Interesting that he's one of only two returning Hobey finalists.

[Greg Berge]

Yeah, though for an ECAC defensemen to have a shot at it, we'd have to win about 30 games even before the vote.

[melissa\'01]

most recent poll has us holding steady at 8 with a few changes around us. this is nice to see since we have yet to play - unlike a lot of other schools.

[Greg Berge]

Pleasant surprise.  Often, ECAC teams slip a slot or more each week idle.

The USCHO poll for 10/21 is out.  Cornell holds at #8.

The USA Today is still at 10/14.

Cornell jumped from #8 to #6 in the USA Today last week, and since then among the 5 teams above them: Maine, Minnesota and Denver have all lost while BU tied UVM.  They might even move higher when the USA Today comes up later today.

nope dropped to 9 in usa today

Apparently the voters were not impressed by the Red-White :-P

[Adam \'01]

Cornell Vs. Cornell, sadly, is probably more impressive than Cornell Vs. York.

[ugarte]

Wel, the offense looked sluggish. . .

[Greg Berge]

By December 1st (only 40 days), the voters will have 9 games (3 NC), 4 in the pre-season top 15 (OSU, Harvard, BU, BU)

By January 1st, they'll have 13 games (7 NC), 5 or 6 in the pre-season top 15 (above plus Maine and possibly OSU again).

FWIW, Hockey Digest's preseason article (adam Wodon) puts cornell at #6...the only ECAC team in the top 10.  UNH (#2) and BC (#5) are the only other eastern teams ranked.

The article says, in part re: cornell..."if they can find a sniper, they can make the Frozen Four."

[Greg Berge]

Poor word choice by Adam, to say the least.  I assume he wrote it quite a while ago.

Somewhat surprised how little BU fell. If Cornell had posted the same record against the same competition, they'd probably be out of the top 15.

And we are now #7 on USA Today, up two spots for a 9-1 win over York    It is great to see we are still getting the benefit of the doubt on both polls.
