Gophers' upset Huskies in 2-game series victory

I spent saturday night in St. Cloud at the National Hockey Center watching the Gophers take St. Cloud. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, the Gophers got the game winning goal, bringing the score to 3-2.
While Minnesota fans weren't as easy to pick out in the crowd, the roar from them at the end of the game made it clear many of them made the trip into Husky territory.
