2004 & 2007 look to be ridiculously low with the benefit of hindsight.

No one ever can pinpoint how a recruiting class will turn out. For every Bozak or Stastny, there is usually a Gifford or a Dewhurst.

Roll the dice...

I read on this site earlier that DU was a shoe-in to get the #1 class after Miami and UND both lost star recruits late in the game.

I guess not.

DG talking out of his a#@ again.

DU had six Freshmen out on the ice against Boston College and dominated the game in Beantown.

Laleggia owned the third period against BU.

Both Miami & UND lost top-notch recruits to major juniors in the 11th hour.

IMO DU has the best Freshmen class in the country. INCH doesn't agree with me. We'll see who's right in April.

Laleggia is going to be very good.
Wasn't he committed to another program before de-committing and coming to DU? If I remember it was an east coast team, DG should know.

Maybe I don't remember correctly, but I don't seem to recall LeLaggia having reneged on a commitment...

Laleggia had committed to UNH.

Laleggia had committed to UNH. We never really heard a story on why he switched to DU.

He did play an extra year of juniors in the BCHL and put up awesome numbers.

DG--you said LaLeggia owned the third period vs. BU. I didn't see the game. What was so good about his play?

Probably March (if DU's recent playoff history is any indication).

Sorry Viz but Murray and Howe aren't in the same class. On a side note, I really liked Howe's mask last season.

Hey Viz,
I'm sitting here in LAX, which has apparently been renamed La La Land, waiting for my flight and just realized I meant to call you the next time I was in Southern California. I really wanted to hang out...sorry... Maybe next time???
