Thomas Vanek Leads Men’s Hockey to 5-2 Triumph over Notre Dame in NCAA Regional

[March 27, 2004]

Sophomore forward Thomas Vanek scored two goals and added an assist to lead the University of Minnesota men’s hockey team to a 5-2 win over Notre Dame in the semifinal of the 2004 NCAA Midwest Regional in Grand Rapids, Minn. The top-seeded Golden Gophers (27-13-3, 5-0 in playoffs) spotted the No. 4 seed Fighting Irish (20-15-4) a 2-0 lead before scoring five unanswered goals in the second and third period to advance to tomorrow’s regional championship game. Minnesota will play the winner of Minnesota-Duluth/Michigan State tomorrow at 1 p.m., Eastern time for a bid to the 2004 Frozen Four in Boston, Mass., on April 8-10.


Actually, I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I haven't been keeping up with Gopher Hockey since they inexplicably abandoned the right-wing, anti-government education Talk Station. But I had to take the opportunity to give John B. some crap. By the way, there's something wrong with your ND athletics link.

Congrats to the defending champs. Nice time to get hot.
