Go Gophers!!
anybody else love how animated the ref got as he signaled the goal?
That ending was just poetry that may never be duplicated. The Gopher penalty was close under any circumstances but in a frozen four late in the 3rd of a tie game, it was a call that most refs wouldn't make. Then to score short handed, with under a second left to win it? Absolute hockey heaven on Earth.
I was talking with my buddy about that call right after it happened. I said that I was surprised that it was made in the circumstances you described, but that (ignoring my obvious desire that we never have a penalty called against us) I was glad they called it. Refs shouldn't adjust their calls based on which player is involved or what the game situation is. Reily used his free arm to hold the NoDak forward. Its a penalty two minutes into the first, it should also be a penalty with two minutes left in the third.
