College Hockey Blog's "Extremely Early Preaseason Top 5"

Re: College Hockey Blog's "Extremely Early Preaseason Top 5"

I got news for you Dubbs... Minnesota didn't play that bad of a game, a lot of Gopher fans acknowledged that. BC was just THAT much better.

So if Haula, B Jugs and Rau all left, where would the Gophers fall to? 2nd? Tied for 1st?

Minnesota played poorly that game, but they also ran into a hot goaltender. I think Minnesota returns the most talent. I don't think goaltender will be an issue. I think Minnesota will be the team to beat, but I also like Notre Dame and North Dakota. Those teams should score a scary number of goals next season too.

You obviously did not follow BC for the season and that is ok. Most people can not keep up with all the teams in the NCAA and only see other teams in the tournament. However, if you think BC was only good because of a hot goaltender and that they are not returning a ton of talent, you are in for a horrible surprise next season.

Some of the Gopher's top players (Bjugstad, Rau, Haula, Patterson) had a bad game. Bjugstad was a shell of himself. Patterson wasn't all to blame for the goals scored, but he didn't play a great game.

If Bjugstad, Rau, and Haula leave, I think the Gophers are a bubble team, if not out of the tourney next season.

Even with those loses, I think the gophers would make the tournament and stand a chance of doing well in it. They would still have a lot of talent, but the biggest difference from past years (before this one) is a healthy head coach and the right assistants.

I don't know. That's an awful lot of scoring they would lose. There is always the possibility that someone could up their game and fill the gap, but I don't think I'd have them in my Top 15 preseason.

Ok, JDUBBS has to be a troll or a caricature I am now finally convinced because there's just no other explanation for it that makes sense.
