Speculation, speculation, speculation...

I hope Adam can help us, otherwise we are just whistling Dixie.::whistle::

I hope he responds. But, in the meantime...

If we are arguing about the arcane corners of the NCAA rules then the Red and White game cannot come quick enough.

LGR!

Agreed. I can't wait to retire the "Off Season" thread.

Looking forward to lighting a candle in memory of the thread...

That means we have 6 games against ranked opponents (7 if we face Minnesota-Duluth) and 8 more against teams that also received votes. That's nearly half the regular season schedule.

Which is not really that big a deal considering that half the teams in College Hockey recieved votes in the poll.

Don't get hung up on it.

Also, I believe Notre Dame started last year ranked number 1 and feel significantly throughout the year.  Some of those ranked opponents we're scheduled to play will likely move down (though I could certainly see QU or CC moving up).

Just curious. I was checking out the twitter account of RPI coach Seth Appert which linked to that of Julie Robenhymer. Who is in Cornell's net in her tweet from yesterday?

Think it was Ben Scrivens based on other twitter activity I vaguely remember seeing recently.

That was my guess too.

The founder of both the 1989 and Still Waiting... Blog and the Union Hockey Blog created a blog network dedicated exclusively to covering ECAC programs. It launched today. It should be a good platform for increased exposure of the league.
