D3 18-19 season

I think it will be:

1) Adrian
2) Plattsburgh
3) Elmira
4) Norwich
4) River Falls
6) Hamline
7) Middlebury
8) St Thomas
9) GAC
10) Eau Claire

My initial gut instinct was to move Midd up but they did only tie Elmira and then lost by 3 goals to Adrian. Seems more like a down performance than up.

The loss to Adrian was closer than the score. The 4th was an ENG.
 
Re: D3 18-19 season

Based on two solid wins against highly ranked teams (Norwich 2-0 and Elmira 4-1). Platts gets the votes;

1) Plattsburgh
2) Adrian
3) Elmira
4) Norwich
5) River Falls

Is this the first time a Western team has been the No. 1 team in the country?

USCHO Poll is up


Rnk Team
1 Adrian (11) [5]
2 Plattsburgh (4) [2]
3 Elmira [1]
4 Norwich [3]
5 Middlebury [4]
6 Wisconsin-River Falls [7]
7 Hamline [5]
8 St. Thomas [8]
9 Gustavus Adolphus [9]
10 Wisconsin-Eau Claire [10]

I don't get how Hamline falls two spots in both polls by being inactive...River Falls only action since the last poll was a win over an 0-6-1 St. Olaf squad.

Okay, which of the top 5 do you keep out?

I drop Middlebury. 2-1-1 vs Hamline's 5-1-0. Let Midd earn their way back up.

I am not a fan of Midd or NESCAC but they did tie number 3 (1 at the time) and won the shootout. Hamline does have a couple nice wins in the west, but not sure they would compete week after week in the east against Norwich, Plattsburgh, Elmira, and Middlebury.

It's a shame we don't have more inter-region play prior to the NCAAs to better see how they hold up, but Hamline does have the SOS edge over Midd on the KRACH rankings right now. They also are higher in the Scoring Offense section of the national stats.

The offense is higher because of most of the competition. SOS in KRACH is sometimes a little skewed.Remember the NESCACs just started two weeks ago. Let's see where we are after the break.

Yes, the polls are meaningless at this time. Revisit them in mid January.

I'm fairly certain Gustavus has been up there in the past. Maybe even Stevens Point way back when. But definitely not recently.

It's crazy looking back. In 12-13 Gustavus went 24-0-1 regular season, but Plattsburgh was 23-0-2. I'm assuming Plattsburgh was number 1 all year, over the undefeated Gustavus team. GACs tie came late Feb agains UWS. Platty tied Norwich early on and Utica about the same time GAC tied.

Got to watch some amazing work in all the nets yesterday at the Panther/Cardinal. The 4 teams had collectively scored 89 goals in 20 games prior to Saturday and we got to see 2 exciting games with all of 3 total goals.
Thanks to Coach Mandigo and Coach Houle for creating such a great event (Coach Crowley and Coach Skelly for bring their teams; and all the players and parents for the passion they bring) to cap off the Thanksgiving holiday!
Sad to see the Polar Bears end the NESCAC non-conference unbeaten string at 8 with their 4-0 loss to Manhattanville.

PooBears will be in a dogfight with Trinity.... for last place this year. Wesley and Colby of all teams, will pass them by.

Yes, I often find that a stranger from somewhere in the ether typing words about his opinion of the comparison of a couple of teams that I haven't actually seen will bring out that sort of totally proportionate response.

Lol, not very well worded, but well said nonetheless. ;) You might say I feel a bit of contempt towards the over-opinionated little moron who is another man who has not lived or played our sport but thinks he knows it all when he really knows so little.
