Re: Who will win the WCHA 09-10?
Denver... this is an easy one, 'cause there's a consensus frontrunner, even if it turns out to be wrong. More interesting question would've been who's the cellar dwellar?tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

Granted, Tech is not about to crack the top half of the conference, but I figure 8th place is doable if the team puts their minds to it and we don't run into anymore serious injury trouble. I think there are a few players on the squad ready for breakout seasons, but it'll be up to them to put up the stats.
As for the poll, Denver is the obvious favorite, but that's why they play the games.

Re: Who will win the WCHA 09-10?
Unlike some other people discussing this, I'm not going to automatically pick my own school. While I think UMD is going to have a pretty decent season, I don't see them winning the WCHA. Although I find it pretty ridiculous for some people to say that St. Cloud will be in the running. I mean their goalie became academically ineligible at St. Cloud. If they can find the rink that's a plus. In reality though, St. Cloud could very well pull off a good season, but nobody has the talent Returning that Denver does. UND is also a good argument here, because they always seem to have a great turnover of talent. I'm just glad nobody has said the goofers yet"In heaven there is no beer. NO BEER! That's why we drink it here. RIGHT HERE!"

Re: Who will win the WCHA 09-10?
I put Denver on top (not my team). I'd put Tech on the bottom, and MN at number 2. STCS, that would be about 5, a ways away from #1. Although given the trend pointed out by Dirty, maybe UND will slip down into #5. So maybe STCS would slip to 6th. If this scenario doesn't happen, I'll go with co-champions of AA and Tech. (At least no one's picked the Favreless Cheesers yet.)

1 - Denver
2 - Wisconsin
3 - North Dakota
4 - Minnesota
5 - St. Cloud State
6 - Minnesota - Duluth
7 - Colorado College
8 - Minnesota State - Mankato
9 - Alaska Anchorage
10 - Michigan Tech
Denver has the most talent back as well as a talented incoming freshman class. Wisconsin is very strong on the blue line, but lack the goal production to be considered the front runner early on. North Dakota will be quick, and strong on the blue line, and will have Eidsness to fall back on. Minnesota will be improved, but their success is tied to a streaky Kangas. SCSU has more questions than answers, but if Lee is as good as advertised, this may be too low for them. Duluth I think will surprise some people after some difficult losses this summer. CC got hit hard, and could be in for a rough season. Mankato will be difficult to play as always, but they will struggle. UAA will be strong early and fade after Christmas. Finally, Tech will be better than last year, but I don't see them improving on their place in the standings.North Dakota
