While I think the "frickin" thing is overused, I also think that Jon deserves his own thread after being lights out in the first months of his NCAA career. I was sceptical when the Flames chose to take a goalie in the 3rd round (I didn't think they would after adding Brossoit in 2011 and acquiring Ramo via trade), but Gillies has been impressive throughout the season ... not only did he win a gold medal with Team USA in the WJC, he has also been spectacular in the NCAA:

9-6-2 (they are 0-2-1 without him), 1.95 GAA, .931% svs, 3 SO

Posting numbers like that is impressive, even when you're a senior ... but considering he's a freshman and the Friars aren't a top team in the NCAA, I have high hopes for this kid!
