And it's been the same length of time since Minnesota played on a rink that wasn't Olympic-sized. If the Gophers are going to play another two months, they'll have to make a serious run to close out the season. Those 14 losses next to 10 wins don't look good. If we win every one of our games for the rest of the season, we'll move up in the rankings. But as the season goes along, you tend to see more splits than sweeps.
Teams get tired.
But Minnesota has no time to rest.
