I feel they jerked Z around a bit last year as well. The injury near the end of the season didn't help.
No idea why Jacobson left, maybe he sensed the Coaches loved Richer, but I don't know. I wasn't a fan of Jacobs.
I'm a huge Brun fan and having him to start the season would be great news. I'm not at all worried about the defense, it doesn't have Johnson's offense but it has everything else.
Very tough first 3 games, CCHL, Elmira & Hobart, I would be happy with a 1-1-1 start, anything better would be a bonus. Goaltending and the power-play are huge mysteries. Big opportunities for freshmen and Sophomores.
The D'Orazio freshmen seems to have the best chance at putting up big numbers as a freshmen.
