Blake Gober was a little sheepish when discussing his game-winning, overtime goal to beat Michigan three weeks ago.
It was just the second goal of the sophomore’s college career and helped deliver a dramatic comeback win against the Wolverines. The fans inside Pegula Ice Arena erupted into a deafening roar, a special moment in any hockey player’s career, but especially for someone who had struggled to see playing time.
“That was awesome,” the sophomore said earlier this week, grinning as he once again got to savor that moment before passing along the accolades to James Robinson, who swooped behind the net and fired what amounted to a bank shot as Gober was getting pulled down to the ice.
