unique and with as much history as the Beanpot.
In CT, I would love to have implemented a lower tier version including Quinnipaic, Yale, Sacred Heart and Uconn. Women's college hockey currently does this and calls it the Nutmeg Classic, but Uconn is on a much higher level in women's play than in men's. Regardless a yearly holiday tourney featuring these four would definitely be a plus in a state that loves their hockey.Last edited by allnightwong; 02-03-2010, 10:59 AM.___________________________________________

Re: The Beanpot is...
Love it but is there anything that can be done to "fix" it ? Parker himself said of the BC-BU thing that except for those schools, most are sick of it because of the sameness (the BC-BU matchup) and while i tend to agree, how about the others freaking winning a game? NU 17 in a row vs BU in 'pot matchups and when was the last time Harvard beat BC? NU ! win a freaking game against BU ,can you please? same with Harvard vs BC. And it's not like they both are always terrible and never, ever beat BU or BC but in the Beanpot................totally impotent, the BU-NU thing is insanity!*****

You have got to give BU and Coach Parker a tip of the hat, as they play to win the 'Pot.

Re: The Beanpot is...
I like the concept. The one-sidedness of the results has made it a yawner, though.
I'd like to see a Governors' Cup between Maine, UHN, UVM, & ZooMass. Rotating hosts.bigmrg74: "You can't drink the day away if you don't start early!"
