I feel like NU is in for a letdown, just like the first period and beyond against north dakota after entering the tourney as hot as anyone.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread. Predict and Win Eternal Glory

OK, but think of how another coaching change would impact recruiting from a long-term standpoint. Would you rather start back at Square One (where we were when Whitehead was canned), or would you rather trust in a great coach like Gendron?

The best thing that happened to UND in the post-season was losing and tying in its conference tournament. It turned out to be a helluva wake-up call because they just ran over everyone after that. NU just happened to be first in line.

Re: Hockey East Preseason Thread. Predict and Win Eternal Glory

I know 90% of the post was in jest, but why do you have Merrimack so high? To finish top 4 they might have to beat BC in Conte (gasp)

I'm guessing he chose Merrimack because he's showing allegiance to the other 3 Catholic schools. ;)

For whatever reason I was browsing conference schedules and take a look UMass. If they lose more than 3 games in OOC (4 if you account for their assured loss to Lowell at Tsongas in OOC) it would be pretty embarassing

2x CC
1x Army
1x QU
1x Princeton
2x ASU
1x AIC
1x Hunstville
Then tournaments with likely opponents of QU and Minnesota.

When given the chance to avoid weighing the conference down PWR......... well I guess we'll see.
