6'5" 240lbs and leading his Elite League squad in scoring.... Where's the hoopla?????

Glad the gophs nailed down Nanne before he slipped through their fingers.

I have seen him play and he actually has pretty good hands. They pretty much have him camp in front of the net and no one can move him out.

not sure about skating ability at next level but boy is he big and strong

I was actually surprised how well he moved with the puck.

Observer, Watched Nanne when they played the NE team..... Let s just say that many of us found it interesting.

Care to elaborate on Nanne?

just assume it's not positive.

opinions do not make facts. Watch the kid play a year, then get back to it. I watched Benick play a couple games, thought he was over rated too. Only time will tell.

I watched a couple games this weekend and he has adjusted to the speed of the game well. He looks pretty raw right now, but huge upside. He should make a lot of noise this year.

Wonder what he thinks of going to Johnson instead of Mounds View.

Leads the Elite League in penalty minutes

So, how will Jay and the GOVS look this year? Will they compete for the top in the Tri-Metro this year? Looks like if they do, they may be in trouble after this season.

Agreed

This is Johnsons best chance to make some noise in the Tri-metro. They have a solid forward group lead by Dickman, but both goailies from last year were Seniors.

Interesting. I look forward to watching the Govs this year a few times.

I'm wondering what those of you who've seen JD play think his prospects are beyond the high school level? As I said I talked to his dad last year and the family would like to see him in the USHL next year, but what are his odds for, say, D1 or other juniors or professionally?

With his size that's an enormous plus for any player. I would just like for once more in my life to see a Govie do something much greater, like Progreba and Lyons and Eastman.

How did JD do in Johnsons scrimmages this past weekend?

Wish I knew. I wish their website was a little more up-to-date for info like that. I will have to check it to see if they have some info.

The new website:

Not too good but I just found it. I need to look it over a bit more.

Absolutely terrible site, but the schedule is there:

Jay put up a four spot (all four goals) a couple games ago.

Dickman has been on fire lately. He had a Hat Trick last night in a 4-3 loss against a very good Mahtomedi team. The Govies have some good talent, but are making too many mistakes at critical times in the game.
