Ahhhh its that time again =] From a UofM viewpoint the opening game against Utah is crucial, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost but it the offense is running good then I would say the outlook would be 9-3 August 30 Utah Win September 6 Miami (Ohio) Win September 13 at Notre Dame Win (and thus back into the top 25.....for now) September 27 Wisconsin* Loss October 4 Illinois* (HC) Win October 11 Toledo Win (Top 20 ranking) October 18 at Penn State* Loss October 25 Michigan State* Win (if this game were at S.S. I would go with a loss but I think the game is late enough in the year that the offense should be running smoothly) November 1 at Purdue* ?:?? pm EDT. Win (top 15) November 8 at Minnesota* ?:?? pm EST. Win November 15 Northwestern* Win (top 10) November 22 at Ohio State* (Unfortunatly another loss) This team could surprise some, but if the opener against Utah is an L then I could see ND turning to an L as well going down to 7-5.

Great........White Sox got Griffey.......for nobody off their everyday roster...

Well at least we still have Babcock, Yzerman, Holland, Nill, Andersson, Bedard and MacLean. The Hawks have Scotty Bowman......as an advisor. Yeah I feel pretty safe. Ha maybe he'd advise them to trade Toews and Kane for Maltby and Lilja?

Well it seems we might be leaning towards a firesale.......so I wouldn't be surprised if DD tried to package Renteria and Sheffield for a catching prospect. Dear god can we ever get a catching prospect........we haven't had a good one for over 20 years it seems.

Also, way to ******* help the Yankees too.......GOD!!!!!

Wow why the hell did we trade Pudge? For Kyle freakin Farnsworth....we should have kept him in the first place.

How the hell does Flip make more than Z? Also I would say that Sammy is the man out right now.

Why the hell is Gretzky playing f**king football?

Crosby=Overrated Jokinen=Underrated

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article...BLOG11/80714076 Key points. Expects Flip to be finished before 8/1, unsure if they should go long term or stick with 2 years and readdress later. Jay Woodcroft (video coach) is now with McClelland in SJ, I do believe that this was a letdown to Babcock as he loved his video styles. He wants experience on the ice and off in his next assistant, says he has a name in mind that they all agree on.

Yes I was thought about him but I see Datsyuk potentially being great like Larionov, while Ovechkin will be great like Bure/Fedorov. Both can control the game, but in different styles.

Just a thought.... By the end of his career will people think he is better than Fedorov was.....or Bure/Mogilny? Could he arguably become the greatest russian to ever play in the NHL (Larionov/Makarov aside as they didn't play their entire career in the NHL)

s*** he only has ten years left.

JoKo Ranford vs Essensa

Boyd "What, We're supposed to try when were on the ice?" Devereaux Uwe "Let's go racing boys" Krupp Ulf "I can kill you" Samuelsson Billy "I Quit" Ranford Ken "Regret" Wregget Derian "Fire = Oooh Ahh" Hatcher Yuri "You guys won't remember me anyways" Butsayev Yan "Damn it, you mean we have someone else on the team whose name starts with Y?" Goulbousky Norm "I Believe in" Maracle Kyle "Ow, my hand hurts" Calder

Kinda big loss for UofM hockey, although I had heard he probably would leave after this last year I thought he would have made his mind up earlier.....For those who don't know him here's a few websites on him. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/max_pacioretty The last one is a fight.........kinda lol He has good potential but he might suffer a little from the Al Montoya syndrome in adjusting to pro hockey. Another year or two and this kid probably will be a regular in the Habs lineup.

I remember when they used to actually air classic games..,.. ESPN Classic has gone down with the rest of ESPN

Massive. Failure.

Looks like were going to Chicago instead of New York this year

JoThor Glow Puck or a colored puck?

Montoya will always regret the fact that he left Michigan a year early, he could have won a NC but he left for the money. Don't f**k with Red

Hollweg McSorley or Simon

Probert. Essensa or Wregget?

Dino. Coffey or Primeau?

So THATS why his head never seems to be in the game, he's always blogging in the GDT!
