Another Gopher Perennial AHL All-Star

The Breck Girl recently signed with the Boston Bruins. This means he will join Phil Kessel on that squad - they were both part of the highly-rated Gopher freshman class of 2005-06. You know, the one that ultimately didn't perform as well as North Dakota's, but for a Sioux fan to compare the classes early in the season was blasphemy to Gopher fans. Apparently the Bruins have a need for physically soft forwards who don't play defense. This also means that Wheeler and Kessel will be a stone's throw away from Worcester, home of Holy Cross, an opponent that will always define their college careers. Think they'll go check out some Crusaders games?
