The following comes from Tuesday's column by Gregg Wong in the St. Paul
Pioneer Press:
'However, Gwozdecky said last week, "There's really no other place I'd
rather be than at the University of Denver. There's no place I'd rather live
than Denver. I love our program and our players. The future is bright. All
my attention and time is focused on the University of Denver hockey
program."
But as everyone knows, a mind can be changed in a heartbeat. Gwozdecky
probably is a stronger candidate for the Michigan State job because it's
likely one of Badgers assistants Mark Johnson or Mike Eaves will get the
Wisconsin job.'
