      Genoway was the preseason WCHA POTY in the Media Poll, not Connolly:

        Thanks, fixed, copied it from the DU site which had Connolly listed in both polls.

            Right where I expected the Mavericks to be. Two new teams in the league, two places lower in the standings. And yet I keep renewing my season tickets.

                MN is 5th/6th interesting. They must expect them to win more than 18 games this year.

                  Frankly the only way I think the Gophs hang in there is if the frosh step up to their typically high expectations...and they rarely do.

                    as Quiz put it to me, there are going to be 2-3 REALLY good teams this year, 2-3 REALLY bad teams, and the rest will battle it out for mediocrity. The Gophers could finish as high as 4th or as low as 10th. It really depends.

                      I think that's a perfect assessment. There are 3 groups.

                      UND, SCSU, UMD

                      Minnesota, Wisconsin, Denver, UNO, Bemidji, CC

                      Anchorage, Tech, Kato

                        Agree. Even so...Colorado schools can never be counted out to cross over to the top group. And I would put a couple of schools including Minnesota as having potential to slip down into the bottom group.

                          I have to give Gopher fans credit, their sandbagging this year is exceptional.

                              I actually agree with you

                              I think the Gophers are much more likely to finish in the top 3 than the bottom 3. I'll point out that I don't think either is all that likely.
                              I would bet dollars to donuts that they will finish in the 4-6 range, with the difference in those spots being one point or one game.

                              I'll stick my nose out there for others to take a swing at, and say I think the defense is going to be better (losing Leddy hurts, but I think that is offset by Fisher's departure and the rest of the guys come in with another year of experience and weight gains in the off season); and really, the offense can't get much worse then it was last season. Cepis, Barriball, Budish with a year under his belt, Hoefel coming into his final year, and a couple very talented frosh should be enough to improve the GPG. I'm not saying it's going to be outstanding, but certainly improved.

                              I also really believe the attitude in the locker room is going to be different, starting with the coaching staff.
