The only other NHL team that Team USA has beaten is the San Jose Sharks. On a different note, again from the Star Tribune: North Dakota junior hockey player Jace Reed is recovering from liver and kidney transplant surgery at Methodist Hospital in Rochester, Minn. Reed who is from Grand Rapids, Minn. is listed in critical condition, UND coach Gino Gasparini said. Apparantly, Reed collapsed Sept. 15th during a road race. And an amusing anecdote from the NEW "TWINS TALK" section in the sports section of the Star Tribune: TORONTO Just say NO, eh? **:-) ;-) :-> *:-) ;-) :-) *;-) :-) ;-) Carol GO Gophers!!! WIN TWINS!!!!
