Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers Season Thread 2017-18 Part II
Well it depends how you look at it...
The 2012-2013 team was far more talented than this team and lost to Yale in the first round on a dumb play. Last year's team was far better than this one we all remember how that ended. If anything a one and done format favors underdogs and this team while "inconsistent" could easily outplay a team in one game and get lucky (i.e. Robson is on fire) and get to the Frozen Four.
The bigger issue is even if they do that, what exactly is the plan going forward? It seems like Don sorta does the bare minimum every year to keep his job. While I hope we pull off an improbable run like the 07-08 season (this team stylistically is really similar imo) I'm not sure that'd be the best for the long term. I questioned the direction of this team during that year and here we still are...
