Riga coach Ewald Grabowsky (quoted in the Mpls. Star Tribune) said, "Minnesota is much better, much stronger than the other teams we've played on this trip. Others dump the puck and shoot more. I like the style Minnesota played, but I didn't like some of the referee's calls." Riga took several penalties in the third period, as they responded with cross-checking, slashing, and high-sticking to the Gophers' aggressive forechecking. Riga scored on 2 of 7 power play opportunities, the Gophers on three of eight. Dynamo Riga plays in the Soviet Union's Elite league. The last time they visted North America, they played several NHL teams in the NHL Super Series. They beat the LA Kings and the Minnesota North Stars, and tied the Calgary Flames who went on the win the Stanley Cup that year. -- Erik **************************************************************************** Erik J.
