Minnesota @ Michigan State: 12/6 & 12/7

No arrogance intended ( it just comes naturally?? ) My points were that I think the Gopher coaches should not tinker too much because I think we played pretty good in a place and on a rink size on which we have not always done our best. I honestly think that we were clearly better in most aspects of the game. I did mention that the Spartans are pretty good. That being said, if the Gophers don't come away with 3 points tonight, the trip to Michigan will be a faliure.
Now, you just unbunch those green & white undies and sit down for (hopefully) another great hockey game.

Better check my allegiance again. Neutral comments.

Hardly. Puck possession, offensive zone time, special teams play, to name just a few. The Gophers controlled a vast majority of that game. They just didn't capitalize. Credit to Sparty to blocking a bunch of shots, clogging the front of their net, and taking advantage of their few quality looks.

Same type of game so far today, and it's 2-0 Gophers thru one period. I'm all for crediting an opponent, but let's not blow sunshine here. Sparty stole that tie last night, then earned the shootout win.

Agree whole heartedly on your comment on that being how hockey is though. Nothing we can do but tip our hat to Sparty and try and do a better job of converting today.

Those things were all fine, but once again if it doesn't register on the scoreboard it doesn't mean a thing. It did on Saturday, but I am quite sure the Spartans are happy with two points against the #1 team in December.

Great effort by the Gophers today.

Think they're passing out a few ice packs in the Spartan locker room?

I can say with some authority that blocking shots is no fun. I give the Spartans a lot of credit for that. I didn't like giving up any points this weekend but better MSU than those stinkin' badgers.

No argument there. My only contention was with your statement that the only area of the game the Gophers controlled the game was with shots on net. I absolutely credit Sparty for doing what it took to keep the game close and make their opportunities count. They played much better than I thought they would.

No. Walmart Spartans don't attend any of the on-campus sporting events, nor realize MSU has a hockey program.

Even though they burned some stuff, I wouldn't put them at the level of hockey ignorance of the UW athletic department's leadership team. They come from Michigan not Wisconsin. They must have at least some knowledge of hockey.

True. However if they need some lessons in proper HOCKEY rioting, they came to the right place.
