Yet another example of late breaking news!

I think 4th place is about right. This DU team has an NCAA tourney caliber defense, but with unknown golatending and a significant offensive losses to graduation and eary signings, I think this team will be on the NCAA bubble to make the tourny.

NCAA tourney caliber defense with unknown goaltending? Don't they go hand in hand. You will be lucky if you're on the bubble to get home ice in the WCHA postseason.

All these predictions and Polls fail to take into account DU's incoming Freshman Class IMO.

DU will be battling UND for the MacNaughton as usual.

Yes, because teams that rely heavily on freshmen production always battle it out for the MacNaughton. :D

Talented or not, DU lost a ton of their offense from last season, and a couple freshmen forwards won't replace that. Also keep in mind that other schools have some great recruiting classes coming in as well...

That said, keep those delusions high, DG!

DG
You did your fans no favors by exposing you lack of knowledge about the game. What team in any league wins MacNaughton Cups and Championships on the backs of Freshman? I think you are feeding your readers a line of BS.

You dumb asses finally learned from last year not to put a checklist out. God was that stupid. I am sure DU will have a decent season but less face it you aren't going to win the McNaughton cup or a NC this year.

Hmmm.

Fans who hate DU can recite letter and verse stuff that was in LetsGoDU 6 months ago.
