Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2009-2010 the last year of the old WCHA
First off, go tell an intelligent Badger fan (it may take you a couple attempts ) that Jamie McBain was their best defenseman last year, and they'll laugh at you. At UW, where defense is a premium, they would call him an offensive weapon, but a defensive liability. That's as funny as when rhm said SCSU would lose a great player when Brocklehurst graduated.... you can't tell how good someone, especially a defenseman is, by just looking at the box score.
Also, in as competitive of a league as it is, did you just say a team could win the McNaughton with a shaky goaltender?!? And somehow I'm on the seat for a ridiculous statement? And no, I won't predict UW to win the McNaughton, because their offense is just a little above average, and they have two question marks in net. How's this for a (albeit boring) prediction: there is no darkhorse this year. Straight chalk, DU, UW, UND, MN and SCSU all get home ice, and unlike in past years, there's a 4 to 6 point gap between 5th and 6th.
