From the Star Tribune this morning: CZECHS TOP U.S. HOCKEY TEAM Ray LeBlanc gave up four goals within a 7-minute, 41-second span of the opening period as Czechoslovakia routed Team USA 8-1 in Thursday's quarterfinals in Prague, Czechoslovakia. LeBlanc, the U.S. Olympic hero, didn't get much defensive help <oh, really?> as the Czechsa carried the play throughout the first period, outshooting the Americans 18-6. Barry Richter, a defenseman from the University of Wisconsin, scored the only U.S. goal at 8:41 of the second period. (taken from "News Services") -Carol U of M GO Gophers!!!
