INCH Power Rankings
Not much movement
in this week's edition of the INCH Power Rankings – especially
at the top – but were not about to say we had it all right
from
the start. A few teams, like North Dakota, earned additional
respect in the first big week of action, while others, like Michigan
State, saw their stock fall like, well, stock.
Take a look
at how the Inside College Hockey editors and staff think the contenders
stack up – and let
us know what you think. Send us your own Power Rankings, with
comments, and we just might publish them.
| 1. |
Denver |
– |
Omaha's
not Yost – sorry for the reminder, Pioneers – but
it's a tough place to play. Two impressive wins. |
| 2. |
New Hampshire |
– |
Only DI
team to post 10 goals this weekend against a team outside the
MAAC. |
| 3. |
Minnesota |
– |
The Twins
might have stolen some of the Xcel's energy, but the Gophers
had plenty. |
| 4. |
Boston
University |
 1 |
Friday's
shootout win counts as a tie, so Saturday's win counts as the
program's 1,200th. Follow that? Either way, Terriers take the
Ice Breaker title. |
| 5. |
Maine |
 1 |
Next time,
be sure the cupcake Canadian team you invite is really a cupcake. |
| 6. |
North Dakota |
5 |
Two games,
five goals, three assists. Freshman Zach Parise might have liked
Buffalo enough to lead his team back there. |

First two
goals of the season scored by Eaves – Patrick Eaves. |

Michigan
State |

Shut out
to end last year (vs. CC) and start this year (vs. DU), the

bubble team moves up in the rankings as Ohio State drops out. |
