Official 2006-2007 College Hockey Thread

[MrFeelNothin]

My bad for trying to have a little fun.

And I set myself up so easily too!!!


Let me help you out:

Still bitter?

[JordanIB]

Hehe. That HC win was something else. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I just hate all the crap that gets thrown back and forth on USCHO; I just wouldn't want this to get off on the wrong foot with "Hey UNH fans, remember this!?"

I'm sure you didn't mean bad; maybe I was a little quick to react.

I just love that there's a college hockey thread here and wouldn't want it to devolve. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

LET'S GO RED!!

I'm a huge hockey fan up in Vancouver, Canada. I know nothing of college hockey other than the Frozen Four. So educate me. Who are the favourites this year?

[MaxxDaddy]

JordanIB, I know your pain. I went to my friend's dorm room to watch the game with our friends. We were all decked out in our Lynah Faithful shirts and glued to the screen for the entire game. It was an incredible game and we gave the eventual national champs all they could handle.

We've lost a lot of good guys, but hopefully we can have a decent year; USCHO projects them finishing 4th in the ECAC I think. I'll be following them via USCHO all year. Go Big Red!!

[disjunction]

I'm the worst kind of Big Red hockey fan, I usually start following them around playoff time. So I'm very excited about this thread.

Can you guys tell me a little bit about what to look for with this team?

[WLVRYN]

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say this, but when I went to Michigan (92-96), hockey was the best sport to watch in person. Yost is awesome for hockey, and I love the metal bleachers. The fans are rabid, and you had to camp out in the Union just to get season tickets (where in football everyone gets them, and basketball at the time was based on seniority). Also keep in mind, that my freshman year in college was the first year of the Fab Five, and Desmond Howard had just won the Heisman, so I think that's a pretty big thing to say. I still try to get to Yost for a couple of games per year.

Lived in Boston my whole life up until a year ago when I moved to NYC. My fiance went to BU for grad school and Jack Parker is a family friend, so I'm rooting for the Terriers FTW, and moving to NYC makes me slightly less bitter about them building the Agganis Arena, which is beautiful but nothing will ever have the ambiance of Walter Brown Arena.

What's that?
BC Sucks! BC Sucks!

my alma mater doesn't have NCAA hockey

The club hockey is among the best time on campus though

Hideous performance at East Lansing last night by Michigan. 3-1 lead at the end of 1 leads to a 5-3 deficit after 2 and a 7-4 loss. Red hasn't beaten MSU in his last 9 tries (although about half of those are ties). We should not be ranked at all, IMO, but if we win tonight at home we probably still will be. Name recognition can carry the team for now, but it won't save it in the Pairwise Rankings.

Haven't had a bad season since I started following them, this might be it. Given the way sports went here last year, should've happened last year.
