The only real difference I see is TRF starting out at 3 at A, rather than at 1 where they belong. Champs should start the next season out at 1 out of respect. After all, the best evidence of team quality is the games that are played and the champ won the last one!Goalie41Dad wrote:Isn't this ranking basically the same as the final rankings last March?
I have not compared the 2 rankings team by team, but it's pretty close.
If they aren't the best they will get figured out in short order.

These teams are not the teams that played at the X, therefore should be ranked according to expectations like all other teams

I'm a believer in results-based polling. There is no reason to move TRF from #1 until we receive evidence otherwise. Blake may very well be the best team in A. There is no actual evidence of this right now. Maybe on Sunday after they play CDH, yes, but right now, no way.
Now hold on.pepperpot wrote:The evidence that Thief isn't number one is because they graduated there top three forwards and Mrs. Goalie. They aren't the same team that won last year. Not even close. Sorry homer. Who will be the team from the north this year? Not Thief.
I live in D2.
Blake lost 2 of its 3 top scorers. We can play this game all day long. My point is that none of it matters until they start playing, so there is no harm in pulling through rankings from the end of season.
TRF is not the same team they where. The big missing piece is the goal tender. Watched them scrimmage and they are still good but not as good as last yr.
Warroad's recruiting from the last few years will make them the strongest team up north. They are big and strong. 3 of the top players came together from Cambridge I believe a couple of years ago and they have the 2 Canadian sisters still ..
