Well if they lack the essentials to win then sit back and expect that. Not sure what to tell you. The front nine on most any team is far from perfect. This Blue front line is missing 2 big components from last year and another 2 big components to injury this year. That's dang near half of the nine from last years final four team. There's a limit to all this.

Allen and the D has come through. To close out Minnesota this team now needs some scoring power from the front, I don't really care who it comes from.

From my seat, this team won't collapse. Won't quit. I said maybe a game or two and then bounce back. We'll see.

Minnesota has had them beat on paper the whole time.
