    We know how meaningful these are. St. Cloud never finishes high in these things. Duluth gets picked ahead of us almost every year, even though they only actually finish ahead of us once every 5 years. I don't even care that we lost our top 6 scorers. Duluth was barely .500 last year. AND THEY GOT 2 FIRST PLACE VOTES!!!!! Who are these people?!?!?!?

    St. Cloud will finish 3rd at worst.

      Huskies win the exhibition against Regina 6-2. Aside from a few minor defensive issues in the second period, I was happy with what I saw. They played hard and showed lots of potential.

      All three of the goalies got playing time, I thought Driscoll looked the best.

        This is going to be a long season. While I expect the offense to show up on a more regular basis, the defense will continue to be leaky outside the top pair and we don't have a top end goalie stepping forward yet to make them look better than they are a la Lindgren many times over the past couple years. It's going to be a long season.

          Do they have a goalie that could be a top end goalie?

            Maybe. Nobody's stepped forward yet to show it though. We have two freshmen and a sophomore in the trio, so someone could become the solid net minder eventually. And they're all kind of on the small side for goalies these days, 5'11" to 6'2". I'm not optimistic, and I doubt our D corps will be of much help to them this season to let any one goalie gain the necessary confidence to excel in this league.

              That's crazy it's hard to believe st cloud without a good goalie that's usually one of your strong suits.

                Too early to say the D will be leaky outside the top and we don't have a goalie who could step up.
                We are young but these guys will get better once they develop some chemistry.
                It was going to be bumpy but there is a ton of talent here...give it time.

                  Huskies beat UAH 5-1, SOG 53-16. First two periods were a bit rough (1-1 after two) but they came out firing in the third. Now let's get the sweep tomorrow.
