You mean take out Crowley, or the years Crowley was playing? A fair chunk of the reason the
Gophers defense was good were a couple of guys named Zwakman and Wasley. And a bunch of
fine back checking forwards, led by Nick Checco. Minnesota made two Frozen Four appearances
in the mid-90s riding team defense.
