Re: Hockey East Summer Predictions

Depends what qualifies as a surprise...

I'll admit I just laughed out loud.

I get that part. It's the Providence thing that had me

That was my bad... I copied and pasted the original post and missed deleting the PC part of it... it has since been corrected.

Saw him play at Winthrop and he was an absolute beast. Just a guess obviously, but I figure he'll get more of a chance to be a top-6 forward right away then some of the other drafted in-coming freshmen.

Zero chance of Leblanc winning ROTY. Winthrop plays Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, etc...no chance. He might not be a top six forward freshman year at Merrimack. Ottawa drafted him to be a project, someone with raw talent who might develop.

OK, I have to ask the question: what makes you think LeBlanc wins ROY?

He retired before he had anymore senior moments. Kudos..... coach of the year. No Joke... good for JaPa....

Anyway, the surprise team in Hockey East clearly is Notre Dame.

Re: Hockey East Summer Predictions

He also has UNH winning the HE tournament and we know that's never going to happen.

I will agree it is unlikely but UNH has won 2, so it has happened. Remember these are H.E. predictions.

Re: Hockey East Summer Predictions

Regular Season Champ: Umass Lowell
Tournament Champ: UNH
NCAA tournament teams: UML, PC, BC, UNH, ND, Borderline teams: ME, BU
Player of the Year: Johnny Gaudreau
Rookie of the Year: No idea
Best Goalie: Connor Hellebuyck (UML)
Coach of the Year: Nate Leaman (PC)
Surprise team/Biggest Jump: Maine

You have UML winning the HE regular season but missing the NCAA's. My guess is that the team that wins the regular season title will have a strong enough Pairwise Ranking to be included in the NCAA's.

He also has UNH winning the HE tournament and we know that's never going to happen.

My bad, I forgot to put down UML. My post is now edited.
