Gophers score twice in 1:04 early in the third period to seize control.
Menefee tooHannah Brandt broke the ice with a beautiful goal for the Gophers and TTT's fantasy team
Yeah...I thought seize control was a little overstated. Not a tremendously impressive start to the series for Minnesota. While Tiger's 'tender played well I think she got some help with the shooting quality Eeyore mentioned. Too many struggling to finish on the Gopher squad right now...and throughout the schedule thus far IMO. Some sloppy play around the Gopher net also.And looked a little less in control as Princeton came storming back with a goal and several solid chances.
Minnesota wins 2-1. Heavy Gopher dominance in possession and shots but dumb penalties and some combination of great goaltending and bad shooting kept it close.
Menefee too![]()
I think Princeton has been the more aggressive team thus far, and luckily for the Gophers, the Tigers didn't convert their chances.Minnesota ahead 1-0 after the first period. Shots listed as 16-8 and Dan's commentary makes it sound like it was pretty lopsided but, again, the Gophers aren't converting good chances.
I traded away Brandt and McMillen (among others). I'm in last place so I needed to shake things up.
