I have no intention of defending coach Woog's comments, but I must point out that Minnesota's three toughest games, against the Canadian National Team (2) and Dynamo Riga, did not count in determining the NCAA seedings. I must admit that I am puzzled as to why Minnesota did not play at least one game against a CCHA opponent, but I am not sure if it is a matter of Minnesota being unwilling to play CCHA teams, or the other way around. **************************************************************************** Erik Biever --GOLDEN GOPHER MMMMM MMMMM St. Paul, Minnesota - Home of the --HOCKEY MM MM MM MM 1991 WCHA & NCAA Championships --Fastest Game MM MMMM MM BITNET: e-biev@uminn1 --In Town MM MMMMMM MM INTERNET: [log in to unmask] MMMMM MMMMM
