Playoff predictions:

As much as I would like to see the Sioux win, I think Minnesota will
play Duluth for the championship.  I know that Gino has skated the
Sioux very hard since I was back for the ND High School Tourney last
weekend.  The Sioux have Gord Shervan back from the Canadian Olympic
team but I doubt they will beat the surging Gophers.  WCHAers say
that Duluth has the horses in the forward lines and will not be
denied.  I concur but since hockey is such an unpredictable game ...
The East is not making great waves so at least 3 should go to the
NCAAs from the WCHA this year.

Note: If Duluth wins this weekend, they will not play the championship
in Duluth - scheduling snafu!  If they play Minnesota, they will play
at the St. Paul Civic center.  If they play North Dakota, the game is
scheduled for Williams Arena (Gopher home).
