The one thing I noticed was that last year's schedule seems to be very similar to this coming year's schedule for the HE team's that have announced it so I tried to mimic last years as much as possible. However, I tried to mimic the tentative schedule BU had pre Frozen Fenway since that schedule fit better with what the rest of the league was/is doing. Also the Beanpot went from falling as early as possible to falling as late as possible, so that caused a slight shift from last year to this year.

The most likely change I see is one of the early games with UMass being moved to early/mid January in the same weekend as either MC or UVM.

FL/Hammer, where did you hear/read about the U Toronto game?

OK thanks. Maybe I am a little confused, but is BU playing in the Great Lakes Inv this year. It is already listed on the JL arena website.--

TBA is correct we swapped years with them, so BU will be in it next year. If you were planning on going you should consider going to Hoffman that weekend instead.

So mookie, no Tuesday before Thanksgiving game?

BTW, I now have your schedule (more or less) on the blog. Throwing journalistic integrity out the window on this one.

There has to be more to the story than the St. Patricks Day incident, then showing up late for the punishment day, and a you tube video. I am guessing that there were more rules broken, etc. to justify being released from the team.
Vinny Saponari is a great hockey player, and IF these were the only problems with him, I feel badly about it.....but as said......I suspect there is more to the story

We've got different definitions for what's considered a great hockey player. How would you describe Wilson or Gilroy (or even Yip) then?

Hey. Just because Vinny couldn't find the puck when it was gift-wrapped for him at the doorstep of the net doesn't mean he's not as good as . . . oh wait.

I think it is a safe assumption that this was an ongoing issue... and those were the items that sealed thier doom.

I'm happy someone else said what I was thinking. Just deleted a whole long rant for the sake of everyone's sanity.

How on Earth does a team captain let this happen?
