If the North Dakota Souix sweep the Gophers this weekend (highly unlikely,
but still probable), the Gophers will find themselves firmly in 5th place
in the WCHA.  This would raise a couple of interesting questions:
 
1. How can a team with "three Hobey Baker candidates" (Brian Bonin, Dan
Trebil, Mike Crowely), "four all Americans" (add Ryan Kraft)- so says coach
Doug Woog, find itself firmly in the middle of the WCHA?
 
2. What does a middle team in the WCHA defeating Michigan in the hockey
showcase mean in terms of division strength?  The Troy, NY Poll has
Michigan ahead of the Gophers,(or did I dream this?) posing the question
why games are played in the first place.
 
Note:  There seems to be some Lou Holz logic going around,"I don't care if
they did beat us, we should still be ranked #1.
