Typical of his goals with State – lots of hustle and drive, not long-distance sniping. He checked like a demon all during college.

I knew Red Wings fans would love him. 🙂

He’s a great character guy and one I’m sure the Griffins will be happy to have around for years.

Great write up, now lets get this season started.

Hope we get to see him called up and playing late in the season when the division and #1 seed are all locked up. Smith in ’11! Is it too soon to start campaigning for him now?

It was just my love of the Badgers and my “anyone but Ericsson” attitude that hoped he would make the team this year. I’m happy with the knowledge that he will eventually.

Nice write up.
