It'll be interesting to see how this team reacts to the ranking. Yes, players on the team have won trophies here but now they have much bigger roles (mainly F & G).

Granted, the D hasn't changed much since our title win in 2009-10 but there is no Muse behind them. The biggest game at BC Milner has played was game 1 of the 2010 HE Quarters. The top 3 goal scorers are all gone from last year.

Should be yet another nice early test for BC. It would be great to win the Denver game and have a huge advantage over any WCHA team in the PWR

So glad Muse is gone.

ool to the people giving BU, Minnesota, & Yale 1st place votes

[bignick33]

How the hell does BU get a vote?

How the hell does BU get a vote?

They did lose to PC in impressive fashion

[twballgame9]

It perplexes me that BC can look pretty bad against denver, and not fall below them, when they started at 1 and 3 respectively

Because rankings are based on everything and not just one game.

[The Knife of Asia]

when you say "everything" are you saying the new uniforms are helping us? also, are uniforms a factor in the bcs rankings?

Ex. A: Oregon making the NC

[bignick33]

BC is back up to 1.

CC is an interesting team, not sure how good they could be but they sure did bushwack BC in the tournament last season. It was totally unexpected BC gets blown out, 8-4.

Esp after scoring 10 seconds in and I thought the route was on. They had 2 players get incredibly hot and dominate like a Jordan or Bird would in Bball.

[The Knife of Asia]

I watched the BC Yale game in the NCAAs the last natl championship year. We beat Yale in a scoring fest, #9 on Yale was a young underclassman and was dominant. Clearly the best player on the team even back then. I haven't followed him since, but the guy has to be a monster at this point.

I posted this on TOS but it belongs in this thread as well.

I'm not all "Yay what an underdog story" for Merrimack

This is going to be their top scorers' ages by season end:
Flanigan: Sr. 23
Stollery: Sr. 24 (just turned 24)
Heywood: So. 23
Todd: Sr. 25
Collins: So. 22
Bly: So. 22
Bigos: Jr. 23

I understand Dennehy has to do this to some extent but this is ridiculous and based on his younger classes it's not changing. This isn't an "underdog story" this is a team that has players who are 6 and for Todd 7 years older than competition.

I don't get your point....if it's so annoying, then BC should just go and get them. Ok, they are older but they aren't doing anything illegal, and these kids still aren't anywhere near as highly rated as the guys we are getting. All I can say is that Dennehy is doing a hell of a job there, and they clearly deserve that ranking. Maybe BC should change up their philosophy of recruiting if this proves to be an issue for years to come.

BTW, their best recruit still hasn't played yet because of an injury, but I'm pretty sure he's an older recruit too (Josh Myers). I enjoyed watching his highlight tapes on youtube.

Obviously it isn't against the rules, just like getting "commitments" from middle schoolers but it should be.

No I'd like to keep the amateur in college hockey, I don't want York recruiting these 21 year old idiots from Canada, I'd like to have the team be somewhat like students. These kids might not not be as highly rated when compared against their same age but if you add 2/3/4 years onto them it might alter it slightly.

Listen, I know some of these smaller programs need to wait on kids for a year but it's a program wide issue for Dennehy. His program is improving and should no longer need to resort to this, but he is. It's the main reason I don't give him as much as others.

It would be like having a team of Dave Shinskies. For football it was a one off time, for Dennehy it's how he recruits.

I think that your just bitter that they are number 1 right now. BTW Shinskie sucks, so it's not the best reference. BC will get their shot at the mack in January, let's see what happens.
