Do you guys (people) really think that Clarkson is going to finish in the top 4 this year? I was a little surprised concidering the quality players they lost last year. I might be mistaken but didn't they lost something like 5 of their top 7 scorers and the two best defensemen? (I could be completely off base here;-)) Also, I agree with whomever it was that said that they were too scared to pick SLU higher than 5.....But you never know having 2 of the last 3 year's rookies of the year helps alot;-) Plus when you concider that SLU's football team beat Union (a beyond heavily favored team) to win their first game in 2 years...you just never know what could happen with the hockey team!:-) What is really going to be scary is Vermont...can't wait to see them play even if SLU loses it will be fun to watch.... Last prediction, Colgate should give Vermont a nice run for their money. (Clarkson giving Vermont a run? I don't know.......um they might:-)) HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
