Hard to imagine Ludwig and Doocy needing any assistance.
I was going to post that...it was obvious CD felt the officials needed some advice.

5-2 win. More of a struggle than the score indicates.
Have the Gophers given up a 2 goal lead this year?

No. The last time they did was in the NCAA Championship game.

I have no problems whatsoever with 5-2 over Ohio State in Columbus. That seems like a plenty good win to me, one that I am quite satisfied, even pleased with. Any win on the road is a good win, especially so when the win is over a playoff contender.
Good win, go Gophers.
I didn't see the struggle to which you refer. It was a 5-2 game, Gophers dominated play (and the eventual scoreboard), dominated shots on goal (and the eventual scoreboard). To be sure it wasn't as dominating as a high school game with the clock going to running time but I thought the Gophers played a strong game and achieved a complete and quite thorough victory.

I agree. Coming off two emotional weekends in Madison and versus the 'Pups, I thought UM came out hard tonight and responded well after being tied. The team did a good job of keeping pucks deep in the third period.

It was kind of a strange game. From my angle I thought both teams scored a goal that should never have happened because the play was offsides: OSU's first goal and Minnesota's fourth. Overall the officiating was bizarre; I felt that overall the blown calls went to OSU's benefit but there were certainly some both ways. In the third, Menafee missed a wide open net from eight feet away and I'm not quite sure what Bozek was doing on the shorthanded 2-on-1 with Terry.
I thought it was a workmanlike effort by the Gophers rather than anything spectacular. The only worrisome element is that some of the defensive zone weakness I mentioned before the season with regards to Rachel Ramsey seems to be creeping back into her game, particularly in transition.

5-2.
Please, please, what in the name of Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard, and Terry Sawchuk, and John Mayasich, Neal Broten and Doug Woog, and Krissy Wendell, Natalie Darwitz and Ronda Curtin, is wrong with that?

I posted this on Facebook but I'll share it here as well.
Megan Bozek shared two thoughts tonight postgame... (1) The boards in the arena are very lively/bouncy, which made for some interesting rebounds on shots that were wide of the net. (2) The high glass in the OSU Ice Rink is something that the Buckeyes utilize to their advantage clearing their defensive zone.

It sounds painful, but sacrifices have to be made.
Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Women's Hockey 2012-2013
Great for Bethany! She has worked so hard, all season, and is finally rewarded with a couple of big goals. She very much deserves the hardhat, not only for her two goals this evening, but for the complete effort she's been giving all season long. Way to go, Miss Brausen, and good luck the rest of the season!

Neither of the above, but the team awards it to the hardest working player after every game.

Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Women's Hockey 2012-2013
I tried to find a post-game quote on YouTube or quotes in "The Daily" where the players answer that question, but all I came up with was Jen Schoullis referring to it as, "... this ridiculous hat ..." The player awarded the hat selects the next recipient. I'm not sure, but I don't think that it is given out after a loss. This is at least the third year that they've been doing it; I know that I can remember talking to Laura May while she had it on. I don't think I ever saw it on Gigi. Maybe it goes back to Brittany Francis and the other seniors from 2010? Not sure. Anyway, I think it is along the lines of rewarding someone, not necessarily the star, that had a good, hard-working game that stood out. They try to spread it around, so rookies tend to get it as soon as they have a big game. Being young women, they really don't want to have to wear something that looks so goofy, but there is still a pride that goes along with it.
