Comments on: Rankings, Vers. 3.0 (Dec. 30) http://blog.njhockey.org/2007/12/31/rankings30/ Jonathan Yardley on New Jersey high school ice hockey Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:02:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: MontyWhat http://blog.njhockey.org/2007/12/31/rankings30/#comment-3417 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:55:09 +0000 http://blog.njhockey.org/2007/12/31/rankings30/#comment-3417 I feel like Monty is just riding the credit it piled up after getting to the state finals a couple years ago. In the SCT Ridge spanked them. With 3 losses I don't think they should be ranked above Randolph. The state seems pretty even this year though.

Ridge even played their JV goalies against Pingry. The only games to be put towards ranking are games that actually count towards a teams record. pre-season means nothing most teams roll all there lines and play everyone on the team.

Not really a 'blood bath'. Presumably you weren't there. Ridgewood played Highlands in a pre-season scrimmage. 5-4 ( or was it 6-5?) in a see-saw game. Not really a ‘blood bath’.

GR was clearly the stronger team - and that's a fact. That's all. Kevin,

That’s all.

At the very least check the team schedules and results before posting. Highlands never played Ridgewood and if they did it would be a blood bath.

Northern Highlands shut out GR 2-0 and their only loss is to Ramsey who beat and tied your division leader PC. They obviously belong above GR in the ranking. Clifton also beat Glen Rock 2-1, so I don't know where you come off knocking Clifton. I can't find fault with your "similar to NH" comment on Verona. This puts Verona above GR in the poll, where they belong. Kinnelon, NH and maybe Ramsey would be ranked above Clifton in an overall Public poll putting Clifton no higher than #10. GR, Ridgewood and Verona would not. Your opinions seem to be based only on the few games Ridgewood has played, while Jon looks at the "big picture". Before you flame his ranking you should take a broader look at the games that have been played. IMO, his opinions have WAY more credibility than yours. @ Jeremy: Sorry, but you’re the one who’s “way off”.

"We" (Ridgewood) have played several of the teams in your list. Here's the story: 1. Glen Rock - best team we've played this year. Not as strong as last year, but nevertheless solid. They beat us twice, comfortably. 2.Northern Highlands - nothing special, but quite balanced and capable. Narrowly beat Ridgewood 3.Verona - similar to Northern Highlands. 4.Clifton - #7 Public School? Must be joking. Weakest team we've played all year - and we've played them twice. Happy New Year to everyone, JJ Confirmed my suspicion about these “rankings”….your assessments are way off. “We” (Ridgewood) have played several of the teams in your list. Here’s the story:
