Gophers get 1 out of series with Huskies

I just deleted everything I have in here and i really dont feel like doing it over again so heres the basics on the weekend

Tony Lucia
Mike Hoeffel (2)
Blake Wheeler
MIke Howe
Scored for the Gophers this weekend. The gophers didn't play well at all with lsoing at home on Friday 3-1 and then blowing a 3 goal lead on Saturday to end up a 4-4 tie. One of the most noteable things was Jeff Frazee being pulled from the game on Satuday after the first period. Frazee let in two soft goals that caused him to get pulled after many glares down the ice from Don Lucia. Frazee had 5 saves on the weekend. Alex Kangas had 56 Saves on the weekend.

Huskie Players that scored:
Garrett Roe (4)
Ryan Lasch
Nate Dey
Brent Borgen
Andreas Nodl

Gophers earn much needed sweep against Wayne State

After the dissapointing Dodg Holiday Classic the Gophers came out full speed in order to sweep the Wayne Sate Warriors. With Final scores of 5-1 and 5-2 the Gophers could breathe just a little bit easier. Out of the 10 goals scored this weekend 3 were Power Play goals and one was a short handed goal. Over all I though the weekend was great. I thought was really stepped up our play and played hard. I also liked seeing Brent Solei play. He's a great goaltender and I'm glad he was rewarded. I also thought his team played much better in front of him than any other goalie. Kangas had a great night to. I prefer Kangas and Solei any night over Jeff Frazee. He just doesn't have it this year.

Gophers return to action, take 3rd in Dodge Holiday Classic

The Gophers returned to play in the dodge holiday classic a couple weeks ago. It was the start of the second half and the play off puch, and the end of another year. The Gophers took on RIT on friday night and lost with a final score of 4-3. The Gophers then played on Saturday in the third place game against Air Force. The final score was 2-2. Although the game went into a shoot out, NCAA rules state the game amounts as a tie. The Gophers took third place winning the shoot out. It was the first shoot out in Gopher history. Evan Kaufmann and Jay Barriball noched the two goals for the Gophers.
