As much as this pains me to say as a die-hard Badger fan,
Congratulations to the Gophers.
Early in the season they were counted out. They came back to finish second in
the WCHA, win the WCHA playoffs and make the Final Four. From what I've seen,
they work hard, never give up, and get good performances when needed.
The Gophers showed that effort and talent will get you farther than talent alone
(Wisconsin).
Before anyone thinks I've gone soft (as a Badger fan), I will be cheering for BU
while in St. Paul. And if that doesn't work, the LSSU-Harvard winner.
Hope to see you all there.
