This was the story that had everyone a buzz on twitter the last couple of days. I guess it's ok for Jacob C-Piss to attempt to be an agitator but not Ryan Walters? What the hell is that? I am sure someone will take him. One has got to think that Lucia isn't long for the University of Minnesota Hockey team.
Ryan Walters, a high-scoring forward for Des Moines of the USHL, has de-committed to the Gophers. Walters met with the Gophers coaches on Friday and was asked to play a third year of junior hockey and to be less of an agitator, according to his father.
Walters decided on Saturday that he will play college hockey somewhere else.
Walters, 18, committed to the Gophers in October of 2007 when he was a sophomore at St. Thomas Academy. He has played for Des Moines the past two seasons.
He had 21 goals and 40 assists for 61 points this season, which puts him 12th in the league in scoring.
But the Gophers apparently did not have room on their 2010-11 roster for him. [Goal Gophers]
WTF? There's absolutely no reason at this point to assume this is a bad move by the Gophers. Some sight the player's attitude as an issue and others point to the fact that the Gophers have a group of forwards coming in that look better. If it wasn't teh Gophers you wouldn't even care to paint it in a bad light. Teh Gophers asked him to play another year in the USHL & he doesn't want to; ...big f*ing deal.
ReplyDeleteBad move, doesn't bother me, the logic of this one doesn't make a lot of sense. Who cares if a kid is an agitator? If he can back it up. I think it's amusing that the Gophers programs is in shambles.
