When I was a teenager in Stillwater, my friends and I used to collect the meager bounty on gophers by returning the tails of the furry rodents to the appropriate game management officials.
I believe the Zamboni driver of Hastings Ice Arena who resurfaced the West rink following the Gophers/Wolverines game Saturday might be in the market for a new luxury SUV.
The Gophers played their tails off Saturday afternoon against the Wolverines, outshooting their arch rivals 33-14, but lost the contest 1-0.
Mohammed Ali had Joe Frazier. Magic had Bird. Tom had Jerry. Itchy has Scratchy...
The 2008-2009 Hastings Wolverines seem to have the Hastings Pioneers.
But the Hastings Gophers might have the Wolverines...
(are you still with me??)
In a matchup needing little external build-up or fanfare to boost its anticipation, the 10-3-2 1st place Gophers (in the Conference) met the 11-3-1 2nd place Wolverines in the blue and gold's final conference game of the season.
The game lived up to its pre-game billing and was an exciting defensive game. The Wolverines scored first on a rebound goal that ended up being the only marker of the game despite being outshot by a margin of 33-14 and winning 58% of face-offs for the game.
