Gophers Blast By Buckeyes With Shutout

From puck drop to the final whistle the Ohio State v Minnesota game at Ridder Arena was fast and physical with what seemed like dozens of uncalled penalties committed by both sides. While the puck is almost always moving during a hokey game, it slid off stick after stick as the teams participated in near instantaneous turnovers, interceptions, and rampant puck thief that left them dashing from end to end of the rink. Adding to the confusion was the fact that OSU’s jerseys were not particularly viewer friendly, as black numbers on black fields outlined in a thin faint red were difficult to read from the front row, and likely almost impossible from the announcer’s box.
