Anyone think seeing parise in a green and white #11 jersey will trigger some PTSD from gopher fans?

Not so much. The 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons went ok for the Gophers. I would imagine you would get the same feeling everytime you see Grant behind the Gopher bench. Recruiing is a battle just like a hockey game. You are not going to win them all. When one recruiting battle is over you go on to the next one. Over the years Minnesota has expanded their recruing areas. Condon from Wisc., Warning from Mo. and next season Guertler from Florida. Gopher will always get the bulk of thre players grom the home state, but you have to go out add a few pieces from other areas. Last year we got the Gertlers, Cammaratas and Kloos. This year you got Gersich & Poganski. Next.

According to Grant's dad UND never recruited him.

100% true. Grant will tell you the same. Grant did not fit the mold of Blaiser's teams. Blais built teams around skating and speed. Grant Potulny has a lot of talents for hockey, but skating and speed are not at the top of the list. His intangibles, especially leadership, really were difference makers for every team he played on.

5 goals and 6 assists in 6 career games against the Gophers is doing work for a fr and so. Especially since it was during the golden era of gopher hockey.
