No, I don't. Where did the crap appear? I don't remember it in HOCKEY-L, or
in the Twin Cities newspapers. I'm not kidding. I really don't remember
anyone making a big deal about Lucia not being an "M" man. Did I miss
something? If there was a fuss on some web-based message board, few fans would
be aware of it.

And that's just fine with me. Coach Lucia has made it clear that he will do
most of his recruiting in-state, but will also look elsewhere for talent.
Except for a few loudmouths, I don't think that Gopher fans will have any
trouble with that.
