Kessel returns

Re: Kessel returns

Nice interview with Frost on Hockey Day and Amanda Kessel. He broke down their power play and how much she helps. LOL! They are clicking at 48% and would be scary sick if they got any better!!

They're now 38/75, or 50.7%. So I guess that makes them 'scary sick'.

Like how the announcer dude (who typically did a really good job) said 'and now the Gopher powerplay which is one of the best in the country'. True statement that.

collegehockeystats.net shows the PP at 37/75, so there must be a discrepancy on a goal scored as a penalty expired.

Re: Kessel returns

Not having played a game in two years, her first games back are in a heated rivalry series with two good teams 30 games into their seasons. And playing games that really matter. Considering the deep end she dove into, I thought she performed amazingly well.

Her vision on the ice was great, she made some beautiful passes, and a bunch of times was very determined with the puck with excellent hands. She seemed to get tired a little bit a few times, especially Saturday

I think she slightly disrupted a power play that was 50%. Figure Frost was going all in with her, and assume she will get better over the next few weeks.

Whatever anyone thinks of the “wisdom” of her decision to come back I think she is a heck of a courageous individual.

It scared me but not her, she drove right into corners and scrums, gotta admire the courage. She made some stunning passes on Sat and caught her line mates by surprise more than once or twice. I thought she looked good in OT but it probably was a second wind. She definitely was the best player on the ice but the team needs more time together, hopefully UMD will give them a challenge and the work they need to jell.
