Durig the Frozen Four the Boston college Eagles led by Nathan Gerbe shredded the Fighting Sioux's defense and made them look like a bunch of pylons. Two days later Gerbe was just as impressive as he helped his team win a national title against Notre Dame. For fans of these two teams this is great news.
Goon's World is excited about watching Gerbe play in the NHL and would like to wish him good luck. Nathan Gerbe small on stature is a big time player with explosive offensive talent that will give opposition defenses fits. I think that Gerbe could have the same impact Martin St Louis has in Tampa Bay.
Gerbe signs with Sabres
by John Vogl -- News Sports Reporter
Nathan Gerbe has decided to leave college and has signed with the Buffalo Sabres, the team announced late this afternoon.
Gerbe, the Boston College junior who led the Eagles to the national championship last month, is in Buffalo today for a physical.
"As of yesterday, we really weren't sure which way it was going to go," said Jordan Neumann, Gerbe's agent. "We really had a flurry in the late afternoon."
The 20-year-old Gerbe told The News last week he was "50-50" on whether to turn pro or finish school. But he held his own during his first stint with NHL-level talent, and that may have convinced him to make the jump. He trained with the United States' world championship team, and he had a goal and an assist during an exhibition against Sweden.
"Toward the end of the year [with Boston College] and during his time with the World Championship team he really felt he was ready to go," Neumann added.
