Well, I've received similar treatment in St. Cloud when the Gophers
travel there.  Last year, the small SCSU band was leading a chorus of
profanities (I heard them really good as I was in the SCSU student
section keeping a low profile), I didn't really mind the profanities, as
I expected it.  I DIDN'T wear any maroon and gold though, I probably
wouldn't be alive today if I had.  Why was I in the SCSU student
section?  Well, the tickets are way cheaper and it helps when you have
friends there.
 
As for the Gophers.. Our weekend was like Michigan's to a point.  100
shots on the weekend (give or take a few) and only 7 goals.  What was the
problem?  Daubenspeck played well and made the saves when he had to,
DeBus didn't.  The Gophers on Friday night I thought played ok, last
night they were terrible.  They did have a similar shot total, but failed
to hold a 4-0 lead.
 
What can they do to not let this happen again?  Well, shoot at a goalie
who isn't playing as well and not put shots right at him as much.  Maybe
not play the defenseman up so far, keep them back.  I basically think
they were just extremely unlucky this weekend.  Hopefully that was it.
