Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '17-'18

A belated Happy New Year All. Too much warm weather in New Zealand, so haven't been much inclined to watch a lot of hockey lately.

My picks:
1. Wisconsin
2. Boston College
3. Clarkson
4. Colgate
5. Minnesota
6. Ohio State
7. St Lawrence
8. Cornell
9. BSU
10. Northeastern

This weekends games between SLU & Colgate and SLU vs Cornell should provide clarity for the middle of the table. I think Clarkson will confirm their top #3 ranking.

"Since you're a day ahead of us, give us a heads up on what the score is of these games. Maybe I can find a sportsbook to take my bets."

Wouldn't you prefer the winning numbers for this weekends Massachusetts lottery instead? :-)
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '17-'18

I feel like I'd rather know if BC is ever going to win a national title so I can stop doing this to myself every year lol

If BC would change the school colors to a shade of green their chances at a title would increase exponentially. :)
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '17-'18

Do women's teams put ☆ on the back of their jerseys like the BC & Wisconsin men's teams do?
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '17-'18

They do! All BC teams put the stars on the back of their jerseys showing the number of national titles they have.

If bc were to win the NC this year, would it be fair next year, to have a star on the back of Watts jersey? Think about the opposition players trying to chase her with that blinding light in their eyes...:eek:
 
Re: USCHO Poster's Poll: '17-'18

He says with tongue in cheek. Vic has seen more CCT women's games than I have. I wonder if we have 2 ☆ on our jerseys.

I have not noticed the stars on the back of Clarkson Jerseys but I like the idea. ;)

Do you not like BC that much that you type bc? Where is the love? First time in 4 years that there haven't been any "cupcake" posts. I never thought I'd see that. I may be most proud of that stat than any other this year. Could it be that there are the same cupcake schedules out west or did "bc" catch up with respect? Knowing most of the posters it would be the former rather than the latter.

Good luck to all the teams here on out. It's not a "cakewalk" for the top 4 at all.

I'll say this, BC's 2nd half schedule is tougher than we've ever had. I think like 12 of our last 15 games or something were against top 14 teams.

By contrast, other than playing each other, Colgate and Clarkson have REALLY soft season ending schedules. BC will easily leapfrog those two teams by winning out.
