By far the best quality stream we have seen thus far to boot, maybe they see this as a way to win over parents from the great white north. Watch your kids games in HD for free, wish everyone would jump on that band wagon.

It is good. Northeastern also has a good production. Wisconsin also had one of the best combinations of video quality, camera position, lighting, etc., but their video requires a subscription.

These are all reasonable questions (except the bit about arrogance -- BC itself isn't arrogant, and fans of successful programs are arrogant no matter where they come from).

They have certainly had the USA National Team resume over the years and seem to have it all together more this year than ever before but I would debate if the arrogance of a "successful program" although prevalent is yet justified (for BC WOMENS fans) by what is hanging in the ceiling of the arena. In fact if the way they talk on this board for the last few years is the result of teams that have never really delivered kind of makes you shutter to think what if they ever win. How many ways can you say insufferable.

In truth I dont even care about paying 10 bucks a month or game but one blurry camera with no announcers or clock...

I join in ARM in giving a shoutout to NU's video. Really quality stuff.

I am finally caught up with updating last week's poll and inputting everyone's polls this week, by the way.

Posters Poll will return at noon tomorrow for Week 9, so make sure you get your votes in, especially those of you waiting for the Cornell/Colgate game tonight.

Actually the defending champs--Clarkson come to Madison this season at the end of January... Which means next year the Badgers will travel to Clarkson.. Expect another big crowd in Madison for this match up!

And UW is going to New Hampshire in a few weeks.....

Whew, Badgers, don't stress yourselves out too much!

Yeah. Winning big over UNH doesn't mean much. Certainly no one that wants to be ranked #1 would play them for a weekend. And can you imagine how weak a schedule would be if it had the Wildcats on it three times?

I close the shutters on Grant all the time.

We're forced to play UNH; Wisconsin chose to!

Besides, I'd rather play UNH 3 times than Minnesota State 4.

We're forced to play UNH...

And now, you can act all superior, because you swept them for the first time since … gee, when was the last time you swept those lowly Wildcats that you're forced to play?

Re: Fun With Numbers '14-'15: USCHO Posters Poll, Pairwise What-Ifs, and Other Goodie

1. Boston College
2. Minnesota
3. Wisconsin (for now)
4. Quinnipiac (want to wait to see what happens this weekend before I put them any higher)
5. Clarkson
6. Harvard (Should probably drop them further but I put SLU into top 10 instead because I'm not convinced yet the others are better than Harvard)
7. Bemidji
8. Mercyhurst
9. Cornell (Starting to get back into the swing of things although I think Colgate lost that game last night more so than Cornell won it)
10. St. Lawrence (Managed to get the OT goal Clarkson couldn't)

Interesting ranking of Women's D1 on myhockeyrankings, I can't say I would disagree too much. Curious what the math is on this site.
