As terrible as fenway is to watch hockey or anything, you schedule hockey games once every fourth year to give the players the gimmicky novelty of playing games in the quirky stadium.These ridiculous gimmick games at Fenway need to come to an end once everyone's had their shot to play there.
They are counting against teams' home schedules. The only one I know is that apparently BU-UMass will count as a UMass home game and BU will not be playing out in Amherst. A good trade-off for us, but crappy for UMass. Don't know who gives up the home game in UConn-Maine, but the game will not be considered a neutral site contest for the purposes of conference scheduling.If these games are going to count against our home games I think the idea is dumb already. Also I'm gonna be very pi$$ed if those 2 Saturday's go unscheduled at the XLC while we're at Fenway. Then we'll have to return home and play on like a Tuesday knowing how they set everything up smh.
These matchups are completely terrible, this Fenway nonsense needs to end if they're going to keep up with this idea of "Let's just make sure everyone has a chance!!!!!!!" UConn-Maine? BU-UMass? They couldn't think to match UConn with BC? BU with Providence or UNH? BC-PC is the only game here that would draw any level of interest.
Troll AlertWhy would hockey east feel compelled to match BC vs Uconn ? There is no history between the two schools and uconn has been a bottom feeder team since joining the league. this Fenway stuff worked when it was BC-BU. That's it
I know. They shouldn't be doing these at all anymore, but HE seems intent on continuing and creating these boring matchups to make sure "everyone participates" so the BC-UConn matchup is making lemonade from lemons. You think I'm pumped to see my guys take on UMass? These games are a joke.Why would hockey east feel compelled to match BC vs Uconn ?
