I agree that the CBJ 95 is a talented team...but how credible is their website postings of wins?? I know for a fact that our team beat them twice and yet they show they won one game and lost one game???? Makes you wonder how many other postings on their site is correct.

FYI...Cincy won the first two games against CBJ 95's and then CBJ won the last two games. They will play each other again in February to "break the tie."

All of the postings on the C95BJ websites are accurate. The one game in question is the 5:30 PM game on October 8th, in which the Blue Jackets were up 5-2, and then for the third period, apparantly because of additional ice time, the Cincy 95 time keeper, instead of having a regulation 3rd period, decided to put up a 24 minute third period! At the end of what would have normally been the regulation period, the score was C95BJ 5, Cincy 4, which is the score reported on the C95BJ websites. During the extended time period (4th period?), with some ugly officiating, Cincy scored 2 additional goals, hence the 6-5 score reported on the Cincy 95 website. I would think that the 24 minute period, which was in clear violation of USA hockey rules (Rule 637), would result in that game to be striken from both team's records.

Actually that is not true. The score at the end of regulation was 6-5. The extra time was added to the clock because there was still time left on the curfew. This added time was agreed upon by both coaches. It was suppossed to be an extra scrimmage for fun, unfortunately it turned ugly.

I'm not sure what the accuracy of the game scores are, but it appears cbj 95 has only lost 1 game in the last 2 month's which appears to be the championship of Silver Sticks AA.

And the thread was predictions on AA teams.

I have not seen any mention of the Columbus IN Flames season on the Squirt AA predictions. They are in second place and have been they only ones to at least get a tie out of Dayton. They also did well in Silver Sticks, losing in OT to Stongsville in the A final and made it to the semi finals in Forest in the added entry tournament.

No offense, but you asked . . . A tie with Dayton is a good tie, but it's one game and it's not a win. And losses to Cincy's 3rd and 4th picked Squirt teams don't help the cause. One of those Cincy teams was recently pounded twice by the Capitals and the Capitals are routinely pounded by Cincy's 95 team, the Phantoms and the Blue Jackets. And frankly, asking why a AA team isn't being mentioned in statewide rankings when they chose to play in Silver Stick's squirt A division sort of answers your question. Strongsville only gets a mention because they are near the top of the CSHL, but the league isn't that strong. Put Dayton in the CSHL and they win it just like the BTHL. Put Cols. IN in there and you are probably 5th behind N.O., Strongsville, Parma and Shaker. Sorry, just the facts.

So, I ask, why is CBJ 95 AA and Gilmour AAA not included?

If CBJ 95 was in either BTHL or CSHL they would win either and would most likely, based on their record, be a top 2 team in EEAHL as they have split with your favorite Cleveland and have beaten Cincy 3 out of 4 so far this year.

I'd be willing to move that grade to a "B", however any talk of donuts must surely come from the Sudbury Legend "Tim Hortons"

Sorry Card, I have been busy. Thanks for the "B" but that won't even get me a Timbit. Anyhow, after doing my research, CBJ95, Gilmour, Cincy and the Phantoms all appear to be about equal -- "on any given day" type of thing. They all seem to split with one and other, except the Phantoms seem to have Cincy's number, which is odd. So, not to take the easy way out, but you can substitute CBJ95 or Gilmour in for just about any prediction regarding Cincy or the Phantoms (by the way, are they Cleveland or Youngstown?) If I had to rank them today, I'd go CBJ95 or Phantoms then Cincy, then Gilmour.
