This is to take nothing away from Brian Elliott. Elliott was superb in goal and stopped many great chances in point-blank range, especially in the second period. but even then, without a couple more finishers in the line up, who was actually going to score?
All-in-all, Hockey Day Minnesota was smashing success. Both high school games featured solid, fun hockey. The Golden Gophers, even in losing fashion, made the game entertaining. The Minnesota - Duluth Bulldogs swept the Colorado College Tigers, and Girls' high school hockey sectionals were taking place all over the state. Just because the NHL team is a heaping pile of cow dung, doesn't make the game of hockey any less wonderful to be a part of.
Happy Hockey Day Minnesota 2016.
