complete with cutsie-poo comments.  After typing in a couple of the lame
rhymes, I got infected with the virus and added a few myself. They're listed
under DaveH.  All in the spirit of fun.  No flames please.
 
 
 
1. Boston University
   Weaknesses so few, it has to be BU.
 
DaveH: Jacques Joubert makes them pay.
 
2. Lake Superior State
   Lakers' tradition means finals repetition.
 
DaveH: Because they're callin' interference, the championship makes a
disappearance.
 
3. Colorado College
   Tigers are hot, NCAA snub or not.
 
4. Hahvahd
   Crimson stays atop strong ECAC.
 
DaveH: The Crimson are snooty because their alumni have all the booty.
 
5. Minnesota
   Depth and speed will guarantee Gophers' success.
 
6. Michigan State
   Returnees enhance puck hopes in East Lansing.
 
7. Mass Lowell
   Bullock's a prize, Chiefs' rise no surprise.
 
DaveH: They're the Chiefs no more, it'll take time before the River Hawks soar.
 
8. Michigan
Wolverines fall will be small -- if at all.
 
DaveH: Before Berenson takes a pee, he'll make sure no one can see.
 
9. Maine
   Players who fly are in endless supply.
 
DaveH: They're hoping the NCAA just goes the hell away.
                        and
       This time there's not the perfect panacea, who goes by the name of
        Paul Kariya.
 
10. Clarkson
    Knights have usual dash and more.
 
11. St. CLoud State
    Huskies are banking on incredible Hultgren.
 
12. Northeastern
    Aube will surely lead the way.
 
13. Northern Michigan
    More wintertime fun in Marquette.
 
14. Cornell
    Opponents will dread games with Big Red.
 
15. Wisconsin
    Rebuilding is less scary when the goalie is Jim Carey.
 
DaveH update: Without Carey stopping pucks, the team just sucks.
 
16. Western Michigan
    Top guns are back in Broncos' offense.
 
17. Denver
    If injury trend disappears, watch out.
 
18. Rensselaer
    Returning scorers will fly for RPI.
 
19. Miami of Ohio
    New Coach Mazzoleni will stress consistency.
 
20. Vermont
    Sophomore punch is paramount for the emerging Catamounts.
