Gophers In The Pros

With Knies stock now skyrocketing, it's possible all three of Faber, Cooley, and Knies make the Olympic Team. FML

yep. definitely one that got away. will be even worse for BC fans if they don't win it this year given they had 2 cracks at it.

Cooley and Knies took a big step this year. They're on the cusp of becoming all-stars.

dead years of lucia haunt. good to see 4 guys from Motzko tenure on that list. would suspect imo gophers see Knies and Faber make it. Faber a lock, Knies more up for debate. Lacombe and Cooley I can't really see having a chance this year.

joy of lots of brothers rolling through UM and BU recently. Lots of Hughes' and Tkachuk's and i'm sure next cycle will be multiple Hutson's mixed in. Will be a bunch of BU guys who make it if i'm guessing this go around.

kind of wild none of MN, MI, BU, or BC have won a title in the frame of the guys that will be olympians (i guess maybe they'll put Kreider on the team stupidly again; Lot of better options)

Faber/Knies/Cooley are all legitimately in the mix. Very possible no Gopher team will ever be simply that good again.

Cooley I don’t think will make it based on who the gm is. 2 years from now I think he’d make the team though. Just a little early
