Wow. Watching a rerun of Wisconsin UNO, and a Uno destroys aBadger with a clean check and gets kicked out of the. Ridiculous!

SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP! x

for once, it was an absolutely great day in Minnesota.

A sweep of Wisconsin, and a near sweep of Denver. This team seems to be scoring by committee but either way, the Huskies are off to an impressive start. It won't be easy to win in Houghton, MI this year!

I watched the Gopher games, and I thought it was a good road effort for Minnesota. In game one, it reminded me of last week Friday against Vermont where the Gophers just totally overwhelmed UAA with speed and skill. Then when UAA skated better, the team still was able to wear them down and score enough to win. And Kent Patterson has been a total stud thus far. Colorado has to be happy they drafted him...

"Kenny Reiter?! Yes he can!"

As a student, not my favorite but up there. For me personally it would have to be "if you can't get into college go to state" I dont know why but it just has something about it that gets me. Oh yeah and the beer song, can't forget that.

Randomly just found out Kent Patterson is my third cousin (my mom's cousin's son). Never met the guy, but it sounds like he's having a great season with the Gophers.

4 shutouts, 7-1 record, .939 save percentage...I'd say he's having a good season.

Better than Dell, he's been atrocious more often than not.

Both Dell and Eidsness have a save percentage under .900.* Surprising that Dell has been off since he was named WCHA Pre-season Goalie of the Year.

*I only know that because I wrote a MN-UND preview. That would be crazy off-hand.

The Gophers land T. Cammarata for the 2013 season.

Great recruiting pickup. Between Nanne, Guertler, Michaelson and Letteri, things are looking good. Now if they can only add Fasching.

Cammarata is the better "get" IMO, would love to have Fasching though.

That's why he'd be playing under Hakstol instead of tDon.

Not sure if Fasching is interested in learning sign language

this providence · 11-03-2011, 03:44 PM

Heh, let's be honest though. Fasching is a likely top 10 pick in '13. Possible top 5. He's not going to be in school long. Looking at a one and done type of guy in my opinion. And that's depending on who drafts him.

Not to worry, tp. I played tennis with him in high school two years ago. I'll convince him to come here

You really think he can be that good? I mean, I watched him play at AV, but I always though top 20, top 15 best. I know he has NHL size already, but still...

thats exactly why i like the Cammarata signing. Dont see any way that Fasching spends more than 2 years in college

Not knowing much about how the 2013 draft is shaping up, but yes, I do think he'll be that good. By this time next year, he'll sort of be looked at how Trouba is right now in my opinion.

the Draft is a long ways out and alot of things can change, but IMO Fasching is better than Bjugstad was at the same age.

I guess I never really compared him to Bjugstad, but now that you have, I do agree he's better than Bjugstad at his age.

Wow, if there's only one Minnesotan we can get for the next decade, I hope it's him. Nice kid too.
