    Of COURSE they are. I was told this trip was supposed to be the third weekend in October, which is my birthday weekend. If the world is in a place where road trips are possible, I hope to go (if only to add another to my Rinks Where Scarlet Has Seen College Hockey) but really didn't want to spend my birthday in the UP (no offense intended). But November would be OK. Though do I want to relive that pain???? Not sure.

      Hey Sean, can you post the link to your YouTube channel? The 91 game is on it, correct? I want to see something.

        Home:
        Alaska x2
        ASU x2

        Away:
        NMUx2
        Brown

        Who do we think the last one is? Cornell(if RHH is still on), Minnesota (rumored to come to Boston last year but COVID. But doesn’t look like it will fit their schedule next year). LIU (rumor last year) or SHU (thought they were supposed to play last year again but who knows)
        Harvard? The Tuesday before Thanksgiving? Please?

        A group of us went to that clinching Alaska-BC 1991 NCAA game. Good times. : )
        It Happened!!!!

          It's in my sig, but it seems few people have there settings configured to show sigs. The games are not on YouTube, but my Google drive. Games are by year-month-day (the BU-NMU NCAA title game is 1991-03-30).

            • Two points on the schedule- When you play western teams you then go there to return the visit. With major teams it is often a trip some of us like to make
              Examples in past years have been North Dakota and Michigan & Quinnipiac
              Also don't get the two home games. Colorado College is coming to Boston and playing BC Friday and Northeastern Saturday
              It used to be that way with BU two but not recently

                We are doing that - just with ASU (returning to open their new arena in winter 2022, I believe) and returning the series with NMU.

                My understanding is at least part of the reason why the "big" OOC teams aren't on the schedule recently has to do with their requested scheduling. Many wanted to schedule the series out west the first weekend of the season - BU wanted to stop doing this and instead shift to late October or early November to give the team a few games and weeks of practice under the belt. I believe DU was one of the main culprits here - I'd heard they wanted to re-up the series that ended in 2018 but would only agree to play us in Denver to open the season.

                Also don't forget we had a H/H with the Gophers on the schedule beginning last year that's now up in the air. I'd also heard pre-Covid that St. Cloud and North Dakota H/H's were in the works as well for future seasons.

                  I heard the same thing. Albie was tired of the team being pasted by older, more experienced opponents early on in the season.

                    So... should wait until the 1st round of the NCAA'S to get pasted by them? Isn't it better to get a look at who you'll be dealing with in the tournament ahead of time?

                      Ya I don't really get this point. If it's an opening weekend series...it's an opening weekend series for both teams. I could understand it if Denver was trying to set it up where it was BUs first game but Denver's third or something like that. Otherwise it shouldn't matter when you play them.

                        I didn't say I agreed with his viewpoint, if that's even how he feels. I posted what I was told.

                          We didn't get pasted by St. Cloud this year - we pasted ourselves.

                          • I noticed that Dante Fabbro has been a "black ace" for the Nashville playoff games.

                              He played in 40 regular season games. Healthy scratch maybe? Or are you referring to Farrance as the black ace?

                                No, my reference was to Fabbro. Farrance has been a healthy scratch, also, but I expected that.

                                Fabbro was logging big minutes most of the season, but sustained an injury. He came back to the lineup late in the season. Maybe, Nashville decided he hadn't recovered sufficiently from the injury.
