From what it looked like on Television EJ domianted last night. Just controls the play out there and seems to be doing everything well. Barriball is a little fiesty one but looks like he has a knack for the net and pucks just find his stick. I think it will be awesome to see him as a senior. When you watch the games people always generally tend to notice the forwards play because it is on the offensive side of the puck, but if you watch the little things Johnson does as well as Goligoski it is so fun to watch. My top three:
1. Johnson and Okposo...two completely different animals, but dominating in the ways they are supposed to.
2. Barriball- Really finding the back of the net. Fun to watch.
3. Teddy Purcell-plays at Maine, really having a good start. Can really set up and dish the puck well.
Okposo and Barriball have been light years ahead of all freshman.
I've seen nearly every Minny game so far and EJ has impressed me more than either. It's harder to stand out as a defenseman, and when he does he just absolutely dominates the ice.

Yeah so i hear Fischer is improving. What do you think?
Is Derrick Lapoint playing also in a league part of the NCAA? Because he is putting numbers there, but it's hard to evaluate if its that good since I don't know the league he is part of.
This is a classic college hockey post. Everyone highlights the NHL prospects or the players playing for the top college teams. Some that are being overlooked:
DaveG: In answer to your BG question, yes I have. Anything in particular you want to know about Kantola?
