2005-2006 Golden Gopher Hockey Captains
The announced captains for the 2005-2006 Golden Gopher hockey team are Danny Irmen, Chris Harrington, and Gino Guyer.
Some people may not agree with what I say here, but I need to get it off my chest. I think Chris Harrington is probably the most overrated player on the team. He takes too many dumb penalties, his defense at times seems just plain lazy, and his offense has not been making up for it. Don't get me wrong, I think Harrington has a ton of potential, and I don't know what kind of leader he is off the ice, but I don't think that he deserves to be a captain.
Gino Guyer is one of my favorite players. He always seems to come through in the clutch. I can remember a bunch of times over the last couple of years that he has come through with a big goal for his Gopher teammates. I think Guyer will make a good captain for the Gophers if only for the fact that he comes alive when his team needs him. He seems to be a smart player, and I think he is a good choice as an assistant captain.
There is no question in my mind that Danny Irmen should be the captain of the 2005-2006 Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey team. This guy goes 110% all the time. There were times last year when he was the only player on the ice. He hits, he scores, he hustles. That is what Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey is all about.
With the exception of Harrington the captain choices are very good. I think the rationale behind Harrington's being a captain is that he is the only defenseman that has enough experience. I think the coaches wanted at least one captain to be a defenseman, so Harrington got the nod. He showed so much potential a couple of years ago. I hope that he proves me wrong, and becomes a great team leader.
