This Gopher team struggled mightily against UND, which is a lesser team than Union. I was saying during this recent game, that if UND won, it was because they deserved it, if the Gophers won, it was because of luck. That statement is mostly true, but there were other factors other than luck being involved. The Gophers have the best goalie in college hockey, and the coaching staff was great tonight...but, we were outplayed tonight on most ends, and UND is a lesser team than Union.
Regardless, the Gopher team we saw tonight, was not nearly as good as the Gopher team we have seen the majority of the season. We may lose if the team shows up against Union, like they showed up against UND...if the team plays like they have the majority of the season, then no doubt the Gophers win.
