Just wanted to get everybody's opinion if a upset would be a possibility in the tournament. It is surely easy to pick a team like Oswego or St. Norbert to win it. However, if there was a team other than the powerhouses who would it be and why?

Re: Tournament upset??
Originally posted by NUProf View PostI would look out for Bowdoin. They get a home game against Neumann to get themselves started. Bowdoin has not fared well in the past in NCAA play, crashing and burning on the road in early round play. With a home game to get started and their win on the road in the NESCACs, they may have a chance to make a run.Russell Jaslow

The question was who could surprise. Bowdoin could.
I see the presidential trio plus SNC coming to a Ridder near you, with Bowdoin as the potential outsider. Nobody beats Norwich 3 times in one year.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Originally posted by 1Boston3 View PostI agree. I am not to sure Bowdoin has the firepower to dismantle Oswego. Especially, when you have a full week to work on what you want.
Bowdoin's strength is goal scoring and they've got a bunch of guys that can hurt you and put up numbers quickly.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

Originally posted by PrezdeJohnson09 View PostI actually think its the exact opposite. I don't think Bowdoin has the goaltending or the defense to dismantle Oswego.

Re: Tournament upset??
Obviously I am biased, but I wouldn't sleep on Bowdoin either. They can score with the best of 'em, have the best special teams (statistically) in the country, have a goalie who played great in the NESCAC playoffs (47 saves in the CG) and have a little bit of motivation to get back to Oswego and avenge the embarrassing loss last year.
The Polarbears are playing their best hockey right now... heres to hoping!Go Polar Bears Plaaaay Hockey!
