  • Merrimack Offseason thread - preseason rank 10th again? I think not

    A friend just pointed out that there's no pre-season thread for the Mack...a little late but better late than never.

    Where do you think they'll rank us in the pre season poll this year? 10th again? haha.....A certain Rodney Dangerfield phrase comes to mind

        I say they get ranked in the pre-season 7th but I think they'll be vying for the number 4 spot and home ice come the end of the season. They were only 2 points (1 win) out of hosting a set of playoff games at Lawlor last year when everyone thought we were going to finish in the basement.

          Probably 6 or 7, although I'm pretty sure I'll have them higher.

            If I had to guess, I would say they rank us 7th or 8th. A number of HE coaches all mentioned that they had to game plan for MC last year, in particular the strategy where we left an offensive player hovering at the opposing blue line.

            A lot of people close to the team feel like it's the most talented team MC has ever had.

                I agree with the 6-7 predictions. I think UML, UMA, and PC have 8th,9th, and 10th locked down.

                    To be fair, that's not a particularly astonishing feat given the parity of Hockey East, however...

                      That's great but it's really not saying much.

                      Totally agree with jcarter in saying that 8-10 are locked down by UMA, UML, and PC. Those three teams will be particularly dreadful. After that, I think the middle of the pack is a bit cluttered with UVM, NU, BU, UNH and maybe MC battling for the last two home ice spots. My guess is MC will get a few votes at 5, a few at 7, and a few at 6 and average in to finish 6th in the preseason poll.

                      The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                        Everyone in the league without home ice except for PC was within 4 pts of home ice. It was a crazy year. I wouldn't put too much stock into how close they came to home ice last year.

                          I'll guess the coaches poll will put them at 6th. I'll bet USCHO will put them at 5th, since they're going to overcompensate for ranking them 10th last year.

                            So who winds up 7th ?
