End of period 1 Gophers lead 1-0 1:11 of power play time for the Sioux to start the 2nd period Shots: 14-3 Sioux

I'm gonna keep up with my whining. Zajac was on the ice after getting pushed down. Lucia was perfectly happy pushing on him while Zajac was down, but as soon as Zajac got up Lucia backed up with his arms out like "what did I do? I didn't do anything" Sioux Power Play

And that was icing...not whistled.

Seriously, what's the point of even having a crease if a player can skate through it, make contact with the goalie's stick, and draw a penalty. Isn't that supposed to be the goalie's area?

Penalty of Eidsness for being in his crease. Gopher player skated through the crease and tripped on BE's stick. 4-on-3 Gophers score.

4-on-4 Roughing on Malone and Halgeson.

We're not doing a very good job taking care of the puck tonight. At least two turnovers tonight because of carelessness.

I saw it but it wasn't even commented on.

You'd think after all the years of filming hockey games, these camera guys would know how to control the iris of their camera.

Here we go!!!!

The Beyond the Pond guys brought up a great point about that play. Schroeder had Malone tied up (legally or illegally) in front of the net, then the puck squirted out and Malone went for it. Schroeder just stood there. He should have been puting his body on Malone. Instead Malone got two or three jabs at the puck, at which point it went out and away from the net. Two passes later we score. And that was just the first time that poor play by Schroeder led to a Frattin goal.

That was a sweeeeeet one-timer. Man, he's got a heck of a shot.

FRATTIN ONE-TIMER!!!!

I'd be on board with that one. It's not just you.

Both teams look a bit slow and lazy right now. Gotta get the energy back up. 5 minutes left in the period.

People are stupidly obsessed with it because Red Sox fans told them to be.

Only a little

2-minute minor on Toews for Boarding. Let's go Penalty Kill!

Malone is just making sure the Gophers know that while we've got the skills to score, we're also a physical team.

MALONE SCORES!!!!!

For the past couple years Woog has been very impartial (which was a change from the years before). But this year he's been noticably pro-Gopher. Tonight, he's taking it to the extreme.

SHORTHANDED VANDE VELDE!!!!!

Gophers are playing a bit more physical than I normally see out of them. Only in spurts, though.

Wow....that "white out" is pretty poor. 50% at best.

Kangas just botched another one and it almost went in the net. Crosschecking on the Gophers. 4-on-3 powerplay coming up!
