true, but Mack is better than UVM and Maine.........by a lot

I agree with this...but the coaches did not (picked Maine over Merrimack)...Also, some very good teams have lost to Maine and UVM up in Orono and Burlington even when Maine and UVM have had off years recently. See North Dakota, etc. It's tough to sweep a two game road series no matter who the opponent.

The negativity on this thread sucks!

I don't know, it it not so much "negativity" as it is "real-ativity". #1 in in PWR? Sure, it makes me smile, but doesn't really mean anything this early in the season. That's not negative by any stretch!

Precisely my thoughts. Makes me smile, but after last season, nothing but championships will get me real excited. Sure, I'll be proud of the program if we have another good season, but only championships in March and April will be an improvement.

I agree that it is early in the season and polls don't mean much in terms of the real outcome. The reality is that many felt that the Warriors would fade into obscurity once Da Costa left. Even the title of this Thread suggests some form of connection. It appears that this is not the case, and IMO this year's team is better and has more to prove. I believe that although the current polls may not mean much, the Warriors will still be well positioned in the polls come next March.

Sorry but has good as MC is they are not better than Maine by alot, they are better but not by alot. In fact if Maine can develop a #1 goalie they will battle MC tooth and nail at your place. Will be a fun w/e.

So, any predictions on how the Warriors will do this weekend against Northeastern? I would like to predict a sweep but I believe that the Huskies are going to make that extremely difficult. I see a couple of real tight games, probably one or two goal contests. Penalty troubles are going to be the difference IMO.

easier wins than you might think. Northeastern does not match up well with MC

I hope you are right. How has Northeastern's goalies been doing??

I think a split this weekend. Both teams win at their barns Merrimack 4-2 Northeastern 3-2.

Power Play was pathetic for the Warriors last night. Let's just keep jamming the square peg into the round hole. Eventually the corners will wear down and it will sort of fit. Last year we had the experiment of having mostly Freshmen on the second PP unit, essentially useless. This year it appears that some players are getting opportunity while others are not, the wrong players IMO. Skew the performance however you want but the special teams need to produce, and last night the PP had plenty of opportunity to win the game, and didn't.
