Re: NMU Offseason 2010
He's done pretty well for himself before. It's not like he wasn't expecting to lose Stewart. Ellingson, who has shown he is quite capable, will now have the reins.
I'm not counting on a break out year from Florek or Hanson; they will be the guys everyone will be gunning for allowing some other sophomore or junior to sneak in and score some points.
As for the blueline, other than Gussy, we really didn't have much that wowwed anyone... But that may be a good thing. I see a blueline by committee in that no roster spot is safe next year.
Next years schedule is more favorable too. Last years powerhouse teams are spread throughout the season; none of this front loading of the "Big10" type teams.
The "easier" start will mean that this may be the end of the 2nd half style team... It's risky though because losses to tOSU, LSSU, and BGSU could mean the loss of support from casual fans.
Being away from the university since graduation and seeing the pressures that minor league clubs go through to remotely try to be competitive, MQT residents should be glad for how steady this team is, and how it is rarely in such drastic high and low swings like LSSU, FSU, and now even MSU.
