This game may become the genesis of a new U of MN marketing gimmick - the
Gophers Rally Bat! Sometime between the Gophs' first and second goal, a bat
started flying around the arena. And he/she wasn't just in the rafters -
some of the TV footage showed the winged little rodent flying only a few
feet off of the ice. Yikes!!
