I was able to catch most of their games this past weekend. They were fun to watch, it was fast paced and you could see the effort being put forth on the ice by the players.
Besides the occasional ralley, I have not seen the Gophs play like that (consistently) in years.
Early NHL departures are a common excuse, but that can't explain away the effort or fast pace. It's hard to put a finger on it but if I had to it would be somewhere between lack of leadership (by players and coaches) and player personality. We have the talent, even with all of the departures.
