2019 - 2020 AUS Thread

[Rob]

We are supposed to get some nasty weather for Friday.

So in the latest top 10 rankings the AUS has one team while Laurier (12-11-3) is ranked 7th??

Can we all agree that this new system is terrible?

That's why the OHT35 exists!

 

[rethinking]

7th is about where Laurier might finish in the AUS!

Well, they’re 6th in their own conference.

According to an article in the Journal Pioneer, Luke Kirwan and Nick Shumlanski both left UPEI earlier this season.

I've noticed that Marcus Cuomo hasn't played since the game vs UPEI on the 18th of Jan, was he injured in that game?

I would put my money on Dal!

I was wondering about Kirwin ...

RED ARMY EAST, I said might finish 7th, so I certainly won't argue about Dal finishing higher.

U deM 7-3 over the Island.
Forby has some work too do! Up next UNB, who blew them out 11-0, the last time they met at the AUC.
UPEI 3-8-1 at home.

The boxscore has it as 7-1 (shots were 27-24 for UdeM - yup, 7 goals on 27 shots - Hofley having a tough season), but yeah, in a game where you can win and get yourself into 5th - you stink the bed and now have to play UNB before going on the road next Wednesday night to either UdeM or SMU. Not good.

I think the injuries and fatigue are catching up to them, especially Hofley. I think he has played every single minute for them this year. I wonder the last time an AUS goalie pulled off that feat??

Sure, there were issues with the old media-voted top-10 - some members didn't actively watch enough games, or even keep tabs on the league beyond box scores or standings. And yes, Laurier has played very well in the new year, beating some higher-ranked opponents in a pretty torrid hot streak. But, holy smokes, they are not *close* to the 7th best team in the country.

Matthew Mancinia is a third year goalie who played 10 games last season. For some reason he hasn't had a single start.

He’s been injured all season.

Guess I didn't even notice the new backup.

They are lucky Hofley has stayed healthy , the “new backup” last played in the Island Jr.C league ..

I'm afraid that OHT35's rankings are also questionable. It would seem to pretty well ignore recent results ( last 10 games ) when looking at UNB, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Maybe, others disagree?

All games have equal weight. It is not a "power ranking", which skews toward recent results.

Edit: posted during warmup, he started

*checks AUS scores*

“Wow, SMU beat St. FX 9-3”

*checks box score, notices 168 PIM*

“Makes sense”

Yowza, lots of goals scored by the winning teams tonight.

Looks like the Quarter Final matchups are set too... StFX vs UdeM and UPEI vs SMU.

They have adjusted the score sheet, we are up to 176 mins now.
