Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

This from my first weeks picks...

1> BC - Talented...No doubt about it. Someday they're going to put it all together, right?
2> Minnesota - Probably be ranked differently if I had money on it.

Not exactly the most serious effort at it as I even forgot #8, but Minny at 2 is a bee in the bonnet for someone so...
Ranking from a preschooler who has no concept of women's college hockey. Not a problem as we just went with ranking the nicknames and due to attention span issues we could only rank the top three teams. They are as follows...

1> Gophers
2> Eagles
3> Badgers

4> Clarkson - They played...Harvard didn't.
5> Harvard - See above. "Crimson" would not have done well in the preschooler poll of nicknames
6> BU - Didn't overwhelm but also didn't lose. "Terriers" would have done well in the preschooler poll.
7> Bemidji - A coin flip winner with North Dakota for 7 & 8 and the "Beavers" would have probably been #4 in the preschooler poll of nicknames.
8> UND - Unlucky coin flip and also worth noting that without a nickname they wouldn't have fared very well in the preschooler poll.
9> Quinnipiac - "Bobcats" would have probably been 5th or 6th in the preschoolers nickname poll.
10> Northeastern - This could have just as easily been Ohio State

Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

Friendly reminder that the poll deadline is Tuesday evening this year -- so get those votes in!

That includes you, TTT20...
 
Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

Alrighty here goes:

1) Minnesota -- Surprisingly close game against PSU and then one that wasn't close.
2) Boston College -- Two games against UMD that could either have been great or meh.

3) Clarkson -- Gonna be great this year
4) Harvard -- Starts playing in, what, four months or something
5) Wisconsin -- Top 5 all hold steady from my first ranking. Still shaking my head at Wisconsin willingly playing Providence. Great job guys.

And everyone else was less than impressive:

6) Bemidji State -- Vermont shouldn't be good this year... how did BSU they only win by 1?? Hockey East clearly the best conference IMO based entirely on this weekend series.
7) BU -- Managed to sneak by Chuli, but only barely.
8) NU -- Dropped them from #7 because of the SLU tie last weekend vs. BU's and BSU's sweeps this weekend.
9) North Dakota -- Cool series against RPI bro
10) Quinnipiac -- Just barely better than Mercyhurst this weekend, so they get the spot.

Honorable mention: Mercyhurst, and Penn State who despite getting swept by UM I have high hopes for.
 
Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

As an aside -- Despite no one in the USCHO top ten losing, almost every game was really really close besides the BC and Minnesota games. I think crazy parity might be the name of the game this year.

The Wisconsin/Providence series wasn't at all close. Digging into the box scores a bit, the Bemidji, North Dakota, and Clarkson sweeps look fairly lopsided. Colgate outscored Robert Morris 11-3, though that's a bit of lopsidedness that could speak for parity rather than against.
 
Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

Agreed. The UW / Providence games sure weren't close! Coach Johnson rolled all 4 lines all weekend.. In the game Saturday the Badgers only gave up 3 shots on goal over the last 2 periods of a very lopsided 8-1 win.. They did EXACTLY what they were supposed to do last weekend which was WIN BIG..

:rolleyes: Other than taking Katie Crowly's word for it, please explain how you can possibly justify this statement. If my math is correct, WCHA teams were 13-3 in all non-conference games this past weekend, whereas Hockey East went 2-6-1 (congrats to BC for notching their only two wins). Against Hockey East only in head-to-head games, the WCHA was 6-2.

Of course one weekend does not make a season, but "based entirely on this weekend series" one cannot come to the conclusion that "Hockey East clearly the best conference".

You will have to excuse TTT. He has a BC education, so he is sometimes confused by large words such as "best".

Well to be fair 2 WCHA wins and HEA loses were the St Cloud-Mack series. And While Mack apparently held leads late they are a glorified club team. And 2 more were Wisco-Providence which TTT views as a slightly more glorified club team.
