This Podcast Needs a Sponsor: We would like to do more of these—probably 10 episodes this season total if you're interested.

1. We Are Qualified

Welcome to the podcast! We introduce ourselves, talk about what we plan on doing this season, and generally set the table for this endeavor. We then dive into last season and how the team did, and overall expectations for this season.

2. Offense Preview

Michigan lost its entire first line and more than 50 goals. How will they replace this production? The Centers are strong, there is some talent on the wings, a couple promising freshmen, and many possibilities for a fourth line. Michigan will likely look to committee to replace the first line's production from last year.

3. Defense Preview

QUINN HUGHES!!! This is the strength of the team. The defense is skilled, experienced, and only replacing one player. We explore the potential 6th D and talk about what to expect from the rest of the returners. We also talk about Hughes because it is fun to. We touch on the goaltending, will be mostly the same but that can work with the quality of D and system the team has. Strauss Mann takes the stress off of having to get a 2020 goalie.

4. Sieves and Scumbags

We talk about how well the schedule sets up the first month of the season. The conference will be tough, most teams are improved. We also talk about season predictions.
