By my count there have been 29 defensemen that played for the Gophers that went on to play in the NHL, past and present.
Is there a former NoDak defenseman that played more games in the NHL than former Gopher Reed Larson?
For the record Reed Larson played in 904 NHL games. 222 goals 463 assists 685 total points. 1391 penalty minutes. #8 scorer in Detroit Red Wings history. First American Defenseman to score 200 NHL goals and sixth defenseman overall to score 200 goals.
That move by Spirko on Harrington was pretty good. It reminded me of the time Aaron Miskovich undressed Curtis Murphy shorthanded at Mariucci in 97.
