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.
