To venture a guess on the Platt/Galatiuk situation I would expect that Borek
is going to alternate them until one of them wins the job. Having seen both
LSSU games last weekend I would say Galatuik is ahead at this point, but I
expect to see them both next weekend against OSU and ND.
 
As to Notre Dame being that good I would say, yes they are. I fully expect
them to challenge for home ice and a trip to JLA in the playoffs.
