  • Hockey East 2010-2011

    BC and Maine look like obvious top-4 teams but Merrimack could be one of those teams. I suppose BU or UNH could be the other. Put in your top-4 surprises for next season.

    I think its too early to pick any conference, but since you asked:

    1.) Boston College, assuming there are no early departures, will dominate.
    2.) Maine will finish lower than second. They had a great run to finish the season, but they still struggled to make the Hockey East playoffs last year.
    3.) Boston U. and UNH will not get home ice
    4.) Providence will not finish last. UMass-Lowell will.

      1. Sure, easy pick.
      2. Definite? No, absolutely not. Nyquist is too good, but the Darling situation has to be resolved. There's a lot of talent up there.
      3. Both have question marks. Who is UNH's goalie? And will BU's goalie(s) show up, which can also be said for the rest of the team, with a good recruiting class coming in. Again, not definite for either. UMass got killed by departures, Lowell lost a lot, Mack is good but how will they deal with teams not taking them lightly, Vermont is Vermont, pesky but inconsistent, NU apparently has some good freshman coming in. But no one else in the conference really stands out below the top 1 or 2 as definite home ice teams.
      4. You're a fool.

        Hendricksen picked BC to be 8th last season and look what happen. BU is getting some good recruits and could surprise people with Nieto and Clendening.

          1) They should, yes, but when was the last time anything went according to plan in HE? I'd still pick them first, though.
          2) How did they struggle to make the playoffs? They were in the top 4 all season and were one of only 3 teams to have a spot clinched going into the final weekend. I'd pick them second.
          3) I think at least one will. I see BU, UNH and Merrimack battling for 3-4-5. Wouldn't be shocked to see UVM or NU jump into that group, though.
          4) Possibly. I see PC, UML and UMass battling for 8th. I don't think PC will be all that improved, but UML and UMass lose a lot.

            Whats foolish about that? Lowell finished fifth and lost just about everyone. PC doesn't have much, but they do have most of their team returning.

                Beaudry is not a bad goalie the games I've seen him play but the rest of the team is not so good.

                    First, Lowell finished tied for third. Only in playoff seeding does "fifth" come into play.

                    Secondly, Lowell definitely lost a lot, but they're very high on the recruiting class (and there's a ton of them), and have some good players (hopefully) coming back as well including Edwards and Campbell. Saying that, I do think they're going to be fighting at the bottom of the league.

                      No, no! Dave has to pick BC to finish 8th again.

                        Merrimack was terrible on the road last year and if that continues forget them finishing any higher than 6th. Their home record was also extremely good, we'll see if that continues next year. Braithwaite has left school also, so is Cannata really the guy you want in net every game?

                            bc will dominate. maine will be close behind.

                            uml/pc/umass will fight for 8th

                            the rest is a toss up, unh/bu/nu/uvm fill out the middle, i think the mack is just above those guys (if the rosters stay the same as of right now).

                            another tight year, home ice will once again come down to the final weekend.

                              In PC's defense, there's no possible way they could be that bad again. Right?
