I suppose if you have no expectations, you are not disappointed. That sort of thought process will have one of two results: dooming us to mediocrity, or establishing more poise and control. I'm sure we all hope it's the latter. The tools are in place: great barn, nice locker rooms, high class training facility. Now it's time for the team to earn the proverbial "paycheck" and start to show the dividends the tute's investment paid.

If my expectations had anything to do with the teams performance ("dooming us to mediocrity"), then we would have won every NCAA title since 1994.
No, I will go into this season hoping for the best and expecting nothing.

It may not be the reason now, but it was certainly the reason you started. Going to put another stupid tag about me, or is comparing me to Hokeydope enough?

I love how I'm your boogeyman. Your obsession with tags, and your steadfast determination that it's me who's behind them. So precious.

By the way, are you officially p***ying out on the bets, or just the idiotic odds you gave? 'Cause I've got $100 that'll be worthwhile just to watch you sweat having to cut a check for three large.

If it was for real, i would have jumped all over those odds for a much larger sum.

I look forward to every season and the roller coaster ride it brings. The Mets are in first place...so anything can happen.

Hopefully his arms will not be too tired to hold a hockey stick.

As it was, he bailed very quickly after $70 total was proffered.

If that famous seen from the 1950s were replayed today:

Attorney Welch: "Have you no shame?"
DUD: "Nope."

Good news. Hopefully that's just about everyone, and the team can get some good cohesion going during captain's practices.

Speaking of which, when do we hear who the captains are? If we're sticking to seniors, I guess Chris Bradley is probably the front-runner with Miller and Bubela getting As? I know Kazzy can't be the official captain, but can he wear an A?

A goaltender can wear the A; I seem to recall one (I think from SLU) during my tenure at the 'tute.

Chris Bradley would seem to be a shoe-in, given he was the designated captain when the four letter wearers were under suspension last year. Why do I keep thinking Miller graduated?

No idea. Captains were announced mid-June last year, but weren't announced until early October either of the two seasons prior. Looks like we're headed toward an announcement the week of the exhibition again.
