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).
