They need to find goal-tending, defense, and more than one line. Other than that, they could have a great year.

So yes, they are the best team in the WCHA.

after what i saw this past weekend i think that the minnesota gophers could surprise a lot of people this year. they look very skilled and very composed and the season has just begun. i think they are a team that will get better and better as the season moves along, and could take it as far as they want come the post season.
