    Interesting though that despite your modest expectations the Wolverines are ranked ahead of the Gophers in the pre-season poll.

      Yeah, that preseason poll has some real head scratchers though. Mich at 11, BC at 5, Mich ST receiving any votes at all....

        Agreed, I should have inserted a "FWIW" into my comment.

          I think the door is wide open for UW to finish 2nd. The rodents are the class of the conference (puke) PSU and UM lost a ton of players, OSU will under achieve as usual and MSU is still MSU and they lost a ton of players too.

            If Ohio State does not finish at least 3rd a new coach will be coming to Columbus. They have way to much talent not to contend in this conference this year.

              I agree with the coaches in order of finish. Minnesota is the class of the league but after that I believe Ohio State and Michigan are interchangeable along with 4-6 any of those 3 could finish in any order for those bottom 3 spots.

                  I respect your opinion, but I doubt that the AD gives a rats tail as long as the team competes. Given their finish last season I doubt that a change would come even if the Bucks falter a little. My opinion- FWIW- they will score a bunch, but the difference in how they finish is keeping the puck out of their own net.

                    This is the last year of his deal i believe so if they have a down year he wont be brought back. I like Frey in net he is probably the #2 returning goalie is this league. Your correct in your opinion if they play in front of him they will be fine if not we see what we saw for much of last year.

                      Frey is still there? Seems like he's been there as long as Kessel was with the rodent program.

                      I hope Rohlik does enough to retain his job, but I want UW to finish ahead of the them.

                        Yea it does seem like he has been a Buckeye forever lol. This is it for him and Tomkins thats why i think its this year or never for the Buckeyes.

                          I'll believe OSU will do something when it happens.

                          They had that run in 2011-12 and got up to #2 nationally. And then........
