BC Women's Hockey '14-'15: #SOAR

Re: BC Women's Hockey '14-'15: #SOAR

"…..The defense does lose two senior leaders in Meagan Mangene and Jackie Young, but they are replaced by three freshmen, one of whom is Megan Keller…"

You left off one of the best parts of that quote.

"The defense does lose two senior leaders in Meagan Mangene and Jackie Young, but they are replaced by three freshmen, one of whom is Megan Keller, listed at a towering 5-foot-10."

Which BC Hockey Team Will Have The Better Season?

If we're talking overall winning percentage, my money would be on the women, if only because their schedule will not be as difficult. But if "better season" is measured by how far in the NCAA's each team will advance, I would say the men, because their track record shows they're capable of going the distance.

Yes, I am ashamed! I just didn't have the chutzpah for "listed at a towering 5-foot-10.":)

The women will obviously have a better record but keep in mind too that to get to the FF in women's hockey you just need to win one regional game (ideally one you played at home).

The men lost a ton of firepower last year. My money is on the women. The men will make the tournament but probably won't be favored to come out of their region.

Next thing you know we'll have Megan Keller facts like...

Superman wears Megan Keller Pajamas.
Megan Keller always tests positive for steroids. Not that she uses steroids. It's because steroids are made from Megan Keller.
Megan Keller doesn't laugh in the face of danger; Megan Keller is the face of danger.
Megan Keller once went to the running of the bulls and chased the bulls.
Megan Keller once won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves.

Just don't use "she doesn't shoot five hole, her shot creates its own hole." That belongs to Maggie Joyce!

Although it's going to be harder and harder for teams that don't win the Hockey East to advance to the regional playoff. You have 50% of the slots taken by auto-bids, plus probably a 2nd WCHA slot and another 1 or 2 ECAC. If you have a situation like this year where RIT upset Mercyhurst in the CHA finals, and Mercyhurst continues to be a top-6 school, you could end up with 2 CHA teams. Winning Hockey East unless ranked in top-5 Nationally is almost imperative.

Good point. A top 5 ranking could be increasingly necessary for teams in any of the conferences to advance...with multiple teams from 3 conferences now forecasted to rank within the top 10, upsets for conference championships are not that unlikely.
 
Re: BC Women's Hockey '14-'15: #SOAR

...upsets for conference championships are not that unlikely.

And some of the outcomes of those conference championship games will be very hard to predict. With the regular season behind both teams, and everything on the line for the "underdog", a few so-called "upsets" are almost inevitable....which makes it all the more exciting for all involved.

Are you serious? You're a complete moron. Trashing an 18 year old girl? Really?
GOD I hope I see you at the rink.

People are seldom serious when they are being humorous, although from your post, maybe humor is a foreign concept to you. This isn't the first time that hyperbole has been used to describe a player on this forum, although I'll hazard a guess that Ms. Keller is more talented than the previous cases I remember. Nobody is getting trashed, and I doubt anyone else read the post in question and thought it was a slight of Ms. Keller.

In any case, the mood on the women's forum is typically quite relaxed. I know that there are all sorts of political and sports forums out there where the norm is to get belligerent on every other post, but this isn't that type of place. We are all fans of the kids who play the game. That's why we are here. Once in a while, someone will post something derogatory about a player. When that happens, you'll know it; you won't have to make it up.
 
Re: BC Women's Hockey '14-'15: #SOAR

I'd say I was the face of danger but that's already taken by Keller.

I don't know that it is fair to call a player out like that, might be better to stick with "the most interesting player in the world"

Her passport requires no photograph.

When she drives a car off the lot it increases in value.

She once brought a knife to a gun fight ... just to even the odds.

Her signature won a pulitzer.

and for when she visits BU... Panhandlers give her money.
