PCM Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Did anyone watch the Jekyll and Hyde show on TV last night, otherwise known as the Gophers and Pioneers? If you didn't, you probably missed something that will no doubt make the sports blooper video highlights. The second period started with the Gophers on the power play. Denver cleared the puck by shooting it down the middle of the ice. It was sliding straight toward Travis Weber. The Gopher D-man was back anticipating that Weber would stop the puck and pass it to him off to the side. Instead, the puck hit a patch of water in the slot directly in front of the Minnesota goal and stopped. It went from sliding at a high rate of speed to an instant, complete, total, dead stop. A Denver player trailing the play got to the puck first and blasted a shot on goal, but Weber stopped it. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a hockey game. Even funnier was listening to Frank and The Wooger whine about the condition of the ice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't these the same guys who criticized Blais for insisting that the ice set up when the Sioux played at the Mariucci earlier this season? Didn't Woog say that the Sioux should be called for a delay of game penalty? Oh, the irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 That was funny. Too bad the shot didn't go in; think the DU player might have beaten Webber with a more accurate snap shot, rather than blasting a slapper into his chest. May have had to slap shoot it to break it loose, however. A whole lot of bad D and bad goaltending around the league last night. At least the Sioux will not fall below top 5 this weekend. Wisco looks to have pulled together since all the off-ice problems, and it does appear that the trip there next weekend will be a good test going into the playoffs (or backing out of them if the streak continues today ).
