It was announced on a local news channel (CBS) last night that former Gopher Grant Bischoff will not rejoin the U.S.Olympic Team. Bischoff was diagnosed with Mono and would have been able to rejoin the team in about two weeks, however, after talking with coach Peterson this weekend, he has decided to accept an offer to play in Switzerland and leaves in a few days. Evidently, Peterson told him that his making the team was a long shot at best. I also heard that Robb Stauber was sent to some minor league team to get more ice time because Team USA is overloaded with goaltenders at the present time. At the Gopher games last weekend I also spoke with a contact who had talked to Bischoff and supposedly he said that some of the players currently with Team USA are very upset with Peterson's "revolving door policy" of replacing a player if a better player is available all of a sudden. It seems that very few players know where they stand with the Team and are wary of all the new blood that Peterson continues to bring in. Does anyone (mike?) know when the FINAL ROSTER needs to be turned in? I guess until that time, no one is safe. What a pity it has come to this. Carol U of M GO Gophers!!!
