UMD will have their goaltender while Bemidji, St-Cloud and Mankato continue to improve. I can see the Gophers being right where they are this year. I do believe that the WCHA will be extremely competitive even moreso than it is right now which is only good for the game.
    Gopher talk taking over the Wisconsin thread...I like it.

    This year's Gopher team does not have a true first line. They were centralized. The P-line will be back and some very, very good freshmen forwards are coming in as well. Goaltender will be a question mark along with defensive depth for them next year.

    I don't know who is going to beat bc next year...seriously.
    At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

      In this case I meant it in the manner of Gopher football or basketball where it's always "wait until next year".

      They'll be a top-four team; beyond that, I don't know.

      Pannek has the ability to make others better, something the Gophers lacked this year. Maybe Clark can, but I've never seen that from Pankowski. The Badgers definitely start from a higher point, so if the additions are a wash, then advantage Badgers.

      IMO, OSU will battle UMD and BSU for third.

      The Bulldogs graduate four defensemen. I know what graduating three defensemen looks like, so they'll definitely need their goalie.

      True, so they might win games from Wisconsin, UMD, and OSU as well. The question is, will any of them improve as much as the teams above them? I can see it from Bemidji if goaltending is better than it was this year.

      I think they'll improve by 5-10 wins, but I guess we'll find out. My guess is that they'll look a lot like this year's BC and play a lot of high-scoring games.

      As for BC next year, it won't be proven in goal either.

        Wisconsin also picks up Shirley and Curl (and DeVito) for next year. I don't know much about DeVito, but the other 2 are top end players. They probably pass all the current Fr on the roster.

        I agree Pankowski is a finisher but not a creator. Clark is a combo player. The only true creator on the roster now is Roque.

        I have no idea what to expect this weekend, it's totally unknown territory.

            I like that one. what's crazy is that the same 4 teams will most likely be there next year
            WI, MN, Clarkson and BC
            1- WI, MN, BC Harvard
            2- WI, MN CL, BC
            3- WI, MN, BC, CL
            this year- who knows. has as good a chance as any combo out there to repeat
            next year- WI, MN, BC CL? goalie?

              Sure you are. Short, long hair, cousin of the Adam's Family. Didn't know "It" was a goalie though.

                Yeah that's true but I did use that bit in another thread so I left it alone.

                  Per a tweet from Madison TV station WKOW and retweeted by UW Women's Hockey, WKOW is picking up the Duluth TV telecast of the UW-Duluth game both tonight and tomorrow. Available on channel "27.3" digital channel, aka "Decades Channel" (Decades is also Charter Cable #189 in Madison area.)

                  (I'll be at UW men vs Minnesota. So now I have to figure out if I can get a tablet into the Kohl Center, and if I can get "27.3" on my tablet.)

                    I wonder if "The Dick Cavett Show" and "Laugh In" will be preempted so we can enjoy the UW-UMD game as well!

                      WKOW has "sister stations" in La Crosse, Eau Claire, and Wausau (WXOW, WYOW, others?) If one is in those areas, seeing whether they are also picking up the game is worth a look.

                        Well, a pretty good response Friday. Looked like a lot of seeing eye goals in traffic, that's puck luck I guess. Saturday, fell in a hole again, but fought their way out to get a tie and then win the shootout.

                        What an unexpected awesome result to win the WCHA this year! Congrats to the players on coaches.

                        I have no idea what to expect this upcoming weekend. The rodents are up and down, UW has been up and down lately.

                              Wow, you dug back DEEP for that one, but hindsight is always 2020, right? I had my reasons for my beliefs and they were logic based like all my posts. I am shocked MJ didn't give Cece a shot at some point early in the season seeing she had equal experience to Soup, but obviously Soup showed in practice that she's the one.

                              Anyway to answer the question 1: I prefer my crow stuffed with gopher meat and deep fried, then make a broth out of the gopher carcasses, add a little red wine, cook it down, then put that over some white asparagus and red cabbage. Allez Cuisine!

                              I think Soup is awesome and I'm glad she's here and not anywhere, especially rodentsota. She'd be a game changer for them.
