Hirsch

[8-Ball]

Just heard Hirsch is gone for the season and trying to get a "medical red-shirt"? Is this guy o.k. upstairs, or what the heck is going on? Remember last year when he was demoted after the display at center ice when he broke his stick? Anyone have any correct info on what it is? He is a great playmaker and the Gophs will miss him alot. I wonder if Donny will welcome him back next year, or has he grown impatient w/ him?

"We're certainly going to miss having Tyler in the lineup this season, but we fully support his decision to take the year off and apply for a medical hardship waiver...We look forward to his return next season." That is a quote from Lucia. He is definetly going to welcome him back next year as he should.

Not disagreeing w/ you. Just curious as to what happened...

[tashit]

I didn't think you were disagreeing, sorry if I sounded that way. I don't think anyone really knows what happened.

[8-Ball]

Not a problem. They will miss his playmaking ability, for sure. I too hope he is back on board next year.

[tashit]

Yes they will miss his playmaking ability and I will miss watching him, but hopefully he'll be back next year. We do have a great bunch of freshmen to watch this year though.

Hirsch will never play for the Gophers again.

How do you come to that conclusion?
