Re: UML offseason looking towards 2010/11 season
agreed. we will probably figure out how this team will end up around November 3rd. They will be playing Maine, RIT, BU twice, and BC. thats the top 3 of hockey east right there and a team in the frozen four. just cant say anything right now until we see the team in action.
Other than the Big Four, there is no reason why this year's team can't be in the middle of the pack. Certainly, the upperclassmen as a whole have to step it up several notches from some of the play during the previous season. The big questions are the #5/6 D-paring and goaltending. With the recent departure of a freshman that was scheduled to fill a big void and unknowns in net, it's very hard to justify even a .500 season in a league where the margin of error is that small.
As I mentioned, let's give them the first month. In the end, this team will go as far as their young goaltending and defense will take them.
