U dodges loss - and debris from stands:
Down 3-1 in the third period Saturday against St. Cloud State at the National Hockey Center, the Gophers had little choice but to throw everything they had at the Huskies.
In the end, their 3-3 tie was extra sweet, after everything the Huskies fans had thrown at them.
The Huskies gave out hand-held, battery-operated fans to their faithful, who took aim at the Gophers throughout the game despite pleas from the public address announcer to not throw anything on the ice.
"We're sick of it," Gophers coach Don Lucia said. "It happened to us last year, too. I think they had the same giveaway. It's not real smart to give something away that uses batteries."
Lucia said the players were so tired of the fans' antics that they came close to deciding not to shake hands with the Huskies at game's end.
Providing a bunch of drunk college students batteries before a hockey game against their hated rival? For the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW? What kind of a three-ring circus do you work for anyway King?
