The BU Terriers mens ice hockey have fallen two more spots in the polls this week to #16 despite a 4-2 win last night in Burlington over Vermont. They have fallen to #16 in the USA Today poll behind three fellow HE teams(BC #3, Maine #13, Merrimack#15). This recent fall may upset some Terrier fans as the team got the the two points they could get this week and still fell in the polls behind HE rival Merrimack who the Terriers prepare to play Wednesday night barring any cancellation of postponement due to the projected blizzard for the game. These current rankings should give the Terriers all the motivation in the world to come out playing hard against Merrimack to prove everyone wrong including these "experts" who vote in the poll. This team will not panic as last year's team did but they know they got away with one last night as they got outshot and outplayed but still won the game. Coach Parker was extremely harsh on the team as was sophomore forward Alex Chiasson. Some guys simply were not giving their best effort and it almost cost the team 2 points in the conference standings. Here is how the rest of the the rankings worked out.
1. Yale- These idiots remain number one after a win over big bad Harvard who has so many drafted players oh wait no they don't.
2. North Dakota- My #1 team in the nation
3. Newton University(Boston College)- Hate them but they have been playing pretty damn well
4. New Hampshire- They continue to win but as the schedule heats up the they usually tend to fade in the second half.
5. Minnesota-Duluth-
6. Denver
7. Michigan
8. Notre Dame
9. Wisconsin
10. RPI-I hate these cheap
11. Nebraska-Omaha
12. Miami
13. Maine- This team has been extremely inconsistent and fading fast. They need to turn around soon or they are in big trouble and could miss the tournament all together.
14. Union- Overrated. I hate ECAC teams
15. Merrimack- I hate them even more but they have been playing well lately. Wednesday night's game is huge
16. BU- We will be back in the top ten by the end of the season I hope but we would be the last team in the tournament as of now according to the USCHO.COM
17. Colorado College
18. Western Michigan
19. Ferris State
20. Alaska
