boo hoo. du will miss again. even if they make it, they wont get far. they have to compete with tough teams in und, um, and uw. it all depends on whether or not your goaltender is hot, like always for du. mannino is pretty solid, but he will have to carry the team completely. chevy has not turned into the goaltender that he was was once thought of.
