We will NOT end up in 8th place this year!! Everyone thinks we will not do well since both Sigalets are gone. We will prove them wrong by the end of the season. BANK ON IT!!

DROP THE PUCK!!!

Given where our program is at in the reestablishment process, I am very, very happy that we are under rated going into this year. This is only bulletin board material that will help Pooch motivate this talented group of kids. I don't see a single negative in this ranking.

DROP IT!! The puck, that is.

It stands to reason that, since we were picked 11th last year and finished 5th, we should finish at least 3rd this year! 8)

We will definitely get home ice, and I seriously think we can contend for 1st this year. Last year we were a bit young. I think this year we will be much improved.

Losing the Siggy brothers hurts, but I still think we'll improve. We were young & exciting last year. Offensive defensemen can be replaced by more young talent, as good as he was. If one of our goalies steps up I think we'll continue to improve.

Paluch as brought an attitude and winning mentality. On top of that he's brought repeated good recruiting classes. Unless the new goaltenders fall flat on their faces (which I doubt) I don't see us finishing that low this season.

If there's one thing BGSU's always had a knack for, it's bringing in quality goaltenders.

I personally see us contesting for the number four spot and that 4-8 will actually be very very close race where by those teams records could be darn near interchangable. Therefore while I dont see us ending up 8th, I see us in a tight race with those 4 teams.
