...suspect area will be the defensive corps, which lost three skaters who logged a combined 352 games over four years. Captain Jason Dailey (21 points) and junior Jeff Burgoyne (15 points) are back, however, and when you place them in front of potential Hobey Baker candidate Jason Elliot, your defense doesn't look so bad.

A fan happened to read Notorious by Dailey and Sweet Revenge by Roberts back to back and posted strikingly similar passages on the Internet. ("Like a rocket, the heat tore...
