ECAC Pick The Standings 2014-2015 Season

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings 2014-2015 Season

Have not been following NCAA hockey closely since last year-but maybe that will make my picks that much better. Jen says it is time-and although I used to have a substantial vocabulary, once I got married all I can remember to say is "yes dear". So here goes---

1-Quinnipiac
2-Colgate
3-Cornell
4-Yale
5-Union
6-Dartmouth
7-SLU
8-RPI(I would have then in the top 3 if they had any offensive coaching strategy other than what we have seen the past few years)
9-Clarkson
10-Harvard
11-Princeton
12-Brown
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings 2014-2015 Season

4. Cornell
5. Dartmouth
6. Yale
7. Harvard
8. Clarkson
9. RPI

Going to change my picks. Bumping SLU and dropping RPI based on early returns.

2. Union
3. Quinnipiac
4. Cornell

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings 2014-2015 Season

The ECAC this year is three-tiered.
Order might be a little different, but that's the bracket for each team:

1. Colgate
2. Union
3. Cornell
4. Quinnipiac

5. Dartmouth
6. Yale
7. Clarkson
8. Brown

9. St. Lawrence
10. RPI
11. Harvard
12. Princeton

Total Goals: 725.
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings 2014-2015 Season

OK, I guess it's time for me to actually make my picks. Last year's bands strategy didn't work well at all, so I'll go back to flinging poo at the wall and hoping it sticks.

1. Cornell. Why? They're Cornell.
2. #26 Union. I would have had them lower until their NC play.
3. SLU. Just have this gut feeling that they're very underrated.
4. Colgate. Just this bad feeling that they're going to have a few bad injuries, or Goulakos's health may suffer.
5. Brown. Yes, I'm going to pick another shocker. I don't know why. Gut feeling again.
6. Dartmouth. The team's been building, and this has to be the time.
7. Quinnipiac. With the Jones twins gone, the jury's out on Peca handling it alone.
8. CCT. Not sure what they can do without Sexton.
9. Ylae*. Over the past couple of years, they've lost too much.
10. Princeton. New coach, time for rebuilding.
11. Hahvahd. They just can't seem to get it together.
12. I can't believe I'm actually going to be doing this, but the rest of my list is probably way wrong, so what the hey... RPI. They just can't get the puck in the net, and you're not going to get anywhere hoping for 0-0 ties.
