  • Re: Minnesota Gophers Offesason Thread: Back To 1896

    Will Connor Reilly make an impact this year? Is he fully healthy?

    Just curious about what he can bring to the lineup when healthy, is he a top 6 type of forward?

    I see he will turn 22 in October so he's not a young "Freshman", always a plus.

      If he has a 25 goal campaign I can say he will sign a FA contract with the NHL.

        More info on the junior evaluation camp from Gophersports:

        http://www.gophersports.com/blog/201...-make-cut.html

        USA Hockey trimmed the National Junior Evaluation Camp roster from 44 players down to 31 earlier this morning with four Gophers making the cut for the final week of camp.

        Defensemen Brady Skjei and Michael Brodzinski and forwards Taylor Cammarata and Hudson Fasching are among the players who made the cut and will take on Canada (Sat.), Finland (Thurs.) and Sweden (Wed.) later this week.

        "The whole point is for us as a staff to have the best evaluation and the best reads on these kids at the end of the week. Even though some kids are getting sent home doesn't mean they aren't candidates to make the team," Lucia said. "Certain guys have played their way to a spot to be kept and other guys we just want to get a better read."

          Neither of which is going to happen in the next year.

            That means if he stays 4 years he will be a 26-year-old senior. When's the last time the Gophers had a player that old? Steve DeBus?

              Wow, people still interested in the Gophers. With the BIG 10 HC, I thought Shattuck would be a more interesting team to follow ...

                As always, the Gophers have a lot of talent coming in. One of the real benefits Gopher fans have is being able to look forward to seeing some serious new talent each year. At goal and forward, especially, first year players can excel and make a real difference in the team's success.

                Of course, they will always be Gophers, but a fair number have managed to overcome that flaw in the past.

                      Watched the USA World Junior team clobber heavily favored Canada 5-1 on Saturday afternoon in the final game of the 2013 World Junior Evaluation Camp. USA's special teams and some superb goaltending by Jon Gillies (Providence) were the difference in the game, scoring 3 PP goals and adding a shorty in the second period. The real highlight on special teams was the penalty kill, which was perfect in shutting down Canada's PP advantage 8/8 times.

                      Both Gopher players, sophomore Brady Skjei and freshman Hudson Fasching, were frequently on the PK together throughout the game. Fasching is an impressive power forward and picked up a nice assist on a rink ice pass to another one of DU's Shore brothers, Quentin Shore. Hudson Fasching impressed me as a very strong skater with a powerful stride, he's not afraid to use his size to dig along the walls and corners and hang tough in front of the net, overall a good two way player, excellent full ice vision and showed good stickhandling and playmaking ability. A very promising frosh power forward for the Gophers next season.

                        I think this may have been posted before, but Hudson Fasching's story is an interesting read in case you haven't seen it.

                              There's been some amazing WCHA F5 games over the years that will be hard to eclipse; and I'm sure many fans will still miss it for a while. But I'm excited about this B1G tournament. New rivalries will form, old rivalries will be reignited and the B1G will eventually add a couple more teams too. I agree this tourney will be at least as good or if not better than the F5.

                                Now if you could just get more than two good teams.
