    Re: This Week in Hockey East

    1,2,3- BU, BC, NU

    Gap

    4,5,6, 7 UNH, PC, UVM, Maine

    Gap

    8. UConn

    I think this year it's all about the tiers, how teams finish within those tiers I have no idea. The first tier I have are the Boston teams. All 3 are capable of winning the regular season and postseason championships and I wholeheartedly believe this. BC and NU are similar in that they both have tons of depth and NU has Schelling who I believe will be Goaltender of the Year. BU has huge discrepancies in talent. They have the high end players (Wakefield, Poulin, Kohanchuk, etc) but than it really drops off from there. After watching the first 4 games, I can say BU's biggest weakness right now is EV play and biggest strength is special teams, which once again I attribute to this discrepancy in talent/finishing ability. Also, BU is playing without Poulin until the 2nd half of the season which makes the discrepancy even more pronounced as, due to a lack of depth, players who were previous 4th liners who got maybe a shift a game are now playing on 1st/2nd lines.

    The next tier once again I think is a total toss up in terms of where they finish. They all have their respective strengths and weaknesses.

    My gut says UConn is going to finish last this year and have trouble competing with the talent and depth of the 7 other teams.

    Regular Season and Tourney Winners? BU obviously

        1-BC
        2-NU
        3-bu
        4-PC
        5-Maine
        6-UNH
        7-UConn
        8-UVM

        The comments about tiers seem pretty accurate. The Boston schools will most likely dominate. Providence I think falls into the top of the next group with Maine playing better than they have in awhile I could see them finishing as high as 4th. UNH takes the last playoff slot with UConn and UVM not being in contention.

        Tourney Winner: Northeastern

        Has to be after their play this weekend.

          I'll wait and see what they do against conference opponents. Great start, no doubt, but it's a long season

            It's back! Scoring will follow HockeyEast rules - 2 points for correct answer - no shootouts! Anybody can play, but you will only be counted in the monthly and season stats if you participate every week. The weekly schedule will be Monday - Sunday. Anything else?

                Picking Northeastern for Hockey east after this Weekend play ? That is way out there.. Played Syracuse tight and took a 3rd period to
                finish the game. Colgate is maybe average or below for this year.. Missed a 5-3 power play in the 3rd ? Time will tell. Lets play BU,BC,Prov
                a couple of times.. Long season.

                      I think BU is the class of the conference but a healthy margin, even if Poulin is out for a while. Hopefull she returns quickly. I also think PC will pass up BC this year


                      I am going to go with;

                      1. BU
                      2. PC
                      3. BC
                      4. NU
                      5. UNH
                      6. Maine
                      7. UVM
                      8. UConn
