Of BU's 4 extra games this year 3 are on the road and 1 is at home. So next year that will flip. It is balanced out by both of the BU and UVM games being at BU (next year they'll both be at UVM), BU plays a home and home with every other team, so they have 12 home and 12 road games in HE.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread 2017
Here's a possible wrinkle with Merrimack. The Warriors have demonstrated the uncanny ability to show up for big games (against what I'd say are your Tier 1) over the past few years and then lose to creampuffs. "Luckily" three of our "extra games" come in big game category - @BU, PC, @NU. And then Zoomass at home.

So when the league announced that every team is playing 2 extra games at home and 2 on the road they were wrong? BU only plays Vermont twice this year anyways. Last year BU played 2 games at Vermont, so it makes sense that Vermont would come to BU for 2 this year.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread 2017
So it is a logical mistake on my end when I started listing them off. I looked for the teams each team played 3 times, then took as a given they were supposed to be H&H to begin with. This is not true for UVM or Maine, those series are weekend visits which alternate each year. Because of this the games concerning those teams are actually flipped from what I said prior, in the eyes of the league.
As an example, BC should read
BC - 2x@UConn-1xUConn 2x@Maine-1xMaine, 2x @Lowell-1x Lowell, 1x@PC 2xPC, H&H with all but UVM, then 2 at home against UVM. This gives 11 home and 11 road.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread 2017
I guess they were wrong. Look at the BU schedule, BU plays four HE teams 3 time this year Providence (1 at PC, 2 at BU), Merrimack (2 at MC, 1 at BU), Maine (2 at ME, 1 at BU), and UConn (2 at UC, 1 at BU), so 3 of the extra 4 games are on the road. Then of the other six teams they play a home and home with five of them, and 2 home games (0 away games) with UVM.

Or maybe, since Maine and Vermont are treated differently when it comes to scheduling, the extra game against Maine is the home game, not one of the road games.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread 2017
Ahh, I see how that could be. Maine jumped through hoops when ND was added to the league to keep BU as a home and home, so I assumed the same would continue, but who knows. We'll find out once BU and ME aren't paired up as extra game opponents.

I saw Arizona State at BC last year. They were a big, tough team. Not a cupcake.

The media guy for Merrimack mentioned in the intermission on Saturday that, unofficially, a deal has been made with NESN to broadcast some games later in the season. UML, VT, PC mentioned as being a part of this.
