NCHC reffs for the final. I put in a message to the league officiating office that #89 for Minnesota is actually Tyler Kleven in disguise and to call anyone he touches like you have all year long.
If the Q can match Cooley, Knies, and Snuggy and get them in their own end against some big bodies they can have success.
But then Minnesota has 5 NHL d men IMHO.
So let's look at the starting goalie for the Gophers....
So....gasp....24....
And what's worse!!!! CANADIAN
In honor of Wally and Doug Woog the gophers should forfeit.
*Edit*
And he can come back next year as a...25 YEAR OLD OVER AGED CANADIAN....
The Gophers don't play a lot of teams like the Q. They played Mankato earlier this year and on the NHL sheet they struggled a bit.
The Gophs more talented, but if the Bobcats put together another performance like tonight and they've got a chance.
I know there are a good number of people that dislike Starman, but he puts Cohen to shame. Four or five times already I've thought "are we watching the same thing?"
Just seems like a game that Michigan will hang around in all game and find a way. The Q needs to bury their looks because they've had the better of them.
