I think we'll be relying on a lot of "grinder" type goals from guys like J. Devin and Collins.  You have to hope that our more "high skill" guys -- think Esposito, Jillson and Roeszler -- will be able to continue the improvement that they showed toward the end of last season.

Given the depth on defense that we seem to have with Gotovets and Brisson being added to our returning group, I wouldn't be surprised to see Whitney get a fair amount of time at forward to add some scoring punch.

USCHO has us as 5 in their review.

Why: Where will the offense come from? How close can the new goalies come to filling Scrivens' sizable shoes? But that said, this is Cornell: "Mediocre" isn't in the vocabulary.

New starting goalie is most likely Garman, not Iles unless there's a need - I heard this from a player. We'll still have to wait and see how Mike performs under pressure, but he was able to hold the line last year when Scrivens broke, so I have a lot of confidence in him.

As to the offense, we'll just have to wait and see as well. These pre-season polls mean very little anyways.

INCH's ECAC picks lists us at 4, under the title of "PRIMED FOR A FALL". Iles is "IMPACT NEWCOMER".

The ECAC has a poll up on who will win the ECAC regular season. Currently it's 38-31 Yale over us.

We slip to 13 in the USCHO poll based on our clutch and grab dryland training.  One place better in the USA Today poll.

With Mercyhurst's losss, the Cornell women move up a notch to Number One in the USA Today poll.  The USCHO poll leaves them #2, with Wisconsin leapfrogging them to replace Mercyhurst.

Dropped to 14 this week in the USCHO poll and 15 in USA Today.

It's tough what a couple of wins will do to you.

[Jim Hyla]

Somehow we're still 19 in USCHO. The women are still 2. At least INCH had the good sense to drop us.

[Jim Hyla]

Via ECAC, Schafer on All-Acess. and Moulson mic'd against Montreal.

Also we're out of the top 15 in USA .... poll.

[nyc94]

Out of the top 20 in the Nov. 8 USCHO poll.  Tied with Robert Morris for most points (30) in Others Receiving Votes.  Yale up to third with five first place votes (out of 50).  Union at 12th.
