hmm interesting that we are projected to finish so high i would think that we are more likely to finish in 4th or 5th spot but hey I hope the Hounds prove me wrong.

I am with you Shaker. If we don't solidify our goaltending first, aspirations of 2nd place are a pipedream.We saw what Lehner did last year for us. How many game did he outright steal? All the pundits in last season's early predictions had us out of the playoffs....a goaltender that steals games changed that scenario for us. Realistically with a still maturing and learning young team a 6th place in the Conference would seem to be more likely...though I will change that quickly when I know we can keep the puck out of our net on a consistent basis.
