Re: Minnesota Gophers 2012-2013: From Dinkytown to Steel City!
I'm not worried about the offense, or the power play. They'll come around. They have been switching up lines and playing various defenders up front, so it's hard to find consistency. On top of that, while Canisius has had their struggles offensively, they really have played very well defensively. They clog up the neutral zone well, tie up guys out front, are very disciplined on the back-end, and have very solid goaltending.
What I have been watching more closely is our defensive play. We started out shaky defensively last year too, then gelled into a pretty stable back-end by year end. Hopefully they work out the kinks and start limiting the mistakes and turnovers soon.
