It's 31 out of 58 teams....that's below average. 4 of their 11 games don't even count in the PWR,with #43 UVM and #44 on the horizon its soon to be 6 of 13 or nearly half that won't count. I don't know what average is in CT but that sure ain't it anywhere else in the world.

You didn't factor in Yale grade inflation.

What if the kid in the USHL is putting up 1 PPG and the kid in the SJHL is putting up 1.1 PPG. You would recruit the SJHL kid?

Bad comparison. The differences in offensive production would be like the kid in the USHL putting up 1 PPG and the kid in the SJHL putting up 2.5. The difference in the offensive output has been eye-popping - enough to be unable to dismiss them simply because of their strength of schedule.

KRACH doesn't lie.

Maybe. If the kid in the USHL is a '90 and the kid in the SJ is a '94, its possible.

But I'm an idiot. I should probably quit my job, grab a vintage gerbe jersey, toss it on over my superfan t-shirt and sit in the cheap seats rippin the four loko's that I stocked up on since they are banned in the Commonwealth. No wonder El Pres hates you people! Viva la Stool!

No? Then why do we get...

The fact that Yale was even still on the sheet after a 180 foot goal and a shorty or two was absurd. With six skaters and no goalie they probably could've won the game.

You were down by what, a touchdown in the game?! BC was running a train up on Yale and took the foot off the pedal, Yale got some freakishly strange goals of their own with the deflections and now all of a sudden they could have won without a goalie and skating with an extra skater... sure sure sure.

You should be happy BC took it easy on them in the 3rd period.

I truly believe Yale is the best team in the country ...




...that comes from the state of Connecticut.
 
Re: Yale - The best team in the country?

Wow, 34 first place votes. Congrats to Yale on their first number one ranking ever in the programs history.

THIS. made my day.

Yale can have the number one ranking for the rest of the year for all I care. Doesn't make them the best team. Best record, sure.
It'll take a lot more for me to actually believe it...Sorry.

And maybe if Yale put up the same numbers playing a ranked team or two we wouldn't be having this discussion, but the only ranked teams they have played are the other ECAC teams with inflated records because they beat up on Harvard and Qunni
