Perhaps it's more that BU is afraid to schedule them. > It is a little early in the year for another version of a trash BU thread to start. Like most teams, BU fans (most of them anyway) like to see games against regional rivals. For an older fan like me I clearly remember when the ECAC teams were league rivals. Why anyone would complain about games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence-two very tough opponents at home-is beyond me. Like all NC$$ teams, BU cannot play more teams than anyone else, although they managed this year to add an extra against Minnesota. My only complaint is that I may be able to get to Boston during the holiday season for the first time in years but BU will be absent. I don't think playing holiday games in Grand Forks is a recruiting tool but someone has already commented that the Fighting Sioux could be a top WCHA team this year.
