Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

Now Dartmouth, that's another story. I really think the Big Green's record is not indicative of how hard they are to play. They have a handful of outstanding players (Stacy, Ottenbreit, Allen, Tebano, Forfar - I'm open to others, I just know these) who would be taking regular shifts at Wisconsin, Minnesota and Boston College. Anyone familiar with this Dartmouth team is nodding their head right now. I think Dartmouth might overplay those five in order to make up for depth. But I'm not a real expert on the problems at Dartmouth, just guessing from watching them play a few times.

Agreed, there's some real talent on that team. It seems like Chemago has dropped off a bit from last year, which makes a difference.

1. Wisconsin -- being unconvincing against St Cloud doesn't hurt as much as being unconvincing against Merrimack.
2. Boston College -- see above. The second game against Harvard of which the elders spoke could be where the timelines diverge.
3. Quinnipiac -- I fancy them to beat Minnesota right now. D is solid, F is getting the job done.
4. Minnesota -- Problems with offense and while they kept goals against down it was against teams that don't score much.
5. Northeastern -- Not as strong in net as the other top teams but leaving a trail of crumbs and frosting behind them. Beanpot will be fun.
6. North Dakota -- despite that hiccup against Kato which leaves them needing four points from the Minnesota series to hold onto third place in the WCHA, this is clearly a big game team.
7. Clarkson -- Only a fool lets their opinion of Clarkson be influenced by their games against St Lawrence
8. Bemidji -- ouch, tough weekend. Third place in the WCHA probably gets them another shot at Minnesota
9. Princeton -- Should not have lost to Harvard, but there were a lot of Denna Laing tributes at the game which I can understand changing the atmosphere. And got the job done solidly against Dartmouth.
10. Harvard I suppose -- 6-2 v Colgate and 4-1 v Princeton in the last few weeks versus a stomping by Dartmouth? Well, no-one else has a stronger claim to this spot I suppose.

I've seen games where she's been playing very well, but the skaters have been outplayed.

Here is the top ten poll with some things overhead in practice for each team as players are on the bench.

1. BC
"Unless you fell on the treadmill, no one wants to hear about your workout."
2. Wisconsin
"Guys follow me around like I got a sign on my back that says free donuts."
3. Minnesota
"I hate it when my hair looks perfect before I put on my helmet."
4. Quinnipiac
"I wish I could fast forward time to see if it all works out in the end."
5. Clarkson
"Do I look fat in these breezers?" "Don't answer that!"
6. Northeastern
"Hey, you need to replace your chapstick with a glue stick."
7. UND
"Abracadabra...Nope...Still a ******."
8. Bemidji
"Today, I finally got a kiss...Yeah, thanks Hersheys."
9. Princeton

Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll

THE TIMELINES HAVE DIVERGED. It's like Sliding Doors but with Megan Keller instead of Gwyneth Paltrow. Or that Star Trek where they come back from the future and meet themselves in the past and decide not to lose to Harvard in the Frozen Four.

1. Boston College
2. Wisconsin
3. Quinnipiac
4. Minnesota
5. Northeastern
6. North Dakota
7. Clarkson
8. Bemidji
9. Princeton
10. NOT HARVARD. BU if they win tonight, Colgate if they don't.

I don't think we've ever had no teams "also receiving votes" since starting this last year but that's really a technicality with two teams tied for 10th.
