The stitches are oof. Could leave a scar. He's all good, though.

There’s a picture of Ranta’s stitches floating around the Twitter sphere

The WCHA will be giving them a call about that hit and the TWO kneeing penalties on 18 in a weekend. The hit should get him two games and the kneeing should get 18 a game.

I hope it comes back to bite them in the *** in the NCAAs.

**** that team. Stauber said the same thing I did after the game. Good luck finding a conference with that kind of goonery.

On the postgame on the way home Coach Motzko said Ranta's cut went "the length of his chin". Sampo showed some real toughness getting back in there after missing only a few shifts.

But I thought that hit did change the whole game, unfortunately not in the Gophers' favor. Instead of taking advantage and making them pay they were completely out of sync during the resultant 5 minute power play, looking nothing like the team they were earlier. I hope they took something away from that experience and not allow that kind of a dirty hit to put a stop to all the momentum they had generated up until that point.
