      Alright Minnesotan lurkers, what can we expect this year out of the 'Cuse? I've never seen them play in person. I do know that a) they seem to have stepped up from last year, and b) former Eagle Gabrielle Beaudry plays there now. But that's about the extent of my knowledge.

      BC's lineup from the first series was...
      Motherwell-Restuccia-Walsh
      Thunstrom-Szlosek-Green
      Hart-Brown-Welch
      Olchowski rotating

      Kurth-Burns
      Regan-Johnson
      Webster-Bolden

      It's pretty funny how offensive D has been a weak spot for the Eagles in recent years, but on paper, it could be the team's best strength this year. All 6 D are scoring threats.

        Generally speaking I think you can expect the Orange offense to take all opportunities to shoot the puck towards the BC net as many times as possible -- particulary towards the open spots. The defense will be doing everything in its power to stop BC from scoring; likely the goalie will try and do the same. I suspect even the defense will try and shoot or set up shots offensively as well whenever the opportunity arises. Moreover, all players will attempt to capitalize on any mistakes/breakdowns in BC's play. Although I'm not in privity with the Orange coach I suspect he'll be coaching to maximize team strengths and attempt to gain the advantage over any perceived BC weaknesses. There may be other strategies I'm omitting but in any event, overall Syracuse will be trying to finish the game by outscoring BC.

            Outscoring the opponent as a strategy to win the game... what a concept!!

            BRILLIANT!!

            IMHO however, unless BC finds a way to put up a bunch, this strategy may require only a couple of tallies. Boyles will likely continue to play strong, as will her deep blue line, but at this point it is very hard to tell who will be racking up the points.

              Snort. Nice one Though I'm not sure what in Joe's question prompted such sarcasm, it was pretty hilarious.

                Hey, I forgot to do my annual season prediction.

                Last year I predicted:

                Reg Season 19-10-4
                Conf 11-6-4
                Loss to UNH in the Hockey East final
                total: 21-11-4

                The results:
                reg season - 21-7-5
                conf - 13-5-3
                Loss to UNH in the HE final
                total - 22-9-5

                ****... not bad.

                Now, onto the predictions. I would have predicted a split at Clarkson before the season.

                  So did I. I'm kind of afraid to.

                  Now, onto the predictions. I would have predicted a split at Clarkson before the season.
                  I think I would have gone with the same.

                      The thing is, if I were to have predicted how the season were to go, the first game was a perfect microcosm.

                      Solid defense with a couple breakdowns here and there because of inexperience? Check.
                      SOLID goaltending from Boyles? Check.
                      Absolutely ZERO offensive spark? Check.

                      That's what scares me so much about the season, is that I was so spot-on with what I would have thought would happen.

                        Since I don't know much I don't post much. I like to read the gossip and watch the games. But every so often I get inspired and try to make somebody laugh. No ill will is ever intended.
