No bicycling today despite very favorable weather. It's tough to miss out on a rideable day at this point in the season but my/our priorities are well established. Today was another hockey Saturday. It was time for us to do the Gopher.
Tonight's victory (9-1 yawn) set an all time NCAA record for most consecutive victories in women's hockey. It is now 22 in a row for the Gophers extending through 14 this season and the final 8 last year in the championship run. Here is how the defending national champions are introduced on the video screen scoreboard at the arena just before player introductions.
This one is actually from last year but two of the players were among the three stars of tonight's game and the other was always one of our favorites.
I especially like the bit where they call out a teammate for being from Newfoundland.

The 9-1 victory/record breaking game tonight (which was not a yawn the first period) was really fun. TT and PW (and fun members of her family) joined us in Section 12 for the game.
I love these videos and have been LOLing as I watch them. Go Women Hockey Gophers!
9-1 is a pretty lopsided score.
Those young women look Minnesotan. Clearly not Dutch.
They may LOOK Minnesotan but from left to right: Whitby, Ontario; Colorado Springs, Colorado: Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
But all three forever Gophers!
Hockey players, not they are?
Every time the captcha asks me to prove I'm not a robot, I am relieved to find that I have passed the test. Again.
