Looking for some thoughts on D1 nationals in Wisconsin. Never would have expected that final. After round robin, I was convinced we'd see a Lindenwood-ASU rematch. Anyone agree? Both teams seemed...
Really? Buffalo lost their entire team except one guy and they're still a top team in the East.
It seems like the East is way more competitive this year but that the level of the top teams has...
They're smoking teams early on, I know UMSL lost a lot of guys, but can anyone beat them this year? And who else has been impressive in D1 so far (in any region)?
Who should make the Final 4 this year for D1? By my count there's 15 new D1 teams. Can any of these new teams go deep at nationals?
In my opinion, Lindenwood looks as stacked as they've ever been....
How about the top D1 teams? From what I know...Lindenwood isn't losing anyone from this year's championship team. But is Gouge returning or any other new additions going to make them even stronger?
...
Stopped going to AAU 5 years ago and am an ardent NARCh supporter, but whatever assumptions you want to make to make your argument seem stronger, go for it.
Keene and Roux could play NARCh pro...
I'm all for questioning this roster but you do go overboard. Keene and Roux played last year, won the gold, and are both sick. You overrate Doran and Kane, they are absolutely not way better than...
Arizona State really, really impressed me. I got a chance to watch many of their games and they blew me away. I didn't expect that at all.
Their game against Buffalo was particularly impressive...
Agreed, key players missing has less of an effect on the top 4 teams. For teams below them, they can be devastating. I know you guys missing Thiefault is huge. URI missing Nelson is huge. ASU seems...
Buffalo is missing Felber and Gasiewicz, which makes a big difference with only 6 skaters now. ASU has 7 skaters and is missing VanBuskirk, probably their best forward. Lindenwood lost Gouge, the...
Damn, you guys have third lines? My team doesn't even know what 2 lines looks like, haha. So, I'll bite. Who are you missing?
As long as you guys have Thiefault, Boyd, and 6 skaters, you're fine...
I've seen like 2/3 of the B teams going to nationals this year play. I've seen a good amount, maybe 15 of the D1 teams who are going. I'd like to know how many B teams would beat "a bunch" of D1...
UNLV dropped out of D1 so I'm sure that's what has caused the delay. They were the 4th team to not accept their D1 bid and only 3 alternates were named. So, with little notice they've had to fill...
D1:
Lindenwood
Michigan State
UMSL
Buffalo
I'd be very surprised to see anyone else crack that top 4, unless any of them somehow meet in an earlier round.
Wow, great ECRHA analysis. Anyone from other regions with good info like that on their D1 teams?
Oh yeah. What the **** was I thinking? Fixed it.
Regular season and regionals over: an opinion on how teams look heading into the national tournament...your thoughts?
TOP 10
1. Lindenwood
Obvious pick.
2. UMSL
Haven’t been impressive...
Well, at least we got some d1 talk going.
Michigan State-Buffalo argument is a good one. Tough call. A lot of people want respect. I think southeast was shown enough respect having all 3 of their...
FAUplayer: When I said quality win I was only referring to top 10 teams that's why I didn't count FAU's wins over NC State as "quality," only their win over Rhode Island. But it's not like I'm not...
for some d1 talk....
1. Lindenwood (13-0-0)
Proved they're #1, they lose Gouge and still beat Buffalo, Michigan State, and Central Michigan. 2 challenges from UMSL and UL Lafayette this coming...
good points about mizzou and ucf. these rankings were done before both teams lost a few this past weekend though. didnt want to re-do them already since im sure things will change a lot after this...
some D1 thoughts, rankings. probably going to change a lot after next weekend in Chicago.
1 Lindenwood 10-0-0
Still the team to beat. Picked up Johnny Mac now so they’re even stronger. Did they...
looks like an interesting weekend around the country in d1:
yesterday, buffalo tied west point and then it took a huge comeback for them to beat towson 6-5.
asu went 4-0, beating up on most...
d1 power rankings from an interested observer. realistically who might be the best 10 teams in the country. i dont care if youre unbeaten in a weak region, ill take a 6-6 team in a tough region if...
