Re: St. Norbert 2013-14 - a new mountain to climb on the way back to the top

I was just wondering if any of the graduates from SNC last year are still playing?

Stroh is playing with Rapid City of CHL...

Cody Keefer after being waived by the Rapid City Crush was with the Mississippi RiverKings through November 2013.

I see that now… I checked out the box scores from this last weekend to see how Kyle Stroh was doing and surprisingly I stumbled upon this…http://chl.stats.pointstreak.com/box...gameid=2239306 …it appears Travis Bosch is currently with the Denver Cutthroats… Is that the same Travis Bosch that barely played at SNC?

I thought this was interesting. St. Norbert ranked No. 1 in D3 by the Massey Index. In fact, Massey has the top seven D3 teams in the west and nine of the top ten.

As a Plattsburgh fan, I'll play a few of those teams ahead of us in this "ranking" for my house !!

Which teams? Name three that you would be willing to wager your house over with your 30th ranked Strength of Schedule.

St. Thomas, River Falls and St. Scholastica for starters. Certainly wouldn't back down from the other, but would probably only bet my lawnmower on those. I have seen St. Thomas, WRF and CSS play before during this year and others. The SOS is gong to change over the next few weeks as always.

Re: St. Norbert 2013-14 - a new mountain to climb on the way back to the top

After a quick review, I noticed this Massey Ratings group must really follow D3 hockey. Ready for this:

Scholastica has won ONE of their last 6 games

&

St. Thomas has won ONE of their last 5 games

They're really paying attention. Of course, nobody who knows a thing about D3 hockey had these teams ranked that high in ANY poll. Be sensible.

Make that River Falls , not St. Thomas. St. Thomas is "on a roll" winning 2 of their last 4.

The top SOS Eastern team had a rank of 27 (Naz). At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke, but I guess they think they are serious. A lot of good teams out west for sure. One thing I found interesting, they believe Plattsburgh will lose less than 2 games the rest of the season, which leads all teams.

Perhaps this Massey computer has factored in that the west has gone 9-2 combined against the east in the last six final fours which could really weigh the results heavily in the west's favor.

Re: St. Norbert 2013-14 - a new mountain to climb on the way back to the top

I did a quick check and noticed something interesting about those games. In EVERY game, the Eastern team outshot the Western team, including a 41-18 advantage by Norwich over St. Norbert in 2011. Not saying shots on goal is the end-all, nor is it more important than the scoreboard. Just saying that the 9-2 advantage probably looks a little worse than it is.

If I have time, I will delve a little further in to the history and see if we can sway those numbers a little more !
