Look forward to seeing Grimaldi take Bjugstad out of the handshake line this year.

Lethbridge just isn't that good this year. They had played 6 games prior to this 3 game exhibition stretch, and I think they only managed 1 or 2 wins. So they should have been fresh for the first 2 nights of games and the UNO game should of been the big blow out if there was going to be one based on being tired/travel/etc.

Dirty, most of the time your quips are at least somewhat amusing and relevant, but I have to say it warms my heart when you step up to the plate, take a swing, and whiff completely like you did here. There's so many things that could be said aboutther level of stupidity regarding your statement, but I think Slap Shot pretty much hit the nail on the head, squarely and succinctly. Enough said. Now kindly go back to your mom's basement and keep quiet.

Freshmen preview from Gophersports, Brady Skjei

http://www.gophersports.com/blog/201...ady-skjei.html

After two seasons with the U.S. National Team Development Program, Brady Skjei was able to achieve one of his dreams when the New York Rangers selected him in the first round (28th overall) in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

This weekend, he'll take on another dream when he laces up his skates for the first time as a Golden Gopher.

We recently caught up with Brady.

Being from Lakeville, what does it mean to be a Golden Gopher?
"It is awesome! I have been dreaming of it since I was a little kid. I can not wait for the season to start."

What did you learn or take from the experience from the U.S. National team Development Program?
"The experience went very well. I think it made me a much better player. I don't think I would be the guy I am today if it was not for that program, I have nothing but good things to say."

With the USNTDP you were able to win the gold medal at World Under 18 Championship. Thoughts....
"It was awesome! It was four-in-a-row for our program, so it was big. We worked two years for that goal, so getting it was awesome."

You were selected by the New York Rangers in the first round of the NHL draft. Personally, what does it mean to be a first rounder?
"It is a dream come true, but it is all about what you do after the draft. I am focused on this year."

Did you pick up any tips at Rangers development camp?
"The coaches taught me some things for sure, but just to experience New York City was a good time."

Best part about being a defenseman is...
"I like taking the puck up the ice and seeing everyone in front of you, that is my favorite part."

Favorite pregame meal?
"Chicken parmesan for sure."

If you were not playing hockey, what sport would you be playing?
"I would probably play football. My family all played football. My grandpa and uncle played (at Minnesota). I used to be a quarterback in Lakeville, so I would say football."

No. By the way, is that your HS pic? Very prepeeee....

People who get pumped up by The Rock are usually 14 and have issues they take out on their neighbor's cat with a BB gun.

And the fact you don't know who that is doesn't surprise me... he must not run a big pro-motorcycle campaign

I don't know what you're talkin' about. Better check the post again. I believe I asked you about your lame High School prepeee... looking mug shot you're using as an USCHO avatar. Thanks for proving how dumb a person can be and still breathe.

Who cares about the WWE? Seriously...

Of course it isnt like there was a game or anything to talk about where the Gophers smoked MSU

Euroclown brought it up... Fantastic game tonight, only question marks are what will Wilcox look like in goal tomorrow night and will the Gophers respond with the same effort for a complete 60 minutes? They coasted on their lead in the third period last night and gave away scoring chances to Sparty.

Fasching looked very good against UND last night. Very good.
