That bothered me too. Tha fact that Adam called that with 2:03 left in OT is insane. After all the crap, by both teams, during the game Adam finally finds his stones and calls that?? Was it a penalty--yes, but again it goes back to trying to give the Gophs once last chance to salvage their season when all the other slashing, interference, grabbing was not called all night long. Thanks goodness for Wheeler!!

Nothing else needs to be said as that sums it up! The chiasm between the player's talent and the dismal officiating in the WCHA is widening. In recent years better skill is flooding WCHA teams but worsening officiating is holding that talent back. And from a fan's perspective, games are becoming harder to watch.

He was healthy coming into the weekend, but I guess the constant slashing and hacking can even wear down the best player on the ice!

We saw the same game, but we'll just agree to disagree on this one. Regardless, blame Adam!

Zajac was sticking up for Oshie and Lucia for Anderson. Coward? I think Wooger was calling that out...on the Gophers!! Don't just defend Lucia without seeing Zajac's side of it. From however you want to see it, Anderson was trying to take a shot at Oshie as the horn sounded and Zajac wasn't going to take it. Kudos to Lucia for being the only Goof to strap on a jock this past weekend!! But was entertaining to say the least. To comment on our offense from other posts. What offense? And our PP is no existant over the past couple weeks. JPL can't win every game for us.

There is a reason way the Gophs are struggling and the Sioux are on a 9 game points streak. It is called team . You can say what you want, these two teams hate each other but it was the guys from up north that stood by each other, fought for each other and gave for each other. Not to mention that tDon is wasting talent by not each that team is greater than an individual. Wheeler is the perfect example of a "me" player. Pop the jersey at every opportunity to show how great "I" am, but when push comes to shove...head for the closest hole. Not saying the Sioux are faultless in the antics of last night, but as the Wogger said in post game "you got to show some degree of courage, some degree of stand-up-ness" . There in lies the difference between these two teams. Both are skilled but one team will go to battle for each other while one team wait for the coach to get on the ice before spouting off and looking tough. But the sad part is most of this could have been avoided if the WCHA had officials that had any courage themselves to call a game the right way so things don't getting out of hand like last night. Adam lost control with the Peltier/Trupp incident.

Only punches of the game and the Gophs wind up with the PP

Adam said "No, 2 minute minor not one."

Was watching on TV. What happened to Oshie??

And Bina has been pathetic as well

And everyone else! PP looks horrible!

Slashing

Let's see the boys come together like they did vs. MSU when Oshie got tossed.

With Duncan out, UM is really keying in on Osh when he is out there. Going to need to get some big plays from the VV line to win this one.

That might be a big factor. We seemed to get more steam as the game went along last night. Tonight??

Looks the same as last night minus Duncan

I was thinking more on the lines of 4-0 after 40

We still give up way too many and Phil then has to do what he normally does--play great.

Now I really like our chances

If we can start and continue with crisp passing and get a little jump early, I like our chances alot. Our passing and control of the puck thru 2 periods last night was less than stellar. Glad to see Martens get rewarded for his play last night with another shot tonight.

Getting an early jump on this thread , but after watching last night I think UND will carry momentum and roll tonight. Agree with the Sioux "do" and Gophs "don't" scenerio. Duncan is way past due to light it up!

And that's going to Frazee's signing bonus if he doesn't play soon and decides to leave at some point.

Agree and I do, but $40 billion??

Read today that Exxon Mobil recorded record profits of 40 Billion dollars in '07! Yes that is BILLION with a B! And gas is still hovering around $3/gal! Edit: Forgive me on the mis-spelling on the topic header Edit 2: Fixed

Barry Melrose I'm sure is looking over his shoulder!
