Sweep At Home, Split On the Road = MacNaughton Cup (?)

What was the more astounding thing that happened at Mariucci Arena tonight?

1) That the Gophers held the powerhouse Fighting Sioux to only 14 shots

or

2) Minnesota managed to provide a usable ice surface without hour-long delays the whole game?

Despite tonight's loss, I am impressed with my Fighting Sioux. Explosive forwards, solid defense, genius coaching. But Jordan Parise is going to have to sit come the postseason - once the opponent touches a puck in his zone, he goes down like (insert hooker or Randy Moss punchline here.)
