Brainy, if you don’t snark Clumsy Snark’s snark, I’m going to tell Papa Snark.
Was at the game – the Badgers played very hard, not as well as the championship game last spring but better than any team the Gophers have played this year. They gave it everything, it just was not good enough.
Whats scary about this Gopher team is that they have not been really challenged this year & have played a couple of top 10 teams along with teams for whom beating the Gopher is their reason for breathing. Plus they are a young team yet.
The numbers are stunning: they are 17-0, they were behind in one game . . . for 9 seconds. They have the two leading scorers in the nation on the team & have outscored opponents 102-11, although their penalty kill is only 2nd best in the nation they have 7 short-handed goals, they lead the nation in shutouts & their goal leads the nation in save percentage.
We will be there for the second game against Wisc. this afternoon. It will be very interesting to see how the Badgers react – they took going down 2-0 in the second period yesterday badly & it cost them the third goal. To their credit they picked it up particularly in the 3rd.
