A long way until it's all said and done, but I was expecting more. The Big Ten is weak with PSU being the second best team. Stop and think about that.
This is what happens when you show up and wet the bed against Duluth. And Northeastern. This is right where we deserve to be right now, and our talent level is much higher than 9th. This team has a focus and effort problem. They can beat anyone in the country if they show up and play hard for 60 minutes, but for whatever reason they seem to think it is more fun to take full periods (and sometimes even games) off.
I hope playing in such a weak conference does not make us soft come tourney time. The B1G is a horrendous hockey conference.
I'm a lot more concerned about self-inflicted issues we have exhibited even against good teams out of conference affecting us in the tournament than I am about our conference schedule softening us up. We have a weak conference this year, but I remember years where we played in a strong WCHA and got upset in the conference and blamed it on us getting beat up during conference play. At the end of the day, we have the most talented team in the country. If anyone beats us in the tournament, its because they either worked harder or outsmarted us.
