Remember, BC won a national title each year they've played in Fenway.
It seemed like you and I agreed with just about everything except the everyone has to do it part. Then you got all weird with this senseless post. I guess most here would consider this typical. Happy Holidays, Hoky.
What trophy? They won Fenway bragging rights for life which I guarantee you drives many of the local BC kids crazy. And FYI, the kids on that BU team also won a Beanpot and national championship over the previous 7 months. they had enough trophys
Happy Festivus

Two national championships later I'm sure they're still not over it

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker
That first Fenway game is the game that started BC on their run to the NC , IMO. It seemed that half way through that game they just started to click and the rest is history, as they say................I wasnt aware that it was a bragging rights sort of thing. Sure, i was disappointed at the time but when i think back on it i have no bitter feelings about it because they won it all and that game was the springboard.*****

Originally posted by Thiessen'sBetter View PostI think 9 through 12 will play 5 through 8 in the "first round". Meaning that the top 4 teams will still have home ice the same way. They could do best out of 3 for the first round, but I doubt the top teams want to have a two week break between games that late in the season. I'd like to see those play-in games get played on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the regular season is over and then you can start the quarterfinals on the weekend.

Typical of a BC fan that once the BC kids get something, rest dont matter. I would guess several of the local kids would love to play at Fenway.
Originally posted by SteveF View PostI would agree that the sentiment is wrong. But the whole premise was also wrong to begin with; in that I wish they would stop picking BC to be in these games. I would prefer they cycle through every other team! But I know York seems to love them, so I can at least support that. But my personal opinion is that these games are a terrible fan experience after the novelty of the first game
He said it was a great experience and eventually they will go back but you gotta wait a while. He didn't envision doing this for a 3rd time in five years.

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker
On second thought, I bet hoky will only be happy once every combination of HE teams plays each other at Fenway including all different uniform combinations/home and visiting team. And then we'll move on to make sure every team in New England gets a game there, no matter it be division II, etc.
Ice cream for everyone.

Originally posted by Onion Man View PostHokydad, this Fenway thing is all about money (like all sporting events) and nothing to do with allowing a local kid the opportunity to play at Fenway. There is no chance UMass vs. Lowell would pack Fenway Park. Boston College vs. BU or Notre Dame, etc would get a much bigger crowd, hence why those type schools will always play in this event.
My only point was that who cares if every school gets to pay if the players love it. JD going or not is beyond irrelevant. I doubt the players do it `hoping that the school makes more money, doubt it ever crossed their minds.
I have not seen one nhl team/player/copach not thrilled to play them, you would expect more so for the college kids.
Lowell, Amherst, PC and MC have a ton of local kids would enjoy the experience. Just because BC played there doesnt mean anything. Just means that BU played BC and both York and Parker said it was a great experience and one they will neevr forget and one that the BU players can bust dchops with their BC pals down the road on. Which they will
