Re: The D-I Pre-Season Fan Forum Poll For 2011-2012
Also...having troubles with the site this evening so the initial poll posting was messed up. A quote of the one response that was deleted along with the initial messed up thread:
Originally posted by puckskillzWisconsin: Very disciplined. Goaltending and defense a yr better. Coach Johnson will play to their strengths and neutralize their weaknesses. They just plain outwork their opponents and seem to taper well for March. Decker and Knight are phenomenal. But...they have a grueling season in the upper half of the WCHA so we'll see if they end up battle tested or worn and weary.Minnesota Hockey

Re: The D-I Pre-Season Fan Forum Poll For 2011-2012
Are you polling who we think will win or who people want to see win. Do you or anyone else really thin that UNH, Harvard, Providence, NU, Ohio Staste, and really a few others have a chance at winning it all. My money is on the Badgers to repeat with the Gophers close on their heels. I see Cornell and BU as the top teams in the East, but the WCHA keeps the title.

Originally posted by OnMAA View PostAs a betting person voting on UW (which is what I did in the poll). I'd say 50/50 chance of them repeating. Not sure on how close it is with others in the WCHA, but out east, my rank would be 1-BU, 2-Cornell, 3-Quinnipiac with BC and NE the challengers. If I were voting with my heart, it would be for an ECAC team.

They were a tough team last season, and have added some very nice weapons to play along with Babstock. I'm excited to see Cornell play them this season.
I would expect a few to register an "other" vote with Quinni in mind specifically.Minnesota Hockey

Originally posted by ARM View PostHave they added more recruits beyond the three shown on Hux's list -- Kosta (Canadian U18), Fritz-Ward, and Laden?
This should not be interpreted to mean that I don't think Harvard and Dartmouth will be good next season. I expect them to be very solid as both teams have good incoming players and coaches that have a good track record of filling the necessary holes to remain competitive. With that said, Quinnipiac has not posted its 2011-2012 roster, and Seeley has an established record of losing solid players prematurely so my opinion is predicated on the fact that this doesn’t prove to be the case once again this year.

Originally posted by ARM View PostBased on the last week, don't attempt it brooky!
I have been mulling adding a poll for Minnesota girls high school hockey though. Think that would be a tad contentious?
Also thought an updated version of your own poll titled "Which Conference Will Claim the NCAA Champion in 6 Months?" I think a version for the 2011-2012 season would be interesting.
I think there may very well be a boycott of this poll by UMD fans based on who posted it.Minnesota Hockey
