Gophers score again. 5-1. Rebounds everywhere. Maybe CC/Wis is on tv.

Chorney takes a cross-checking penalty. Heck, why not just start swinging your stick at guys. If you're going to take a penalty, take a penalty!

34 shots on goal for the Gophers. What do we have now 7?

Vinelli scores his 2nd of the night. 4-1.

We all feel your pain...on a brighter note, welcome to the board!

Potulny scores! I hate that guy!

My first comment on the rush was..."Oh great, it's Prpich!" Glad he passed!

FAbian scores a backhander!!!! 2-1!

Puck not frozen, but the Gophers get the whistle. Okay, it was frozen for about a second, if that.

Woog reminds us that he's a moron on the trivia question. Last team to get more than 50 shots on the Gophers. For as long as I've watched Gopher games, the answer to the trivia questions has always been one of the two teams playing, so the obvious answer is North Dakota. Woog mutters..."CC?" By the way, it was '97 Sioux team.

Ooh, here's something a new. A checking from behind penalty on Foyt. Sad that we lead the league in this area after what happened to Bina.

FSN Gomers comment that "Stafford hasn't been seen yet in this game." I hate it when I have to agree with Woog!

Other than Lammy, I don't know if any Sioux player is standing out. Someone needs to step up on this team.

Too many passes on the PP lead to nothing again.

Sioux showing that they have practice passing drills in practice on the PP.

Woog..."Ratislav Spirkov"

Gophers take an interference call (Irmen). 4 on 3 PP for the Sioux. Need a goal!

Finley and Kaufman both go for roughing, making it 4 on 4 hockey for 2 minutes. Great, more open space on the big sheet of ice.

1? Oh wait, that's a rhetorical question

On the shortened PP, Sioux get maybe 1 shot.

Woog just confirmed my argument as to why Kessel gets so many points. He shoots more than anyone else, and players pick up his rebounds. He doesn't actually set up the play. Not that he doesn't deserve the points, he just doesn't make the play everyone talks of.

Gophers take a penalty now to end the PP. That was an evening up call

Gophers score on the 5 on 3. 2-0. Defenseman went fishing and opened up the slot for a wide open shot.

FSN commentator says that this may have been the best 1st period the Gophers played all year. Didn't they say the same thing back in December after Friday night's first? Not a good omen boys! Let's turn it around and play some Sioux hockey!

I'd agree to that. I don't know if the elbow really made contact, but it definitely came up. Sioux are already on the penalty kill, and he goes in and does that. It was really a dumb move by Prpich. Need to play smarter. I'm under the assumption that he got his 2nd penalty from the head shot he took, which I thought was a very weak head shot. Seen a lot worse that weren't called.
