Re: North Star College Cup - MN, UMD, MSU, SCSU
I didn't hear comments about SCSU outplaying the Gophs after period one. Gophs were partially lucky to escape that period not trailing (I say partially, because Wilcox is part of the team and he played great, not lucky). SCSU scores a couple in the first and it might have been a different outcome. But, I thought the Gophs had the edge in the remaining periods. And the announcers commented on the Gophs closing the gap in shots on goal in the later periods. Blow SCSU off the ice -NO. But noticeably reduced both their odd man rushes and their ability to hold the zone, while increasing their own opportunities and O zone time.This is rich considering Mazzocco, Gorg and Chorske all seemed to say St. Cloud was out playing the Gophers.
The Gophers are probably one of the top 2 teams in the country, have a great goalie and their players have a knack for getting pucks in the net. But to act like they blew the Huskies off the ice tonight is absurd.
