"What happened with Spencer is, some of the pucks that went in for him [as a freshman] didn't go in for him, and then he probably put too much emphasis on [the thought] that if he didn't score he didn't play well," Cavanaugh said. "That wasn't the case. He was a much better defensive player. He thought his value came in scoring goals, not his overall game, and at times he probably didn't play as well as he's capable of because he was thinking he was letting the team down by not scoring."
