Re: Gophers 2013-14 B1G Things To Come!
This is a fun team. Even when they're not killing it on the PP or even the scoreboard, they simply impress me with their will and determination. To have 7 F playing with such aplomb and poise - but also from my fat-induced dent in the couch an entire roster of guys that don't appear to pout because they didn't play the night before - we are seeing a special team. Not special in foreshadowing titles but rather a bunch of high quality and high character kids that want to play for each other and the M most of all. "Teachable moments" was mentioned before and for once I don't think this team needs one. They will happen without question - they have to over a 40 game season - but for once I don't find myself calling for one due to the sense they're too full of themselves. No idea what's going to happen but...
1. Boyd may not light the lamp, but I love his grit
2. Holl imho has become the DEFENDER I wasn't sure he could given his offensive background in HS
3. People rag on Marshall, but I like this kid
4. Isaacskon continues to impress
5. Rau isn't putting them in, but continues to work hard
6. Lettieri seems lost at times. Maybe too strong a description but I expect more
7. Kloos is a friggin stud. Always seems to be in the right spot and not sure I've seen him make a boneheaded play yet
