USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

I'll stick with the Pairwise (top 5 Pairwise identical to top 5 KRACH):

1 St. Lawrence
2 Wisconsin
3 Minnesota
4 Clarkson
5 Minnesota-Duluth
6 Colgate
7 Boston College
8 Quinnipiac
9 Northeastern
10 North Dakota
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

what's the big deal? StL & Colgate play CHA teams, if they lose you can take it out on them next week

1) StL - last undefeated team, and their only blemish is from Clarkson
2) Wisco - will have to wait for StL to stumble before regaining #1
3) MN - can't complain about being #3 when you have only one line that can score
4) UMD - has two lines that can score
5) Clarkson
OK, time to get out the dart board, any of these teams are capable of beating anybody, but not likely to win 3 in a row like it takes to win the NCAA
6)UND
7)Colgate
8)Quinnipiac
9)Frankiln Pierce :o
10) BC

geography students will note these last teams are ranked from west to east, as good a way as any

2. Minnesota... for now
3. UMD
4. SLU... for now
5. Clarkson
6. Boston College
7. North Dakota (would beat SLU)
8. Colgate
9. Whoever

Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

Maybe, or maybe not. We really won't know until SLU (possibly) plays one or two of these teams in March. I moved them up because they're undefeated on the season, and in the last five games they haven't surrendered a goal. And in the last ten games they've only given up two. This is very impressive, even against relatively weak competition. Meanwhile, Minnesota registered two ties against a UND team that I had ranked No. 8 the previous week (and they were No. 9 in the USCHO poll). So I think there is some justification in switching them at Nos. 2 and 3. And since Minnesota swept Minnesota-Duluth in their series I left them behind the Gophers...despite their impressive split with No. 1 Wisconsin.

Right or wrong, that's my rational.

Agree and don't believe they would beat UND for that matter. However, their last 10 games are truly impressive! I would also venture to say that they could possibly have the best 1st line in the NCAA.

There I would disagree. Being the homer that I am, it's hard to imagine another line anywhere this year besting the Gopher's top line, which has Kelly Pannek centering Dani Cameranesi and Sarah Potomak. Together they are averaging 5.29 points a game, despite Minnesota's much tougher schedule.

That is very impressive. UW's top line is averaging just under 3 pts/game.

Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

Hockeysbest made an appearance in the pollster poll? :eek: It must be on his /her bucket list, either that or it's the apocalypse.;)
It must have pained him/her to have to put Minnestashta so high in the poll. And he/she appears to be a Midwest elitist to boot, so I guess that is something to be thankful for. :D
Speaking of what to be thankful for...

1) Wisconsin - Safe spaces from just about everything. http://www.rightwisconsin.com/opinion/daily-takes/uw-madison-students-want-a-safe-spacefrom-amazon
2) Minnesota - Their first line.
3) St Lawrence - That Viggo Mortensen is an alumni.
4) UMD - Harvard assistant coach.
5) Clarkson - A freshman from the Czech Republic.
6) BC - Keller and a Harvard decommit.
7) Quinnipiac - Their arena.
8) UND - Lisa Marvin's recovery.
9) Colgate - Schedule.
10) Northeastern - There was something in the cupboard after Coyne left.
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '16-'17

The St-Lawrence line is averaging close to 4.5 pts per game which is very good. I can't dispute or disagree with D2D however I did say "possibly". It would be a lot of fun to watch them go head to head!
