2012-13 Hockey East Thread

[UVM Cat in Texas]

There is no chance UVM finishes higher than Maine, Merrimack or Northeastern this season. Zero. Better to accept it now.

I was right on all but Merrimack. Two out of three ain't bad.

Re: 2012-13 Hockey East Thread

Oops... I forgot to post my pre-season picks. Here they are...

1. UML
2. BC
3. BU
4. PC
5. UNH
6. MC
7. UVM
8. Maine
9. NU
10. UMass

Don't know what I was thinking on the UMass and NU picks.

BC-King until dethroned.
UML- no you will not finish first.
PC-on the way up.
BU-a date with BC in the semis.
UNH-you really can't break up that BC-BU game.
NU-Hounds deserve better than they have received lately.
MC-that puts someone else lower.
ME- Goodbye Timmay, last game in Quarters at Conte.
UMA-tie with UVM.
UVM-tie with UMA as the coaches think alike and know each other too well.

So, can we make a minor revision to this and say " Goodbye Timmay, last game in Quarters at Tsongas" and be okay with that ?? I mean the placement is perfect, why not the prediction also ??

Congratulations King Lowell, but was it ever so close. As for me I guess I did not give enough credit for Vermont and too much for Northeastern. Most on here who predicted were not too far off though.

With one weekend to go, it's kind of fun to see what people predicted...

[mookie1995]

In general I agree but it wont have an impact on jockeying for home ice or 5th or 6th. That will still be very important for PWR, etc. It's the race at the bottom that really becomes meaningless.

If I was in the bottom half (which we will be if things continue at this pace) I'd try like crazy to avoid that quick flight to Indiana!!

Re: 2012-13 Hockey East Thread

Trying to remember the last time we had the standings this close ... 4 points separating 1st through 6th (as of right now anyway). This is fantastic.

Can't wait till we get every team making the playoffs, so this whole fight for positioning is all pretty much irrelevant.

Re: 2012-13 Hockey East Thread

there was a questionable call against mc couple weeks ago vs uhn (these things equal out over a season... can't expect it during a game! or a period!! )

mookies rant continues!

Look at the Hockey East standings right now, and tell me it's not more exciting when only the top 8 teams qualify.

100% agree. HE wasn't broke and they are "fixing" it adding ND and the other school and they are going to "fix" the tourney too, great

Re: 2012-13 Hockey East Thread

ok but not sure what questionable calls against MC that you are referring to. I don't think it's really up for debate who got the better shake last night but whatever.

Questionable calls both way

Re: 2012-13 Hockey East Thread

I'm still trying to figure out what's more of an amazing occurrence: a large meteor hitting Earth or Merrimack College in sole possession of first place. What's more impressive, they both happened on the same day.

they got hot and UNH and BC came back to the pack. Good for MC. BC played a great game last night i thought, all things considered (suspension and getting there late, questionable calls) but hey, MC tied it up late and won in OT. Give 'em credit
