I thought I would start out the season with some big words and make an attempt to appear smarter than I am. The Goon has nicely enough posted the preseason polls. As we all know that is usually based on how the team did the previous year, not on what they did in the off season. I predict it will be a close race between the top 3teams this year, of course it always seems that way. This is how the voices in my head told me the standing would be at in March 2009.
1. UND
2. Denver
3. CC
4. SCSU
5. Minnesota
6. Wisconsin
7. UM-Duluth
8. MSU-Mankato
9. MTU
10. UAA
When predicting the season it is always a good idea to pick your favorite team to finish first. It is also, lets call it a traditon, to pick UAA to finish last :)
I think the middle of pack this season, just like last, will come down to final weekend(s) to see who gets home ice advantage. Lets hope the referee's this year don't blow as many games as they did last season, UW and SCSU fans really can relate to those games.
UND un-officially starts the season this Sunday in an exhibition tilt against the U. of Manitoba. The Sioux officially start play on Oct 10 at Boston U and Oct. 11 vs. U-Mass. The regular season will end with UND playing on the road at UW, March 6-7.
The Seawolves have already played their first un-official game of the season, that resulted in a 4-0 loss to the US U-18 team on Sept. 25.
