Via ECAC the loss of Yale's 2 coaches.

SB Nation preseason All-ECAC Hockey First Team. No surprise, no CU.

Every one of those guys except Sweetman is arguably a pre-season Hobey contender.  No shame in missing out this time, it's an exceptionally strong group.  Also, this is not the official team, it's just some guy's opinion.

Yes, there is shame. We're not getting those guys.

Another set of 3 preseason All-ECAC teams with no CU players.

So, safe to say we can expect the hockey season's success to mimic football, basketball and lacrosse??

Nothing good here.

Sure there is - no pressure to live up to expectations. Confound them instead.

I tend to be way too optimistic.  But I've always thought that an underachieving team + losing a lot of key players = chance for unexpected success.

I tend to be way too optimistic.  But I've always thought that an underachieving team + losing a lot of key players = chance for unexpected success.

My equation would read: underachieving team + loss of key players + system buy-in = near-certain unexpected success.

(I.e., what happened in '97, without the prior underachievement but with enormous graduation losses.)

If the team buys in, we'll be in Placid; if not, at least feeble Princeton (all eleven coaches and a great majority of the media voters placed them last) nearly assures that we won't finish in the cellar.

We've just got to play them one game at a time.  And the Good Lord willing, things will work out.
