Hockey East 2020-2021

UMass is going to win it all this time. It won't matter who their goalie is, it's their fate.

It'd be nice, tired of continually hearing from the posters here and at CHN who go on and on about how the NCHC is the toughest conference

 

[mookie1995]

Ewing theory?

 

[SCSU BlackandRed]

It'd be nice, tired of continually hearing from the posters here and at CHN who go on and on about how the NCHC is the toughest conference

Do you think the 4 straight National Championships and the best non-conference record since the realignment has anything to do with that? Oh and two of your top schools getting steamrolled by the second best team in the NCHC back to back?

Not saying other conferences aren’t good, including HE, because they are but if you have any doubt that the NCHC is the toughest conference, you aren’t paying attention.

Just to restate ... UMass is gonna win this thing, I don't have a single iota of doubt in my mind.

 

[Lemonade]

Just to restate ... UMass is gonna win this thing, I don't have a single iota of doubt in my mind.

I hope UMass wins. Love how they play. Great depth. Great coaching. They work hard and play tough nose hockey. No superstar primadonnas and play as a team.

Agree with everything you've said. They always look like the best-coached team on the ice.

It's tough at the top, with DU, SCSU, NoDak and UMD ... and looks like that second best team got steamrolled itself in Pittsburgh

UMass national champions. 5-0 winners over St. Cloud State.

 

[The Freds]

Massachusetts, the great state of hockey tonight. Congratulations to the Minutemen.

You called it Chuck. If we ever meet in person I’ll buy you a beer

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!

All credit belongs to "Mikey" Nostradamus, see the Effingwoods Hockey Almanac thread.

 

[NCAA watcher]

Congratulations to Steve Metcalfe, for winning it all his first year in the job (I knew Bertagna was a drag). Not only is he rookie of the year Commish, but also was the straw that stirs the drink, reminding Carvel just as he was losing focus, to just "[w]in your games and don’t worry about this!!" which Carvel proceeded to do, as instructed.

ROFLMAO ... I think I alluded to Commish Press Release's key role in this on the UNH thread.

Massachusetts, the great state of hockey tonight. Congratulations to the Minutemen.

That's the Commonwealth of Hockey to you

 

[Split-N]

That's the Commonwealth of Hockey to you

Indeed!

I just updated my Hockey East spreadsheet with every teams' 2020-21 season results. Since Hockey East began BC, BU, Maine and UNH remain the top four teams, with PC and UML also above 0.500:

However, over the past 10 seasons it looks different. BC remains at the top and even increased their winning percentage, but there is a change among the other top 3 as UML and PC move up to 2nd and 3rd and BU slips to 4th, with NU above 0.500 in 5th, while Maine and UNH drop down below 0.500 in 6th and 7th:

BC moves back to the top and BU remains in 2nd, with PC slipping to 3rd and NU just edging out UML for 4th.

I was frankly surprised to see UNH still hanging in there at a lifetime HEA .550 winning percentage.

There were a lot of very good seasons in between the recent ones AND the crappy mid-'80's records.

Maybe Coach Umile wasn't so bad after all ...

Umile had a heckuva run overall, he just had a ceiling that he couldn't break through, much like Len Ceglarski at BC.

better coaching would have had Krog not hit the post.

Trying to judge a coach on a single game elimination is folly.

Having said that, Chuck, retract that last sentence. Whatever credit he gets is mitigated in large measure by his selfishness in hanging on and then forcing his successor, which cost UNH a decade.

Fair take. Good comparison, too. Neither won the D-1 title, as you point out. I think they both made it to four Frozen Fours, and it looks like Umile made it to two FF Finals, as opposed to one by Ceglarski. Both were preceded primarily by coaching legends who they played for earlier at the same school - Snooks Kelley (Ceglarski) and Charlie Holt (Umile).

BC hired Steve "Count" Cedorchuk in between Ceglarski and York. UNH hired Mike Souza after Umile retired. If only UNH can hire the next Jerry York as MS7's replacement in the near future, it will all have been worth it ...
