Three ECAC teams in the top 15 plus two HMs out of 12 isn't bad. If only RPI (ratings not the safety school) followed up the ladder so nicely for Cornell.

I know it will be Sneddon, and I know I'm biased, but still I'm pretty sure who ECAC COTY ought to be.

ben03 · February 21, 2005, 04:50:33 PM

age, there's an echo in this thread too ... ::nut::

KeithK · February 21, 2005, 04:56:14 PM

Yes, but this echo has better formatting.

ben03 · February 21, 2005, 05:01:19 PM

not going to argue that :-)

ganderson · February 21, 2005, 05:02:26 PM

Yeah, yeah, my bad.

jy3 · February 21, 2005, 05:03:39 PM

lol i can never get a good format like that

usa today isnt in yet. I am impressed by the #2 ranking. this season more and more echoes of two years ago

usa today still not in.

Pete Godenschwager · February 21, 2005, 05:22:45 PM

Looking at the USA Today poll, I had no idea Colorado had a hockey team. Go Buffaloes! :-P
On that note, didn't USA Today used to spell out the whole name of the university/college? They still do with Boston College and Dartmouth College, but the others are just "Minnesota" and "Ohio State".

Edit: On the link above, to the actual USA Today site, the full name is not used. However, the USA Today poll that's linked on USCHO does have the full names. Odd.

It's called using

Preformatting

KeithK · February 21, 2005, 05:28:24 PM

Not to mention "College of the Holy Cross".

JordanCS · February 21, 2005, 05:35:16 PM

I like the respect the program is getting, but I have to feel we are being overrated. We have played a pretty weak schedule, especially the last few games, while the WCHA teams are beating each other up. If I had to put us somewhere, I'd put us around 4th or 5th. If I had my way, I'd like to win the ECAC, and go to the tourny as a #1 seed, but as the 4th number 1, so we can kind of sneak up on people. I'd much rather have opponents underestimate us than overestimate us come tourny time.

ganderson · February 21, 2005, 05:44:22 PM

I have a feeling that once the PRW has shaken out we will be 4th-6th. It would be great to go into the Tourney as a #1 seed, but if we do it would definatly be the 4th #1.

I too would love to win the ECAC, but my greatest fantasy for the season would be getting to the Frozen Four again. I think that would justify all the respect the program is getting (and of course would keep us nice and visible for recruiting purposes.)

P.S. I hate that there's no spell checker on eLf. :S

billhoward · February 21, 2005, 06:01:36 PM

There is a roundabout spell checker if you write long missives (like I create anything else? ) in Word, which also allows you to actually be able read what you're typing if you no longer have eagle eyes, and then paste it into ELF. (Making sure Word doesn't mess up any open or close quotes in the process.)

I wanted to be first to post the poll but I really wanted to put the formatting in (*and* make sure it works by hitting the Preview button) so you got there first. If you put [ PRE ] (no spaces) before the poll tabular material and then [ /PRE ] (no spaces) after it, you've got it formatted so it's easier to read.
