Really?  Is that where the Gophers got it from? (heavy on the :-)!)
Interesting that the father of Minnesota hockey, indeed, perhaps of US
amateur hockey (which prides itself on no fighting in college), is
partly remembered for his mean fists! :-)

1) Is that US destroyer still afloat? :-)
2) If they signaled this before the game, I'd like to know who was on
that ship so I can ask who they like in this year's Olympics! :-)
