Agreed, Kangas does look good. He's exactly what a low scoring team like the Gophs need. A calm, rock solid, steady goaltender.MNHockey75 wrote:Kangas is doing as well as anyone could have projected at this point. He's a top 5 goalie in the WCHA already. It's not his fault the team in front of him can't buy a goal....BARRIBALL.I predicted that Kangas would be the starting goalie by the end of the year, I just didn't see the goalie switch coming so soon. Anyone who thought or thinks Frazee is anyone good...NEW JERSEY, should get there eyes checked.

Well, maybe not.grindiangrad-80 wrote:Yeah, they seem close at times.
Keep waiting for them to breakout.
I do believe they are a little snake bitten.
If they could just pump a couple in early, I think they have the skill to score a lot more than they have.
They have been tentative, but are showing signs of more confidence.
Tonight they get 4 past Mannino.![]()

Much of the problem this year has been due to some tough circumstances that are pretty difficult to blame the coach for. Stoa getting hurt in the 2nd game, Okposo/O'Brien leaving very unexpectedly, Carman being out of the lineup for half a season, Goligoski going pro rather late in the summer, etc. I am not sure how you can fault a coach much for those things. You just have to play out the hand you were dealt for a season and make the best of it. Every coach has to deal with a season like this from time to time. Berenson, Blais, Brooks, etc... none of them were immune to it.gorilla1 wrote:Tough season for the gophs. I do think Lucia is getting a little bit of a free pass in all of this. He has not done a good job getting the kids ready for tourney time the last 3 years. Good regular season (except for this year) and bad tourney appearance. How about his recruiting?
