My Gopher Curse is Over
Saturday, November 12th, 2005
It’s about time I saw the Minnesota Gopher hockey team win this season. Everyone kept telling me all year that they were ranked #1. Blah blah blah. I watched 4 games before tonight where they either lost or tied. Not tonight though. Going into the 3rd period, things looked grim with us down 3-1, but the Gophers came back, scored two goals in a minute to tie it, and scored a final goal with 2 minutes left to secure the win.
It’s a good thing they won. I was about ready to cancel my tickets to the WCHA playoffs at the Xcel Center this March. Yeah right. I wouldn’t miss playoffs for the world. Those of you who live in the 4 M-States that actually care about hockey (Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, Mass.), you know what I’m talking about!
Congrats on your sweep of Alaska Anchorage. w00t.
