Here are "the Goon's" predictions for the upcomming season. NCAA Division One Hockey Poll 1. UND 2. Michigan 3. Boston College 4. Michigan State 5. C.C. 6. New Hampshire 7. Boston University 8. Ohio State University 9. Wisconsin 10. St. Cloud State Look No Gophers Here is why, I believe the loss of Day and the Defenseman Ben Clymer is paramount. Also the rookie goalie no matter how good is not going to be able to stop the onslaught of the WCHA. Houser does not equal Goehring no matter who you talk to. I also believe that the UofM will not be able spin anything this season to make Doug Woog look good. See you Dougie it has been nice (not) Post Dougie parties to take place all over the Midwest in places like St. Cloud, Duluth, Grand Forks, Just to name a few. I have a response to all the people that will say but you want Woog to be there. The gophers will not win a National Title in hockey as long as they don't open their borders to the players from the north. Plain and simple. I think you could make comparison to Woog and the Guy chasing Monica around oval office. Good Ridence and Good bye. Since I am living in Bismarck this season and will not be attending many Sioux Games I will focus most of my attention to analyzing the Gopher farce this season. All farce games will be seen on MSC your Minnesota Sports Channel, which lacks objectivity and reason. I look forward to another year. Yours in College Hockey The Fabulous sports goon Eric.
