Well, since I am home-bound with a nasty head cold and I watched the game on
TV, you get a short Friday night report.
 
The Gophers beat the Michigan Technological University Huskies tonight at
Mariucci Arena 3-1!
 
Gopher goals were scored by Joe Dziedzic, Brian Bonin, and Nick Checco. The
Tech goal was scored by Pat Mikesch.
 
After the first period, the game became very defense oriented. Both goalies
Ram for Tech and Callinan for Minn. had excellent saves throughout the game.
 There were numerous penalties for both teams and at the end of the game a
minor skirmish began when Layne Lebel shot the puck at Gopher goalie Callinan
after the final buzzer. This was probably in retaliation for a shot that Brian
Bonin took after a whistle at Tech goalie Ram. Lebel received a misconduct for
his folly and a brawl was avoided, when the coaches went onto the ice to get
their players into the locker rooms.
 
Tech played well, considering the down-slide they have been in. I guess the
WCHA is just very balanced this year.
 
Same teams, same place tomorrow night.
GO Gophers!!!
