I noticed the same witt RMU getting a split with Quinnipiac and they lose the weeks prior 2 first place votes.
I dont feel whoever voted for them knows anything about hockey. which begs the question
what qualifies the pollster. Its for fun and not to taken seriously.

These polls are a joke. Air Force gets over 40 votes and they've gone 0-1-2

like other people have mentioned I think it has to do with name recognition. I imagine it goes down like this: "I need a 20th team let me pick an AHA team, oh air force always wins I'll pick them"

Well, I guess if you want to be a blind homer then, fine. You're right. I've been around enough coaches, games and seasons to know you're overreacting.

Ed is right, I see it all the time from coaches after a loss.

So let me get this straight....I was overreacting because I write about Red's comments against RIT in an RIT thread, but it is perfect fine for Chris to use those same comments as a talking point in his AHA blog?? I see how it is. Got it.

Early season polls are as much about reputation than actual play.

Exactly. The polls are always meaningless in terms of NCAA selection but are very interesting none the less and great for talking about!

Well our PWR is 13... so lets just not lose any more games this year and we'll be set for the NCAA tournament.

No, you have every right to comment and others have every right to comment in response. I'm sorry that you're so sensitive that it offends you.

No, I'm not offended at all. I'm just pointing out the double standard you and Chris have.

This will also be the first time PSU see 11k fans that want to see them embarrassed.

Which reminds me....

Can we all agree that sexual abuse scandals aren't funny and ought not be used as fodder for PSU-directed cheers this Saturday?

Not only are polls meaningless at this point of the season, but PWR is truly useless after only one weekend.
RIT could, in theory, win all of their remaining games and still fall in the PWR by feasting on AHA opponents late in the season while other top programs are winning against WCHA, CCHA, and HEA teams.

Well spread the word as much as you can. And if it starts up, don't encourage it.

Polls should be done away with and all of the teams put into conferences and divisions like pro sports.

A poll is something you hang a referee from... Too Early?

It will be interesting to see how RIT does against the Purps now that they finally got that monkey off their back of not beating them.

Speaking of which I attended the Mercyhurst/Niagara on Saturday. Few observations…

Things I noticed he most was what I noticed against Ottawa was the officials letting a lot go on the interference end, but kept it pretty fair. Niagara scored both of their goals off quick kind of back door passes that were one timed into the net. Both goals were really the result of backside defenders caught napping. Both teams did great jobs in front of their own net, really nothing all night except when a weird bounce came off a face off and a Mercyhurst forward ended up all alone in front and somehow stuffed it by Chubak for the only Laker goal of the night. Chubak did make 2 big time saves.

Both teams really packed it in down low. I know it’s early so I hope that not all we see from them cause it was kind of boring. It just kind of scares me that all we are going to see is packing it down low and low scoring boring games in this league. Hope we do not. I left that game feeling about how I did when went in and that is that both these teams like RIT are just as good as Air Force. RIT has just as much talent as anyone and can defeat these team. It will come down to who plays the most consistent hockey.

Other interesting notes. Was one of the few good student sections I seen at a Niagara game not against Canisisus. Which is typical, students get in for free and show up till Basketball season starts, maybe with the NHL on lockout they will show up some more. Niagara also has removed all most every trace of their women’s hockey program which they disbanded this year. Even the women’s trophy’s and awards are no longer in the wall display case leading into the arena from the lobby. And can you believe Niagara is charging $12 to $17 a seat! I can get into a minor league baseball game here for less…

Not RIT related but of local hockey interest, article about Naz'z new D3 team in the DnC today. I thought it was a typo when it said they currently have a 35 man roster, but I don't think it was since it was followed up by they want to get the number down to 30. Big freaking team

About 9% of their male student body???

If the same were true at RIT, our hockey team would have about 950 players!!!

i agree totally. the trouble is that we will have a ton of fans at the game who are not as likely to listen to the crew's input on something like this.

You're more likely to see some dumba** hold up a tasteless sign than hear a cheer about it.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where we should/can park for the groundbreaking tomorrow? Seems like U-lot will either be off-limits or full.
