Our daughter's email recap of Sioux at Minny on Saturday January 27, 2007, while we were on a cruise.
Hello Parentals:
First Period:
Both teams came out strong and Minnesota made clear their intentions to play rough with anger by trying some pushing and stuff after the very first whistle. The game was pretty even for the first half of the first period and then North Dakota scored the first goal (Zajac). Wooooooooooooo. A couple of minutes later North Dakota scored again (Duncan). Yaaaaaaay! Then the penalties started. Apparently, we hadn't learned much from the game last night. Basically, the rest of the first period involved the killing of penalties followed by more penalties all on our part of course. Minnesota scored on a 5 on 3 to make it 2-1. Then Minnesota scored again and again. Two of their goals were on power play. So it was 2-3 towards the end of the period. Then with a minute or two left. Bina cleared the puck from right next to our goal. It bounced down the ice right on net and bounced right over the goalie's leg! HA HA HA HA! It was possibly the best goal I've ever seen.
Second Period:
Briggs is in playing goalie now. The other guy was probably too busy crying with shame to play this period. Aha the first penalty is on us of course. Interestingly Finley has not even been in the box yet. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Penalty Us. Successfully killed. Penalty MN. (only their 3rd of the game) Duncan scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-3. Fabian Goal only seconds later!!!!!!!!!! 5-3. coincidentals 4 on 4. oops penalty on duncan. 4 on 3 for a minute. now 5 on 4... successfully killed. Then of course another penalty on us. Successfully killed to bring us into the 2nd period break. Bina got the hit of the game. and though MN had many chances this period they did not score. woot
Third Period:
I hate when announcers call the puck a biscuit. Penalty on VandeVelde 2.5 minutes into the third. Our 10th penalty. Successfully killed. Penalty on MN shortly after ours is killed. Oshie SCORES!!!!!! 6-3. oh he's so cute. Trivia: What 3 WCHA teams have never shut out the gophers at home? A: Alaska, Minnesota St. and UND. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Oshie SCORESSSSSSSSSSS! And the fans are putting on their coats with 8 minutes left in the period. 7-3. Penalty on Finley. Successfully killed. Gophers look demoralized, just the way I like 'em. The crowd is cheering Overrated. I am guessing the Sioux fans are the ones yelling as they seem to be the only ones left in the arena. Fight! with 17 seconds left. someone's a poor loser. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! WE WON!!!!!! Suck it Gophers! 7-3 ! A Sweep! woohoo!
