If a power-play goal is the equivalent of capitalizing on an opportunity, the University of Denver blew too many chances last season.

I hope DU's PP improves dramatically. The talent is certainly there. It's been said before, but DU's biggest problem on the PP in years past always seemed to be too much play on the perimeter or too many guys looking to make the perfect pass or trying for the pretty back door play. Thus unit needs to get dirty. Get some guys in front of the goalie, create screens, and keep shooting the puck.
