The usual suspects as Harris Cup participants, Marian- MSOE- Lawrence, have lost ground over the past year due to graduating their top offensive players. Marian or MSOE could sneak into the HC picture, but Lawrence has really hit the skids due to their inability to recruit enough quality players to keep this team in the picture. LU peaked 2 years ago as a 4th place finisher and making the Harris Cup. Losing that HC play-in series to Northland last season , on home ice, was their last hurrah for now.
Last year Northland peaked making it to the HC , but their playoff window has closed. Finlandia has taken a few more steps backwards and will be out of the HC for near future. Aurora can't start playing NCHA games fast enough for this duo.2011-2012 NCHAMIACMCHA PICK'EM CHAMPION

Purely based on early results, Plattsburgh and Point appear to be the two top teams in the country right now.

Therefore, one could believe that 1) SNC is not a good road team , 2) Finlandia is a strong home team or has friendly zebras , 3) SNC is not #1, 4) UWSP is the real #1 right now . or 5) the sample is not ample .
I tend to go with option #5.Last edited by MW49; 11-13-2013, 04:09 PM.2011-2012 NCHAMIACMCHA PICK'EM CHAMPION

Re: The NCHA Thread
Looking at this from a distance this is what I see,
1. With the small sample size UWSP is a beast right now.
2. UWSP stays hot, gets a pool B and denies Eau Claire a chance to defend.
3. St. Norbert is not the #1 team right now, but history is on there side and will be there (Maine) at the end.

As for Point, I'm more impressed with what they did this past weekend than what they did to Finlandia two weeks ago...
