The rules were very different back then!!!! I remember 1 Gopher game where all 5 players paired off. Mike Stone just trashed his Gopher, threw him face first on the ice, jumped on his back and continued to give 2 or 3 more love taps. Finally, he got off him and just skated away. The Gopher just laid on the ice propped up on his elbows looking like he was questioning why he ever took up this sport.
All 10 guys went to the sin bin and 5 minutes or so later they were all back out playing.
Go Sioux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
