The vote took place after two periods of the MSU-UW game. Wisconsin did not
have a player who deserved to be on the team. MSU's best forward might have
been Taylor Clarke. Did he deserve recognition over Bonin, Hilton or Kraft?
Don't think so.

Now, given this, one has to wonder.  Did the people that picked the "all-
tournament" team even bother sticking around the Bradley Center for the MSU-
Wisconsin game on Saturday night, or did they pick the team after the third
game?  Better yet, did they even show up at the Bradley Center to watch the
games or did they just mail them in from home?
 
(No offense intended to those players picked, but there were FOUR teams in
the tournament, guys, and Minnesota won two one-goal victories.)
