If we beat UNH I'm rushing the ice.

This boy will be there. Joe won't until the very end at best, my friend Mike should be there, though I'm not sure if he's working or what. I might be all alone

Technically, you always are when you are at games.

I would say "*** happened," but I bet I could probably figure out in my head exactly what happened and now. It seems like a lot of these games against top teams are instant replays.

It was pretty much a carbon copy of both UMD games, although I will say I think UNH is better than UMD. UMD did not impress.

UMD did not impress.

While I know what you mean, my reaction to UMD has been the opposite. If you take a team with a typical number of graduating seniors and remove their best forward and a franchise goalie, that team is going to struggle. BC makes a good Exhibit A. In the case of UMD, they also lost two more top forwards, their best D, plus another D. That's a lot to replace in a short time when you can't recruit to replace them because you hope they'll return. They still have to deal with losing a couple more players during the Olympics, but I've been impressed with their first half.

I'm not saying they don't deserve an extra pat on the head for winning despite player loss, I just think they're overrated in the standings based on how they played. They were good, but not amazing.

They were good, but not amazing.

Just like every ranked team I've seen this season. Which is only half of the current top 10.

Re: Boston College Women's Hockey '10: Thunstromian Dominance

Well, my point remains, I think UNH is better.

Based on results to date, I think that's fair. I would guess which of the two teams (UNH/UMD) fares better in the final rankings will be determined by who improves more over the second half, as they are both rather young.
