I saw Thompson play last week against Minnetonka and, after a few shifts, I told someone that his skating reminds me of Danny Kristo. I had a chuckle when I saw the tweet cberkas posted here. Observations: Thompson is a stud...1st line center who plays in all situations. The thing that jumped out at me was his attention to the defensive side of his game. He plays with an edge and is very engaged. No periphery play here. On the bench he was the one doing most of the talking. Unfortunately I didn't get to see him show off much of his puck handling/shooting skills...Tonka domininated puck possession time. Hopefully he follows Kristo's college path 😀.

cberkas....thanks for the heads up.

I'm curious what Menghini and Rickwood will bring to this year's squad. Anyone have scouting reports/comps for them?

Blackheart...thanks for the heads up. Got tickets for Saturday night. Go Sioux!

My #1 star for Saturday night goes to Dave Berger. Nice job on the national anthem. A great way to start a game at the Ralph.

Please stop. Not clever anymore; just annoying.

You can add Mr. Caggiula...he was up for 3 games with the Penguins in October.

Another old-timer here....joined October 22, 2001. Love this forum. Speez, if you don't mind sharing...what is Kevin doing these days?

Thanks. Now I'll be singing that the rest of the day

Great post. I love the "don't Toews me, bro". Well done Farce.

I saw Jimmy Snuggerud today against unbeaten Eden Prairie and he looked very good, especially for a freshman. Anyone know if we have a shot at him? With his dad being a former Gopher it would appear they would have the inside track.

He's still ineligible for varsity until January 28th. I saw him today playing JV vs Chaska.

What did Gardner do to receive his 10 min misconduct?
