OK, that was one weird period of hockey with 5 or maybe even all 6 goals being surprising.
UM 4 - UMD 2 after one.
Would be an idea if UMD tried to play some of the game in the other end.
Weird start for sure as UMD scored on their first shot about a minute in, but it didn't take long for the Gophers to respond with some smothering pressure.
Wonder if either UMD or Minnesota is using goalies tonight...
Both teams seemed to play most of the game with five forwards. Over the first 45 minutes, the teams probably combined for about six good defensive shifts. Neither goalie looked very good, but they weren't the fundamental problem for either side.

Thanks for your analysis over on the Gopher thread. I was hoping that someone who was actually seeing the first period, as I wasn't able to see the stream until later, could comment on that. I was only able to get stats on my phone for the first period and the goals seemed like they were coming in bunches.
Making my way up to amsoil for the first time since the frozen four a few years ago. Any recommendations for place to eat between the women's and men's games? Something fairly nice would be good, considering I convinced my wife to spend our anniversary watching hockey!

I would avoid Canal Park as it will be a madhouse of fans by the time the hockey game ends and the guy start doing that thing they do on ice. Maybe OMC Smokehouse just off the exit to 53.
That probably isn't what you wanted but if Canal is as bad as I have seen it at times it might be faster

Bellisio's...(upscale Italian) just over the footbridge from Amsoil on the right hand side.
That should keep you out of the 'Doghouse...pun intended.
