    The depth at forward is larger than the depth at "D". I don't see Ness moving. Positionally he's one of the smarter defensemen the Gophers have.

      It will prolly never happen. He has great hand eye coordination and his position play is good.Time will tell if he is able to move to the next level. The kid I really like and think he could end up being a great player is Budish he is thick thru his upper body and he plays with a chip to his game .

        Budish once he gets going should be a 1st or second liner all the time and should score in bunches.

          Jupiter just posted on GPL that he's having tests today on his knee to determine his status for the year. Out for the Badgers for sure.

            He is a kid you can park in front of the net and he is difficult to move. He can be downright brutal in the corners with those big shoulders Im excited to see what kind of player he turns into . I wish we had a few more like him.A guy I work with has coached hockey a long time and has had season tickets quite awhile feels that we are getting too many primadonna type players and that individually they are or were great but that collectively they struggle as a team whats your opinion ?

              I'm not sure that's the case. I think it's been more about "near misses" on players and those players are the players that stay. Take David Fischer for example. He hardly seems like a prima donna to me but he's no where near lived up to expectations. A prima donna situtation to me seems more like what Okposo pulled and guys like Okposo haven't been the norm in my opinion.

                I agree with you on that . What we need are those players that get better and better every year and then all of the sudden that junior or senior season they breakout. Its has to be hard to always be right on how a player is going to develope at the next level. We need to have some pleasant surprises those kids that blossem at the college level

                  Agreed, and I think that's what hasn't happened and there is some luck involved. Tony Lucia is poised to do the impossible and wait until his senior year to become a goal scorer. I hope the it continues, although I understand in context it was just UAA.

                    Thats who I was thinking about, I went to the game last Friday with my son who bashed Tony the whole way down in the car and then Tony goes out and plays his best game . I had a great giggle on that one My son is 25 and can be way to quick to judge and flush a season down the toilet . I say give them time its a long season full of ups and downs

                      Hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds and he can come back and play this year.

                      The sad thing is we haven't even played Michigan yet and a key player is possibly knocked out for the season with a knee injury.

                        That sucks to hear that any kid is going to be out for the year but at least the gophers will have less diving penalties now....

                          I would agree with this for the first line.
                          After watching the UAA/UMN Sun game, it looked like Tony turned a corner. He was possibly the best player on the ice IMO.
                          I like chocolate milk and Kate Beckinsale and Lauren Graham and Brooke Burke and Elisha Cuthbert and Eva Longoria.

                              Yeah, I would have guessed that as well with his two SHG, but I didn't watch the Fri game, so I didn't know for sure.

                                I'll post this over here as well:

                                Lucia was awesome in this series. Not just the goals, but the sacrifices he was making as well. With just a few minutes left and leading 5-1 and 4-1, he was still dropping down and taking slappers to the legs/gut. I like it.
                                the state of hockey is good
