come up short in that category. Who do you want to see carrying the puck when the game is on the line? There is no Anders Bjork on the ice, or has been since he left. We need to recruit some snipers . . .

Top flight goalies are now commonplace and most college hockey teams are pretty disciplined when it comes to the defensive gameplans. The ones that are going to separate themselves are the ones who can find an extra goal or two on a nightly basis.

I think this year might be kind of an outlier too in that the coaching is going to look a little different as all of the protocols are altered due to covid concerns. Who knows, we may even scramble to replace a postponed weekend with a team we hadn't been preparing for. It happened somewhere in the east this weekend with a game quickly rescheduled after a covid-related postponement. If you're playing a team you have not really prepped for you better have the skaters to make plays.
