Gophers Take on Badgers For Must Need Points

Last weekend was the first Border Battle against Wisconsin of the 2007-08 season. The Gophers went into the weekend tied for 5th place with Wisconsin and St.Cloud. The Gophers came into the weekend needing points and came out still needing points, with Wisconsin taking 3 out of 4 points this weekend. The Gophers came out flat footed on Friday night. The Gophers didn't seem to want much of anything with only scoring one goal. Saturday night the Gophers came out fighting getting up 2-0 after the first and then 2-1 after the second. Then the realy Gophers came ou tin the Thrid period letting a fluke shot form the blue line go in. After OT the Gophers and Badgers were still tied. Gopher fans got their first glims of Badger sensation Kyle Turris and Former Cretin Derham Hall stand out Ryan McDonagh. McDonagh and Turris had a combined 3 point weekend, the most points the Gophers scored last weekend.
