Gophers Take Another Split

It seems to be a reoccuring thing. The Gophers get a split and another and another. With little to no offense the Gophers faced the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs with little intensity on Friday night skating to a 1-1 tie. Then the Next night picked it up in the first and second and flailing in the third. Alex Kangas made huge saves keeping the Gophers in both games. He is definitly the best goaltender we have. Every weekend Kangas gives the Gophers a chance to win a hockey game but the Gophers third period woes take a toll on the game. As the Gophers slump down their opponents pick it up with either tying the game or winning the game in OT. The Gophers did little to nothing this weekend. They will need to play better against Wisconsin.
