People look at our points scored and say "we are scoring 30 a game." Well, I'm seeing Hekker on the field more and more. I'm seeing a team that find difficulty in the red zone. There is nothing we can do this year. But, we can for next year. I see it as a top 5 need...easy.
When you don't have to defend 1/3 of the field, you can scheme a hell of a lot better on D. And, while we have had success during the season, watch what happens come playoff time.
