mksioux Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Any objective observer would find nothing wrong with Minnesota being #1 in the pre-season poll, even without Kessel. They're a frozen 4 team that returns pretty much everything. The other three frozen 4 teams lost considerable talent. There's no need to be snide about it and contribute it all to Kessel. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Let's just remember that everything is about Kessel. In case you haven't heard, Kessel will be wearing 26. I think he may have called a news conference to let everyone know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Copy that fightonsioux, all WCHA D-men engage target 26. Quote

If you are speaking Chinese that is some pretty well thought out Chinese. Nice take. Denver should be the preseason number one based on the fact that they are holders of back to back National Championchips. Quote

Goon Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) There's a difference? Goon - that was almost a compliment to MN. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lol, are you trying to give me a coronary arrest. Notice I stopped short of doing such, it would have made me feel dirty and feel the need to take a shower... Edited October 4, 2005 by Goon Quote
Goon Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Goon, you gotta admit, that number one ranking (as meaningless as it is) is based on much more than just Kessel. Both of these squads were Final Four teams last year, and seemingly Nodak lost more than they gained while Minnesota gained more than they lost (take Kessel out of the equation and Minnesota gained more with Stoa, Frazee and Wheeler than they lost in the outgoing seniors) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wait, your right, fly under the radar, I like it. I never thought of it that way. Now I see the logic and the genius in your point. I will now retract my statement and say that Minnesota is the number one team in the nation tied with Wisconsin and Devner and Make B.C. number two. I like UND's chances more and more. Quote
Goon Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Just exactly how many votes does Barry Melrose get? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They forgot to tell you. I heard its three. Too bad Cornell can't play up tempo hockey and and they are too slow to skate with the top teams or play on an olympic sheet of ice. Yesh. Cornell, for rich, snobby smart people; sure are a bunch of whinners. Hum sounds like entitlement hockey to me. Quote
sagard Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I can't believe Wisconsin isn't ranked higher. I think they have a real good shot this year. I know in years past they have choked at the end of the year but right now I would pick them to finish first or second in the WCHA. That pick may come back to haunt me in about five months. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree about UW. They are my pick on USCHO to win the WCHA. They have an easy WCHA schedule and their style leaves them very unlikely to squander the games they should win. I'd still love to see the Gophers draw them in the semis at Milwaukee or in the regional in Green Bay. I think they can be outgunned. Quote

goalie65 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 cc should be closer to the top they are pretty good except they tied lakehead yesterday because they put their third string goalie in Quote
7>4 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 CC - Ohio State series this weekend should be an early indication as to how good Ohio State is. CC's top line of Sterling-Sertich-Patrasso will be one of the best in the nation this year. Quote

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 It's intersting to see how one series can change things (pretty drastically in some cases). It was great to see the Gophers loose to Alaska Fairbanks. And Denver to Maine. It will be another exciting season! Quote
siouxnami Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 http://www.uscho.com/rankings/ 8th <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fairbanks with a first place vote? Are they still asking Sid for his opinion? Quote
rochsioux Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Normally I disagree with INCH because they don't give UND enough credit. However, todays ranking gives them too much credit. INCH Power Rankings Having seen all four games there is no way they are #2 right now. Miami outplayed them, the MSU game was close, and UND pretty much controlled both games against a weak NU team. I see improvement from the team from game 1 thru game 4 and expect to see continued improvement throughout the year, but it is not realistic to rank them at #2 just yet. The next six games will give us a pretty good idea of where they stand early in the season, I hope they can at least go 3-3. If they can stay healthy and continue to improve I think this will be a very fun team to watch in Feb/March/April. Quote
southpaw Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Fairbanks with a first place vote? Are they still asking Sid for his opinion? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how does denver still get a 1st place vote? Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I think that the USA today poll might be a little closer to the mark with the Sioux at #6 http://www.uscho.com/rankings/?data=usatoday&week=poll Quote
