sioux7>5 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Does anyone know when the first pre-season poll will come out? Where do you think the Sioux will be in that poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 No idea when the polls will start showing up but I will go with: 2nd in WCHA 5th in NCAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux7>5 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think that the National Polls will go as follows. 1. Wisconsin(Only cause they are defending Champs) 2. BC 3. UND 4. The Goofs 5. Maine Just my opinion but I might be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Curious Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think that the polls will have UND ranked much lower than we would all like to see. Most people think that UND lost too much talent to be competitive this coming year (for example remember the Blackhawks coaches about Toews playing for UND this year). Also with some other teams not losing as many individuals or with much higher ranked recruiting classes, I expect UND to hover right around #10 in the NCAA and probably 4-5 in the WCHA. I know that UND lost some good players, but as most of us on this forum think, they still have enough to be competitive. Maybe a initial low rank will relieve some pressure and provide some motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Last year's coaches poll came out on Oct. 4 or 5, so it will probably be out in about 10 days or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Hockey Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think that the polls will have UND ranked much lower than we would all like to see. Most people think that UND lost too much talent to be competitive this coming year (for example remember the Blackhawks coaches about Toews playing for UND this year). Also with some other teams not losing as many individuals or with much higher ranked recruiting classes, I expect UND to hover right around #10 in the NCAA and probably 4-5 in the WCHA. I know that UND lost some good players, but as most of us on this forum think, they still have enough to be competitive. Maybe a initial low rank will relieve some pressure and provide some motivation. Actually UND returns three of their top five scorers from last year, which is more than MN, Wisc, DU, and CC. UND only lost one defensemen and has one of their goalies coming back (who in my opinion is already a proven goaltender). Not only that, but UND also returns their 12 freshmen (lost Alexander) which helped anchor a team to the Frozen Four last year. Despite the losses, it wasn't such a bad offseason comparing to the other teams. Even though the Gophers have a great recruit class coming in, they still lost four of their top five scorers and still don't have a solid goaltender, although the Gopher defensemen do look very solid for this year. Wisconsin returns zero of their top five scorers. With Elliott back, they will be a competitive team but one player can't lead a team to a national title.
