  • Re: New #1 Team

    This is one of the funniest threads I have seen in a long time.

    I think it would be lovely, just delightful, if Quinnipiac gets to be #1 in the polls. But it's not really new thread material.

      You know those people from South Central Connecticut and their gloating...

        I'm actually torn a bit. I mean, somewhere around the year 2001, DU got a number 1 ranking for the first time in quite a few years. It was a big deal (for us fans), and it put a good number of butts in seats. It is something to brag about, because it means that some actual human, biased people think you're the best team in the country right now. And Quinnipiac being a small school (referring to prominence, I have no idea of their literal size) it isn't like when a fan of BC or Minnesota (or DU) creates a new thread to celebrate a mid-size accomplishment in a long string of accomplishments. Not knowing their history, this may well be their biggest accomplishment. And good for them. I do love it when someone other than the usual suspects is #1, or makes the Frozen 4. Contrary to what some people will have us believe, those things are VERY VERY GOOD for the sport.

        And by the way, "South Central Connecticut?" Is Connecticut big enough to use multiple adjectives to describe a region within it?

          which proves what we all knew all along. Maine would get throttled (twice) if it played itself.

            The only thing that matters come tourney time is the Pairwise rankings. The polls are irrelevant. QU is ranked #1 as of now in the ranking that counts. There is still plenty of hockey to be played and the PWR is very volatile up until the end of the conference playoffs. Who knows how it will end up but the USCHO Poll will not be a factor.

              Exactly. But wouldn't win a game!

                Eight miles between two top ten teams (until Monday anyway), not many regions beside Metro Boston can boast that. Now if SHU would only step it up we could say three teams. I can equate the Q fans enthusiasm as a lesser version of what we Yale fans went through three years ago, you can't believe it is happening and the enthusiasm takes over common sense. (Disclaimer- the Q fans on this board have been very restrained and classy about their position thus far) Boston, New York and the Midwest will never bother to consider that a good or great team may come out of CT. Believe it or not, there has always been a thriving hockey community in this state, with two AHL teams and some really serious talent on the high school and prep level. There is talk of a push to get an NHL team back to Hartford, I would rather it didn't happen and keep the AHL and the college teams the focus in the State.

                  You seem a smidgen defensive about the quality of hockey in Connecticut. You get that I was in no way commenting on that, right?

                    Thx All for the thread about QU. Long way to go and just the discussion about QU possibly being #1 in a poll is amazing.

                      I got your point, my response was more directed towards the dismissive posters who feel they have to beat down every so called upstart that has the gall to threaten the traditional top five or ten teams. Your post just happened to be the last that I read in the thread. Going forward I will call our little part of CT the New Haven area

                        Hence why I used South Central. UCONN (towards the northeast) isn't all the strong, and SHU (Bridgeport), well....

                        I only rip on Q-Pac because of the tie they got on us, thereby causing a blemish on their perfect record that continues to be boasted by the media. Add to that the fact that we were in dead last at the time. Granted, I could say the same thing about Yale (losing 6-1 to a winless-in-conference team), but given the style that our two respective teams play, it's almost expected at this point that anything could happen.

                          It all starts with the goaltending.

                            Yes, RPI is the team that, for some reason, has given QU some trouble. Quite honestly, I hope we don't see you in the playoffs.

                                Every other year, we seem to tie out there in Hamden. I know I don't get it...
