I won't say the word "f*" (or its variations) more than 100 times during the F5.

If you put any faith in in team rankings and bet on playoff games you will lose your shirt.

Joey Diamond will be a thug.

And Onion Man will pick against Lowell.

Ok, this might be a little late to start this thread, and I'm not sure if there is another thread like this. But my idea is a thread where no arguing or discussing is involved, no smart alec remarks, just any BOLD predictions you got to make from now until the Champ is Crowned.


I'm picking a ff of Overrated and a ff of Underrated teams for the tourney.

Overrated teams - Miami, Union, Boston College & Dartmouth.


I've already gone on record saying I think MSU will take at least a game from Miami, but I think the CCHA is so weak, MU might still win their conf tourney. Where they will really be exposed is in the NCAA tourney.

BC might stumble before the tourney and drop in the PWR, but if they don't, they won't live up to their rating in the Dance.

Union's on the bubble, and I'm not sure they're going to get in, but if they do, they won't go far, one and done for sure.

Dartmouth looks to be just outside the bubble with a shot at getting in. I don't think its going to happen. I don't think they'll get close.



Underrated teams - Mn St-Mankato, Wisconsin, CC and well, I can't hardly go with all WCHA teams, though I think it would be warranted, but I'll go with Providence.

All 3 of my WCHA teams being in the same conf is going to make it hard for all of them to move up from where they are before the NCAA tourney, so I guess all I can do is say that

CC will be a surprise in the WCHA conf tourney, but probably will still come up short of getting into the tourney.

Wisconsin should make a good run at moving up into the Tourney field of 16 and if they make it, they won't be an easy out.

Mn St-Mankato could win the WCHA Conf Tourney, but if they don't, watch for them as a contender to be making the FF.

Providence is a long shot to get into the Dance, but I think they'll surprise in the Conf tourney and make a run at it. If they do make it, well, it was a stretch calling them an overrated team, so I am not saying they'll do much once getting in, though.



Conf predictions - CCHA will disappoint and WCHA will dominate. Simple as that.

I'll admit these are not very precise predictions, but they're on record now.
I'll make some more precise predictions as well at a later date.

Provincialism rears its ugly head once more. Three of four overrated teams teams are from the east, but all three underrated teams are from the west. The ratings are clearly prejudiced in favor of the the east and against the west. Frisbee, anyone?

The WCHA will only have 1 team in the Frozen Four

Miami will lose to a Hockey East team

NCAA will put the regionals in all big cities that arent in the middle of nowhere next year

Call it Provincialism if you want, but its not.


I simply let the evidence speak for itself.

Last time I spent any significant amount of time in this forum, was the 2004-05 season. I predicted that 4 WCHA teams would make the Frozen Four and that the CCHA would only win 1 game in the whole tournament. And guess what happened?!

I was accused of being an idiot and a moron, AND also of being provincial as well. But is it being provincial simply to recognize that one region or one conf or one division is simply stronger???

No, of course not, you are just being ridiculous.


And btw, you did notice that Miami lost and Providence won. Right?! Both were considered upsets.

How is a PC win an upset? They are hosting UNH who placed 7th in HE.

Michigan runs the table in the CCHA playoffs. The AHA autobid is seeded 16th and Michigan is assigned to Grand Rapids as the 15th seed. They beat MN 5-2.

You had me until that last part. This thread is about bold statements, not miracle wishes.

Rather than simply breaking a Tech player's collarbone as he did tonight, Andrew MacWilliam will break a Husky in half on Saturday.

He basically did last night.

That's crazy talk right there, that's what that is.

Crazy?! Or BOLD?!

UNH placed 5th.

the polls have them at 7th nationally I believe

You're correct. HE playoffs are messed up!
