The obvious question to ask Don Lucia after the Gophers' third loss in a row was, are you going to make any changes?
He said that is hard to do without any practices in between playing the next game, and he wanted to watch film.
Lucia must be a fan of horror movies. How can you lose momentum -- for the second game in a row -- after a four-plus minute power play? It supposed to be tough to score in the WCHA five-on-five, you hear that all the time.
But when you are a man up, you should at least be able to get some shots and not give the other team scoring chances? That is the bare minimum a talented team should be able to do.
It's not happening, though. It is a long hockey season. Fortunes can change. But did you see the team North Dakota had on the ice? Six freshmen and no Danny Kristo.
The team with no nickname is figuring out way to win, the Gophers keep finding new ways to lose. Like giving up a goal to a defenseman who hadn't scored a goal in three years.
