Blah blah blah...
The ECAC is very good (you would know that if you had been paying attention to the NCAA hockey tournament in recent years), and no amount of spin cycle by you can change the fact that the Big Ten has already set itself up to be in good shape come next spring for Pairwise rankings.
"Blah blah blah" and "spin cycle" were about as intelligent of a response as I was expecting from you...
They are better than they used to be no question but one team in the top 16 of the Pairwise doesn't exactly sound like some dominant conference. Then again you are on here arguing that the BIG is a good conference so clearly you have a different definition of "good" than the rest of us.

Big Ten non-conference record : 32-17-8
Now stop making such dumb statements.
Lets take a little deeper dive into these numbers:
The NCHC is 4-2-2 against the BIG10 and that is the most important record.
The BIG10 has played ten games this year already against the AHA. The NCHC has played 2.
The BIG10 has played ten games this year already against the EZAC. The NCHC has played 1.
The BIG10 has played nine games against Hockey East. The NCHC has played 21.
The BIG10 has played 16 OOC games against teams in the top-20 of the Pairwise (.406 win %). The NCHC has played 22 (.477 win %).
You take AHA games and EZAC games out of the records and the BIG is 19-14-5 (.566) while the NCHC is 24-14-7 (.611).
The NCHC has played a much tougher OOC schedule so far this year and they still have a better winning percentage.

Off chance UND gets down by a few goals, can we say F it, go old school and drop some gloves?
They are absolutely terrified of this over on GPL. They keep talking about how we "bully" them. The victim culture that has spread throughout that program is incredible.

The program with one of the top five best legacies in all of college hockey : middle of the pack?
DELUSIONAL!!!
I thought this was the 2016-2017 College Hockey thread not the "Legacy" thread.

Drafted players rankings came out. Jost at 18 and Boeser at 24. Surprised by that a little. If these 2 are on the same line it will be a thrill to watch all season

The guy does come out and state his biases atleast. Hes a Canadian from Ottawa that doesn't get to see much much US hockey other than World Juniors.

What's so bad about Mankato? How are they so different from SCSU? It's not like Huntsville wants to join.
Agreed one of the best games I went to in college was a game against Mankato. Anyone else remember this?
That whole game was a battle.

Never know, maybe the kid just gets it. Even Toews stayed more than 1 year. Hopefully he can watch Brock enough this year and understand what an extra year can do in terms of development and preparing him to jump straight to the NHL and make an impact.
I think the biggest difference between Toews and Brock/Tyson in this regard is that Toews was here a year before he got drafted so Toews was only here a year after he got drafted. Who knows though... With these high-end guys you just have to take it a year at a time and enjoy every year that you do get out of them.

Bridgestone (with Broadway Street right there) is a lot of fun.
No further comment.Nashville would be amazing. All the bars are right down the street from the arena and that town is town is fun no matter what day of the week you are there. Also, don't even get me started with the food options down there....
I've never been into Bridestone but it seems pretty nice based on the pictures I've seen and there are certainly enough hotels in that city to support an event like this. Nashville checks all the boxes. I'd love to see the Frozen Four end up there one day.

I understand this is a pro NCAA board and all but some of these comments are really out there....London's top line would do "some damage" but hey they wouldn't dominate in the mighty NCAA right? Well Tkachuk and Dvorak were the top forwards for the U.S, along with Mathews, at the recent WJC...but yeah I know, I'm sure you all believe that even the WJC is a touch below the vaunted NCAA and their tough bruising style with there massive 25 year old Dmen who would crush those puny 18 year old Finns and Canucks...except that this U.S. U-20 team featured two of the best forwards from NoDak who shockingly were behind the depth chart of the top two players from London. How is that possible?!?!?!?
Link to the Bronze medal line up http://www.worldjunior2016.com/en/games/2016-01-05/SWE-vs-USA/#lineup-tab
Umm clearly London's top line would do as much and probably more damage then NoDak's top line did in the NCAA
If you don't think players develop in those 3-4 or however many years you are flat-out nuts (see: Stecher, Troy or Caggiula, Drake).

Now a team like London is every bit as talented as the NTDP, featuring 8 current drafted players and 8 player ranked in the upcoming draft, three of them in the top 20 and two of them in the top 10. There is no reason to think that they could not compete against a team like NoDak.
Every draft-eligible player besides one on the Canada U-18 team is ranked inside the top 100 (London has 6 counting Marner from last year). The Canadian team also had 3 guys inside the top 20 and plenty more in the 20-40 range. The result when they played they NTDP? It was a 10-3 throttling. A team that I think everyone would agree is better than London in the Canadian U-18 lost to a team that we beat pretty easily while treating the game like an exhibition and sitting 2 first round draft picks. There is plenty of reason to think that the UND team from this year would beat London right now. London might make it competitive in some games but I think UND would win a 7 game series every time.
This is a fun debate and I think it would be a lot more close in most years but this UND team was loaded.

Just a random look at the game between B.U., a very good to elite hockey program from an elite conference, showed that B.U. played their very best players (and started their top players) and yet still lost to the U-18s. They may be "exhibition" games but as you know, in college where few games are played, even exhibition ones are treated as the real deal. The reality is that this year's NTDP was a solid squad and did well against D-1 competition despite the players being several years younger. Yes you had that "16" year old "lightweight" go up against that "behemoth" 24 year old and the youngster not only survived but prevailed..
The shots were 45-22 that game with BU only managing 15 saves. I think UND was the measuring stick most of us were looking for and we beat them 4-1 without two of our best players in Boeser and Schmaltz while using 3 goalies.
I also think you have to factor in that 4 of the NTDP's games this year were against 3 of the bottom 4 teams in the pairwise and they needed OT twice.

Last year the B1G had 11 total games that weren't on a Friday or Saturday (excluding games over Christmas break) and every single one was on a Thursday or Sunday. Of those 11 games, 2 involved Minnesota and none involved Wisconsin. Seven of those games were non-conference games. We played more non Fri/Sat games than Wisconsin this year. So the talk about games on weird days of the week would have little to no impact on UND.
The reason we played more non Fri/Sat games than Wisconsin this year is because the only series we had at a B1G school this year was a Fri/Sun series against Mich St. when their football team was playing Penn State at home during the same weekend. This is kind of a big detail to leave out in my opinion.

then 8-5, then 6-7, then 6-6, then 4-8, then 5-7
And the year before that they won the PAC12... There is a reason that coach got fired.

Doesn't pretty much every semi-decent team make a bowl game in college football? I know the Gophers made one last year, which is a joke. I know there's huge money in bowl games, but from a fan's perspective I never understood the consolation prize handed out to teams for winning any bowl game besides the National Championship.
Well I don't mind all the bowls because it means more college football (which I'm obviously a fan of). ASU did only win 6 games last year but like I said it was a down year for them (they had two 10 win seasons in a row before that) and they should do a little better than that this year. My point was that they aren't actually some scrub school at football either and that football is actually a big deal there.

And let's be honest, they are never sniffing the FBS playoff and major bowl games are doubtful.
I think you are underselling their football team a little bit. They have won the PAC12 in the past decade (2007) and they were in the Sun Bowl (3rd best team in PAC12/ACC) just 2 years ago. They have made a bowl game each of the last 5 years and even though they had a down year last year they do seem to be in a pretty good situation going forward.

Saint Cloud might get pretty mad that they no longer have a conference under this scenario...

There original Hooters is actually on Gulf to Bay in Largo. It is not near the water, however it was remodeled so there really isn't special about going to the "original". There are tons of Hooters here, and honestly I prefer Winghouse (exact some concept with slightly better food in my opinion).
You are right. I guess I was lied to.

If you want the beach environment dinner experience I would recommend Frenchys Rockaway Grill on Clearwater beach. Great seafood and awesome atmosphere right on the sand
I was going to recommend Frenchy's. Another place I'd recommend would be Crabby Bill's. We went tried it out last year and had a great time. If you go fishing down there they will cook up your cleaned fish however you like. The original Hooters is also on Clearwater Beach if anyone wants to check that out (I haven't been).

Danny Kristo and Nick Mattson also played for the NTDP. Both played 2 seasons there.

I couldn't find the 05-06 to 08-09 rosters anywhere for some reason so that is why Kristo and Mattson weren't included. No excuse for missing Gersich though...

Really though, how many NTDP kids have we had contribute recently? I can only think of a few. I like finding guys like Cags in other places.
Out of the past 5 years only I see 3 current players (Keaton Thompson, Ausmus, Wilkie), 2 former players (Forbort, Grimaldi) and one future player (Evers) that play for the NTDP. So you are right that is not a lot.

Way to spin cycle it!
The reason they are all ranked is because they have been playing AHA teams to inflate their records. Penn State has played a pretty pathetic schedule so far. The average pairwise rank of the teams they have played is 40! The average rank of the teams UND has played is just under 15. In fact every team in the NCHC has played a tougher schedule than PSU so far (UNO is the lowest with an average opponent Pairwise rank of 30). Five of the eight teams in the NCHC have played an equally tough or tougher schedule than Minnesota who has had the toughest schedule in the BIG with an average opponent Pairwise of 23. The only other BIG team to play an above average schedule (avg opp Pairwise of under 30) is Michigan (28). The BIG teams have pretty much all played pathetic schedules so far and the reason most of those teams are ranked is strictly based on their records.
