Polls 2017-18

[ugarte]

Between just Notre Dame and Cornell (the two teams getting almost all the #1 votes), I think Cornell has a good argument for being the #1 ranked team. We haven't beaten great teams, but we also haven't lost to bad teams. Can you really rank a team that's lost to Sacred Heart at home above Cornell at this point in the season?

This was the same week we tied Ottawa at home, currently 12-12 against Canadian teams.

Holy fucking Christ, winning is better than losing.

[upprdeck]

Ottawa pulled the goalie and scored on one of its 13 shots..  much like the first Miami a totally dominating game we let get away..

I dont know if we are the best either.. Still I have seen NorthEastern play in person and we are better than them and they are 11th so if we are top 10 quality and have by far the best record who is to say?   I think there are a dozen teams with probably a bit more elite skill guys on offense, but are those teams as well rounded every night which is the one thing you can say about this team so far,  the Clarkson game being the one blemish to showing up every night and giving your self a shot to win.

Never thought I'd see this day in my lifetime.

There's still plenty of hockey to be played before getting too comfortable. The ultimate goals is win the Frozen 4, not win a USCHO poll (which we all know is BS and pointless).

This.  FF is all that matters, not anything before then.

Winning the ECAC title also matters.

And how bout winning 2 regional games? Snake bit since that great win over BC in '03!

Winning the Frozen Four kinda guarantees we win two regional games right?

@CU2007- If we win the national title, you'd actually be upset if we lost the ECAC title along the way?

Let's keep our eyes on the prize, people.

Not at all, but if we don't - it would be nice to hang an ECAC championship banner. My point is that both matter, not that a national championship wouldn't make up for losing in the ECACs

The polls are nice eye candy, but it's all about the Pairwise for me.

Until Ottawa is accepted into Division I they are irrelevant.

Worth noting that a week ago in Potsdam, Harvard and Dartmouth put nine past Kielly into the Clarkson net.  They managed one this weekend playing a not-very-heathy Cornell team at home.

I for one, am very happy to look over at these ceramic dalmatians we found for cheap at the Strength of Schedule flea market. I'll polish them every day this week.

I'll give you my empty totemic fetish when you pry it from my cold, dead paws.
