Game 17: UMD at Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS -- It's pretty simple. Minnesota is 7-0-1 when they score first. UMD is 6-0-1 when they score first.

When Minnesota doesn't score first, they're 1-7. The Bulldogs are 6-2-1 when allowing the first goal.

That said, it's a cliche to note that the first goal matters here on Friday. It does. As Don Lucia says, so does the second.

Either way, it's Gopher Week. We don't like them. Last year, we got four points in this place, and hopefully the same thing will happen here this weekend. From there, it's off to a well-deserved break.
