Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5027378, member: 6798"] We are a lot more athletic in the middle of the field than in years past. We are playing more guys, which helps a boatload with fatigue, especially in these later parts of the season. I am hoping that translates to minimal bull crap with clearing and gb play. Then of course we have a serious upgrade at the faceoff x and wing. They owned us at the X last year, which along with our lack of depth was the largest factor in us having fatigue down the stretch. That was the main reason they were able to pull away so aggressivley late in the game. Army, MD, Hop, and Duke are all big strong and fast teams by any standard. Even in the ones we have lost, I would say our problem was not getting out muscled in the middle of the field, or running out of gas. We have to execute in other areas, but those demoralizing runs ND puts on us feel less likely to happen this year, based on what we have seen so far. [/QUOTE]
