Re: WCHA 2010 Predictions Thread

1. UND
2. UMD
3. sccc
4. CC
5. UW
6. BSU
7. MN
8. UNO
9. DU
10. MSU-M
11. AA
12. MTU

It is just laughable to me that Bemidji State fans think that DU will finish 8th or 9th, when there are around five players on the DU roster who may be playing in the NHL in two to three years.

And it is laughable to me that a certain "ahem" poster bet the farm that BSU would never get into the WCHA. Moreover, ask the followers of the Minnesota program how those NHL draft picks have helped their program.

Nowhere did we say we didn't whine, that's fine. We do whine, we're still better quality hockey than the CCHA.

1- now I'm just kinda embarrassed for you.

2- never said the CCHA had better quality hockey, in fact I've said more than once now that I thought the WCHA top to bottom was the strongest.

3- who is this "we" you are speaking for? Are they cool with you being their rep?

That worked out well for the Gophers last season, didn't it?

Talk about all your "NHL" players you want. Their not NHL players until they step onto NHL ice.

Are Bemidji fans going to get all holier-than-thou on the rest of the WCHA? On teams that have actually played in the league? That seems a little premature to me.

I’m a CC and I wouldn’t mind seeing Denver wind up in 9th place. I might bring their fans down a notch… I’m just saying that I think you guys should let the Beaver’s play a few games first…

Well they have made more Frozen Fours in the last 5 years than over half of our conference.

I don't think any BSU fans feel that way. We know it's going to be a tough year, and i'm personally hoping for a middle of the pack year at best. I have watched and followed the WCHA week-by-week for the past 11-12 years. I know it's going to be a hard transition. I just feel as though a lot of other programs (& fans) don't give them the respect that they should.

Respect?

BSU and UNO will not gain respect until they have done something in the WCHA.

that is why teams play games.

Being a former hockey player, you have to give your opponents respect. You have to know what they are capable of, otherwise they will run you over.

UNO & BSU are two solid programs, and what I meant by "respect" is that people shouldn't look past them.

I don't play for the Gophers. I respect no one.

Cripes I made a fricken prediction. Chill out. Now if I was to make a wager on where BSU or DU or any other team would finish in the WCHA this season I would need to step back and reshuffle things a bit.

OK lets just talk college hockey.

DU has averaged 24.9 wins per season over the past 10 seasons.

DU had INCH's #2 recruiting class in the nation last season and every one of those players will be back this season.

The 2010 recruiting class is better than 2009.

Congrats. You mentioned that Denver should be higher in our predictions because they had some NHL players on the roster. That's what we were talking about. Not how many wins DU has had in the past 10 seasons.

I was simply saying that U of Minn. has had a full roster of potential NHL players, one would think one of the BEST recruiting classes in all of college hockey. But they had a mediocre season.

I am a fan of the Gophers. I respect no one.
