That’s a true story, BTW. I believe it was the Blake Wheeler goal year. One of my kids’ friend’s dad was at the game and going absolutely crazy after when he saw me.
I told him, “great win, we’ll see what happens next weekend.”
“What’s next weekend?”
”Uhhh…the national tournament?”
”Huh? I thought this was it.”
”Nope. Good luck!”
Saw him at the rink a week later after the Chris Porter goal sent UND to the Frozen Four. He wasn’t exactly as friendly.
