Much like thunder and lightning that rolls in from the Gulf of Mexico, momentum came in noisy waves in the Gophers' Florida Frozen Four-opening win. Learning to ride out tough times meant victory.
The Gophers' all-time leading scorer kept his travel promise. Also: keeping it country in the locker rooms, and Michigan's Brindley is back home in the sunshine.
It was predicted to be a shootout, but the Broncos didn't bring enough ammo, as Boston University's brother act of Lane and Quinn Hutson got the Terriers to within a game of the Frozen Four.
