So how's your school's team look this year?

Michigan Tech will, unfortunately, probably be towards the bottom half of the WCHA again this year. With a 5-2 loss to NMU and a 3-1 loss to Toronto already and a save percentage under 50%, Rob Nolan is not looking like the goalie I saw against Michigan and Michigan State last year at the GLI. He really needs to pull it together if Tech wants to have any shot at the Final Five or NCAA's this year.

Tech plays against CC this weekend... should be a tough one, even though we were only team to put more than 4 goals past Bachman last year. I'd still say Tech is lucky to come away with a point. A split would be awesome though.

Also, does anyone else post on USCHO?

University of Denver beat Notre Dame saturday 5-2 and 3 of the goals were from freshman, so this year looks promising.

Sure, as always they'll have a lot of talent. But I don't think they have enough in the WCHA to even get home ice. It's such a tough league, every point is going to matter again this year.

And to the Providence fan: Go Friars! I cheered for you guys at the GLI last year.

The Gophers came through this weekend with a sweep of SCSU. I was expecting a split there, SCSU should be decent this year.

Tech got swept by CC. Not too surprising, but Tech was definitely in both games against a team that, according to everyone else, should be blowing us out of the water.

Denver swept. I also expected a split there, but Denver is definitely the better of the two teams, so a sweep isn't all too surprising.

UND and Mankato split. All I have to say is that I really wanted to see the Souix get swept two weekends in a row.

My boys at UofM are gonna drop out of the #1 spot this week because of that loss this weekend. But Ive still got my money on them, they've got to many big goal scorers to not win consistently. But if they don't I would say BC or back to back titles by MSU.

UMD's looking great so far this year, a lot more energy and a lot less shittiness,  but I'm not sure if they can win the WCHA, it's going to be a tough conference this year.

Denver all the way baby.  Kyle Ostrow was a number one pick in the draft and that kid is sick.  We've scored more than 5 goals in every one of our games so far, and we just swept Wisconsin at home this weekend.  What that smell like.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the DU-CC series plays out in a couple weeks. They'll probably go 1-2 in the WCHA.
