                    Maybe, UMD went 6-4 against their cluster mates last year, splitting every series but one at Minnesota.
                    The year before, 4-3-4.
                    Wisconsin will likely not be as good as last year but they still have a good defense and I think UMD will have problems if they can't find secondary scoring outside their big 3, Tech always plays them tough, Minnesota is a rivalry series for them.
                    I don't think their cluster is all that easy.

                      That's why I wrote "could". The poster I was responding to said he, "can't see how anyone could say UND isn't the preseason favorite". I just offered one possible reason.
                      No cluster in the WCHA is easy, but I'd much rather face MTU, UW, and MN than SCSU, BSU and UNO.

                        IMO this season its going to be a fight between SCSU and ND.
                        Im expected my beloved Badgers to be about in the middle of the pack, but they might surprise people by the time February comes around.
                        They will be a young team after all the players they lost this summer and the start of the season will likely be ugly, but I think (hope) Eaves will mold them into a pretty respectable team by the middle of the season. At least we still have Gudmanson, who should bring them some leadership and maturity and is a solid goaltender. We've also still got Murray, who is a very good player and now should have the opportunity to grow into a star.

                            Well I do. I see DU as the Yankees and CC as the Red Sox (pre 2004). Where one team has won a lot, and the other team has not won championships in over 50 years. Yeah yeah DU I know you won National Titles most recently, and I know CC hasn't won one in a long time. DU fans rag on CC fans and it gets old.

                              For DU and CC fans, the ragging never gets old. The DU vs. CC rivalry is 60 years old now and fans from both schools have been ragging on each other for all of those years. Over the years, there have been student riots (60s), live animals on the ice (70s) and even huge obscene banners (80s) that have made a mark on the rivalry and that's just the fans.

                              CC fans have had a lot to cheer about since Don Lucia resurrected the CC program in the mid 1990s. CC has really owned the regular season series vs DU since the mid 1990s and won more Gold Pans than DU since the trophy started in the 90s, and has really excelled in games in DU's Magness Arena, where they seem to play their best hockey.

                              Denver fans have also had plenty to cheer about, including still having the all-time series lead, crushing CC 6-2 in the in the biggest DU vs CC game of all time in Columbus (the 2005 NCAA Semi-Finals) when DU went on to win the NCAA title, and the fact that Denver has won all of its seven NCAA titles since CC last won one in 1957.

                              It's among the top 5 rivalries in college hockey.

                                It gets old sometimes (probably not a great idea to read a DU blog after they beat CC) but that feeling never really lasts.

                                Can we get a list of your top 10? Top 5 sounds about right. Sometimes I think that sells it a little short but it's hard to argue that it's better than some of the other great rivalries.
