While I agree, it should be noted that Croal was a Freshman, and his game was much progressed, year to year. Now the type of game he plays, speaks more to his character on the ice, and what Jackson is trying to build.
I wonder how our forecheck and transition game will look, in year two. Will we start activating our defense more, like the last few years under Hakstol?
I feel like we have the forwards that can really backcheck.
