2015-2016 Division I Women's Hockey Scores & Results

Re: 2015-2016 Division I Women's Hockey Scores & Results

Special thanks to Harvard for blowing all sorts of holes in my "compelling match-up argument". :o I will not rank you the rest of the year. :mad:

Okay. Look, it is just as frustrating to Crimson fans like myself. We can't seem to beat anyone outside the Eastern time zone.

MN 11- BSU 1 SOG 26-17 (though it appeared the scorekeeper fell asleep for long stretches)
Gopher 4th line got a workout yesterday. Perhaps the earliest I have seen them, about 1/2 through the 1st period. Most of the 3rd MN played 2 lines, 3 and 4. I'm not sure I have ever felt as sorry for an opponent. Mankato had a very young team last year but there were signs that they might get better. I believe they still have more freshmen this year but I didn't see anything to build with.
Good to see the 3rd and 4th line getting all that ice time. But from just looking at the box score (did not see the game) the first line looks to have been devastating, especially considering their reduced ice time. Question: was the 2nd line not at their best? I see out of the 11 goals scored they only got one of them.
 
Re: 2015-2016 Division I Women's Hockey Scores & Results

Yeah that's a pretty poor loss... Harvard's been all over the place so far.
It really isn't. Don't think UMD looks anything like the Bulldogs you saw that had all of two weeks with a new coach. How long did it take for BC to start to click after Katie took over? And she'd already been on staff.

Going into the game, I expected Harvard to be a bit more impressive than it was. However, UMD had improved a lot from the team I saw at the end of October. The first line I saw yesterday would be able to play against anyone, and I don't think they had been together prior to the series in Grand Forks.

I wasn't there, but I did watch the archive last night. The second line didn't get its normal amount of ice time, and one of the ways it has success is it just wears teams out trying to chase them around. It looked like Pannek's line had a harder time getting into a rhythm getting out there less often. It did have the game's first even-strength goal, and by the time it got out there again, the score was 3-0 before the midway part of the first period, and I just don't think the intensity is the same.

I'll defer to your expertise on UMD, I haven't seen them since they played BC, so if they've been looking better in their losses so be it. Here's hoping they can knock off one of those top two for us haha :mad:

I think it is loss, singular. They've only lost once since Crowell put the top line together, and that, along with goaltending, is what enabled the Bulldogs to win. Harvard is still deeper, so if UMD's top line doesn't dominate, then I think Harvard takes the rematch.

I'm not sure why you are mad. It isn't like Harvard losing to UMD hurts BC, since you play both of them. I guess UMD winning helps UW, but you should quit worrying about the WCHA teams until March. If BC never loses, it will be the No. 1 seed.

Oh I'm not mad about that -- I was actually debating with myself before the game whether it would be a good or bad thing if UMD beat Harvard because it would be helpful to have them as a TUC.

I'm mad that UMD seems to play like crap against the two teams it would actually help us if they beat lol

I only saw one of those four games, but UMD actually played well in the one that I saw and had a 2-0 lead halfway through. The Bulldogs just aren't as deep. If they were, then maybe BC doesn't get the win in the second game. I don't think Minnesota is going to have an easy time of it in Duluth in February.

Does BC travel to Duluth next year? If so, I think the 'Dogs will give you a series.

There seem to be big doings in the WCHA this year. While it's the same story with the top two teams - Wisconsin and Minnesota sit above the rest of the conference - Bemidji, No Dak, and UMD have improved to the point where they might be sitting at or near the top if they were in the ECAC or Hockey East.

The rematch of Harvard and UMD today will give us even more info. If UMD does it again, and assuming no surprises from Dartmouth, one might rethink the rankings and reshuffle to something like this... 1. Wisc 2. Minn 3. BC 4. Bemidji 5. No Dak 6. UMD.

Now that would be amazing. Big game today, that's all I can say.
 
Re: 2015-2016 Division I Women's Hockey Scores & Results

BC up 5-0 on NU after 2, shots are somehow 19-17 NU but I could not tell you how. This really hasn't been a contest.
 
Re: 2015-2016 Division I Women's Hockey Scores & Results

Minnesota beats Mankato 2-1.

Syracuse beats North Dakota 5-2.

St. Cloud beats Lindenwood 2-0.

Ohio State up 2-1 on Vermont

Wisconsin and Dartmouth are scoreless in the second period.

I avoided responding to this post hoping that your WCHA SUPAHSTAHZ would fall flat on their face today to do the talking for me and they did not disappoint.

Interesting that MD outshot Harvard. Wish I could have seen the game to know what happened.

My very first post on the subject was that this was the best East-West match-up of the season and would give us an indication where both teams are. I don't think I predicted UMD to win. But had they swept, that would have been a shake-up. Either way, it looks like UMD held up to who I think is the 2nd best team in the East.

WI totally destroyed Dartmouth today. St. Cloud and OSU gave UW a harder time than Dartmouth did today. Dartmouth's goalie is very, very good.

I tried several times to respond to you early today but kept getting database errors from the web site. The first line was on fire yesterday, MSU looked to be skating in mud the whole game & left forwards unattended weak side the whole game. he second line wasn't able to cash in. The 4th line showed up midway through the 1st and reduced the ice time for 1 & 2. I think 1 & 2 might only have gotten 1 shift each in the third. The first line really clicked, thats for sure.
