Gopher-Sioux Hockey Weekend

The best hockey rivalry in America is the UND Fighting Sioux vs the Minnesota Gophers...in my opinion...and anyone that has followed this rivalry understands the passion and intensity that is brought out by both teams when they match up. The WCHA has done everything they can to keep these teams from playing more often for reasons unknown by anyone...they now only play 2 games during the regular season which then makes those 2 games even more intense...The Sioux and Gophers faced off this past weekend and the games were just as I described, intense and filled with heated exchanges... The Sioux end up winning Friday night in overtime on an unbelievable game-winner and Saturday's night game ended in an overtime tie but not before the teams would exchange blows at the end of the game and a huge fight involving everyone at center ice during the concluding handshake...now that should show you how heated this rivalry is... here's some video from those games... first is the unbelievable goal and the second is the big fight that happened at the end of the game...
