No it isn't, but heck, what would you expect from a Wisconsin fan?
(Oops, sorry)
 
I don't think that most hockey fans would take this all that seriously
due to the fact that he says he doesn't think Woog is a good coach.  I
don't have the numbers in front of me, but the Goph's have to be running
pretty close to a 70% winning percentage since Woog has been at the
helm.  I don't know of a lot of other teams/coaches that can claim this
kind of success on the ice. They haven't won the title, but isn't it 7
or 8 straight years in the NCAA's?
 
Regardless, the gophers run a great program that not only produces good
hockey players, but good students and good people.  Isn't that the whole
idea of college athletics?  (Or at least what college athletics should
be)
 
Go Gophs!
