There is no lack of talent on this team, there were more Freshmen on last years team then this years team and they won a National Title. The problem is this team doesn't do the fundamental things you learn in Peewees and Bantams. Can't make tape to tape passes, can't hit a player in stride with a pass, can't hold the zone, can't clear the front of the net, can't win puck battles, no puck support, can't establish a net front presence, can't go to the net on a 2x1, 3x1, or 3x2, don't win 50-50 pucks, can't get the other team out of position on the power play, etc...
Gornell crashes/goes to the net against St. Cloud he gets 2 goals. I didn't see a whole lot of that this weekend. This was the first time I saw UND get out worked physically, it was like the team hasn't worked with Poolman all year. Wolanin needs to change what he does on the blue line with the fake shot a couple crossovers then a shot, teams know he does this all the time. They guys need to do the things the did to get UND, and stop worrying about the name on the back of the jersey or their draft pick position and start playing for the name on the front of the jersey and this fan base that shows up to support them no matter where they play. If they don't want to be here sign a pro contract and let the guys that want to be here come here.
