    I'd like to play the top OOC opponents possible.

    The worst thing is playing inferior OOC opponents and then it doesn't seem to help you if you win and destroys you if you lose.
    If you go back over the years, you'd be hard-pressed to find many seasons when BU didn't play some elite OOC competition. Wisconsin and Notre Dame should both be pretty/very good next year. If you're expecting to get NoDak, MSU and Michigan at Agganis every year... well then, yeah, you're gonna be disappointed.
    Places I've seen a college hockey game: Agganis Arena, Alfond Arena, Bright Center, Consol Energy Center, Conte Forum, DCU Center, Fenway Park, Gutterson Fieldhouse, Houston Field House, Lawler Arena, Madison Square Garden, Matthews Arena, Mullins Center, Schneider Arena, Scottrade Center, Sears Centre, Tampa Bay Times Forum, TD Bank Sports Center, TD Garden, Tsongas Center, Tully Forum, Verizon Center, Verizon Wireless Arena, Walter Brown Arena, Wells Fargo Center, Whittemore Center

      Getting Bucky is sweet. I'm just sick of usually losing to RPI or SLU.

            -Ice Breaker in St. Louis (2 games) w/ Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Holy Cross
            -Shillelagh Tournament (2 games) in Hoffman Estates, Ill. w/ Notre Dame and 2 others
            -Beanpot (2 games) -- BC in 1st round, NU/Harvard in 2nd
            -vs. Harvard
            -@ RPI

            Since the Ice Breaker is exempt from the 34-game limit, that leaves one more game. I assume it'll be a home game, but I have no idea who against. I also assume BU will play Wisconsin and Holy Cross in the Ice Breaker since they'll probably play Notre Dame in the Shillelagh.
            Do we still owe Yale a return visit? If so I would hope that would not be next year, given that based on what you have there, our only OOC home game is Harvard.

              Nope, basically we owe ND (which they are reportedly trying to cash in on in 11/12) and RPI, since we were supposedly starting a somewhat regular series up with them again. Everything else appears spoken for.

                My guess then is we will get another ECAC team to visit that we will not owe a return trip to... my arbitrary prediction is Princeton.

                If we are doing the Ice Breaker... then probably not room for 2 exhibitions? So it would be either a Canadian Team or the U-18? (Let's hope for the Canadian team here).

                  Let's not hope for THE Canadian team unless you want to see a bloodbath on the Agganis ice.

                    Haha... OK... I'll further my arbitrary predictions.... the exhibition home game will be against Toronto, and the OOC home game will be Princeton.

                    If anyone else wants to register their predictions, throw em out there and we'll see who gets it right!

                    Maybe we pool our money.... winner gets a beer at the home opener.

                          We also played Michigan and Miami to open the 04-05 season. Ushered in the John Curry era. Probably the most important big losses ever?

                          Are you referring to the 7-2 victory in WBA? I think that's the only time I've ever seen two defensemen get hat tricks in the same game. Schaeffer and Whitney.

                          Are you kidding? I would love, LOVE! to see a bloodbath. The score wouldn't matter, it'd be great for the program, and for recruiting. It's actually not as crazy as you'd think - if there is no more NHL in the Olympics.... Though in that case it would be more like a lopsided defeat rather than a bloodbath.

                            Boyle had a chance to bury the Spartans on a 2-on-1 to make it 2-0. Later on he was involved in a game changing play on defense.

                              That was when the MSU goalie dove out and gloved it in front of him like a 1st baseman right? (edit: maybe not exactly, but it seemed that way) Man, I thought that was goal city.
