1. Yes. Anders made a couple of St. Thomas players look silly last night, and Kerlucke is looking like the goal-scorer that he was touted to be. Tate gets my vote as the most fun to watch, however--the idea of a defenseman as small as he is skating as fast and hitting as hard as he does! Exciting, fun to watch. It's going to be an intersting year. 5. Brendan's appeal was denied by the NCAA. He says he's still pursuing it with his family lawyer. I can't wait for him to get on the ice--he was the most exciting player to watch during the pre-season scrimmages. He's feisty and has a temper, but he has a ton of talent--to the point where he doesn't need the other stuff. Rico Rossi (Northeastern, many years ago) would have been an average little guy if he wasn't so irritating. Not Brendan. He was all over the ice in those scrimmages. 7. Massota looked good last night. Whether he looked good enough to convince Walsh to give him playing time against non-cellar-dwelling opponents is another question.
