Popular Post burd Posted October 15 Popular Post Posted October 15 Maybe 1971; gophers in town for a series at the old barn.  Much-hated gopher bad guy Bill Butters gets ejected for fighting.  In those days, the players’ access to the ice was in the corner below the student section at the west end.  Little if anything separated the players from fans between the ice and the dressing room access maybe 50-70 feet away.  Butters gets into a fight with fans on his way to the dressing room, and we had ringside seats from the bleacher seats right above.  That fight got more attention and drew more boos and cheers than what was happening on the ice. Thats what I remember, at least, through the fog of too much booze then and too many years after.  I think Butters loved the bad boy role and performed his part accordingly.  Sioux/Gopher hockey had an All Star Wrestling flavor to it back then.  The overall quality of play on the ice is better now, but those were fun times.  5 Quote
