    the poles are...

    BC also didn't lose to Holy Cross.

      Yeah, we'd be ranked higher if not for that stretch where we lost to PC, HC, and got blown out by Lowell. Really our ranking is only just starting to recover from that.

      I agree we should be higher, but it's early. There's lots of hockey left to play

        A loss to Holy Cross and a complete pasting by UML still hang on us no matter what we win. Inconsistency is a bit of a hallmark of our teams in recent years and I think pollsters are remembering that rise to #1 and subsequent collapse.

        I don't want this team getting ranked too highly because they'll start skating like they believe they'll win just because they're out there. I want them remembering they got burnt hard by Holy Cross and staying hungry for more recognition.

          Bingo!

          This team finally seems to know it needs to work hard EVERY night, I don't want lofty rankings to let them forget that.

          Impressive to win road games at BC, BC, UNH, and Maine, all before the break.

            If they get even remotely complacent they could easily start off the second half with three (or more) quick losses. Tough schedule.

              You're beginning to sound like some of the Lowell fans. They think they should be higher than BU because they beat us. No wait....annihilated us. Doesn't matter that we started the season at #2 and they.....didn't. And also, it's Coach Parker's fault. I think we're fine at #9.

                When BU recruited Hohmann, I found this comment from his Compuware coach:
                “He’s a very dynamic player. He sees the ice well and he’s explosive on his skates. He skates one speed: full-out. He’s a playmaker. A constant threat when he has the puck. He can stickhandle in a phone booth.”
                So far, so good. Good thing BU outdueled BC and Denver to get him.

                Hockey East didn't receive a highlights file from CBS. I have it on DVR, except for the ENG. Will see what I can do.

                      I was telling a friend of mine who's Maine grad now living in Wisconsin, 'You know, Alfond can be one of those places that is intimidating even when Maine isn't.'

                        This worries me as well. They need to be ready from the get-go in the second half as they start off with 3 very tough games (ignoring the exhibition). The start, whether it be good or bad, could really set the tone of the second half/rest of the season.
