I agree with the rebounds statement to Frazee...to many times the puck was shooting right back out into dangerous territory.theref wrote:I'm saying right now that Okposo is done after this year. He is just a force when he has the puck and he is always in the play. Seems to be very tough to knock off the puck and his hands look better than last year. Wheeler is also looking strong, especially around the net. The Gophers were giving him credit, but I don't think Frazee looked real strong in net. Alot of uncontrolled rebounds and a few that ended up in the net this weekend. I think the defense will come together since it's still pretty early. Showed a lot of grit this weekend and should be a good year for the Gophers.
Maybe we didn't watch the same games. Pat White did some impressive things out there over the weekend. Friday night, he played within himself and didn't try to do too much, but he was at least creating opportunities for his team. He backchecked well, and was solid taking draws. For a first game as a true freshman, he played well and will only continue to get better as evidenced by his game on Sat. Before all is said and done, Whitey will be talked about as one of the best to wear the Maroon and Gold.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:Congrats to Pat White & RJ Anderson on their first goals in a Gophers uniform.
With that said, I was not very impressed with Pat White's play over the weekend. I really hope it was just jitters and not a sign of the future. He didn't seem like he wanted to get physical at all and was looking to dipsy doodle his way around guys and they weren't about to let that happen. Didn't play a lot of defense either which will hurt if he doesn't start. Just my impressions.
With that said, Fairchild impressed the heck out of me. He was super composed with the puck and didn't look like a freshman at all. Lucia had him on the PK and it showed why, he played it very well. Can't say enough good things about him.
I'm excited to see what Hoeffel does this year. He's got a big body and wasn't afraid to use it. Seems like a mix of Wheeler & Lucia out there.
Nice game by the Gophs, sloppy at times, but man can they skate.

And your opinion isn't skewed? Were you watching the same game? Besides his goal on Saturday, he didn't seem to do much. Was in the right place at the right time, nothing more. He just hasn't impressed me yet.GR3343 wrote:Maybe we didn't watch the same games. Pat White did some impressive things out there over the weekend.

I disagree with that. He played very well for a third line center.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:And your opinion isn't skewed? Were you watching the same game?
