I'm not sure that's who this team is. Look at their results through the season. A typical score after 20 minutes is 0-0, 1-0, or 1-1. They are a little like a heavyweight boxer that is probing early and starts trying to knock you out in the middle rounds. They tend to reserve a cylinder or two for the second period, and if need be, they give a little more gas in third period.
There were cameras from a couple of local TV stations set up on either side of me, and the operators were getting antsy in the second period as they needed another highlight and had to leave to cover another event. Davis scored to make it 3-0. SCSU calls time out, and they start packing up. Then here comes Brandt alone and with Menefee for the two shots they'd been there to capture. Timing is everything in life.
I'm not saying it's a strategy, more like their DNA. I don't expect that they'll come out like it's a mid-November game, but other teams know how to play defense, and sometimes you have to wear them down before the holes open up. After the last 80 odd games, I'm not going to proclaim that the sky is falling.
I'm not saying it's a strategy either. Figure of speech. Nor am I implying the sky is falling. I'll stand by an assertion that DNA is dangerous going forward against the opponents you're likely to face.
Don't know about others opinions but I wasn't really talking about anything inside the Husky blueline.
Once summer arrives (assuming it ever does), wander around until you find a hornets nest. Poke it with a stick a few times. When the swarm of hornets comes out, try dodging them while staying in close proximity to the nest. It will take some time before they sting you enough times such that you lose your will to live. That's what I envision playing the Gophers to being like. Whatever else they are, they are a bunch of pests. But they aren't like a bear, that if poked with a stick can destroy you with one blow of a paw and a quick coup de grâce. If hornets suddenly start trying to act like a bear, they may not be very good at it, so I'd rather they just keep swarming.
My concern per this post season specific discussion is more influenced by my own expected quality of opponents and potential costliness of those mistakes that are going to happen.
Stay away from Canada and Duluth and you should be okay.I'm not going looking for any **** hornets nests.
