Title: What are your expectations?
Post by: Towerroad on October 04, 2015, 07:56:53 AM
Ok, it is time for the start of season annual polls. What performance by the Mens Hockey Team would lead you to say. "Yeah, they did pretty much what I expected this season"

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Meh team + loss of a lot of key players = opportunity for unexpected success.

That is what most of us would hope for.


As of this post more than a quarter of those responding are expecting a finish of 9-12 in the league. Maybe the ghost of Facetimer is stuffing the ballot box.

Cornell, with 6 NHL draft picks, has talent.  In the ECAC, only Harvard has more draftees.

Done in LP.  If they compete all year on the bubble for a bye and get to LP, and they play like they're trying and they have a plan, and they improve as the season goes on, I will be well satisfied.

For me, a sweep in the Florida Hockey Tournement, as that is the only time I get to see them.

I can't imagine this team scoring less than last year's team.  Not impossible, but I have to imagine they will score a few more goals. If the defense and goaltending remain solid, and we score 10 more goals this season, we could be a top 4 ECAC team.

We'll be fine after a mid-season trade for Cespedes.

Cole Bardreau is going to go down as one of my alltime favorite players, but I'm pretty sure he missed finishing on at least ten good scoring chances last season.
