I have figured out that there two scenarios for the 1993 Tournament. The first scenario is the more realistic one.Here goes:For a Breakdown of each game, read on. If this doesn't interest you, move along. Remember, this is written by a lifelong Gopher fan, and current Brown Bear fan. I'll begin in the East, where Minnesota plays Clarkson. Coach Woog appears to have changed the team's goals of winnning the regular season and taking a sjot at the tournaments. He Finally led the Gophers to the WCHA Toiurnament championship and WON! However, they face off against what I see as the hottest team in the country, Clarkson. The Golden KNights come off a powerful weekend where they proved that they are back. Those guys that suited up at the beginning of the year left, and were replaced by the real Golden Knights. IN a tough game, I see the Gophers pulling on eout of the hat. Unfortunately, they face Maine. Maine is unstoppable, and do what they've done all year, win. IN the Northern Michigan-Hahvahd ;) game, I see the biggest mismatch of the preliminary round. The true Cinderella team, No MIch., loses to a team ready to avenge their loss to Brown. IN the third-place game of the ECAC tourney, Haravrd killed RPI's hopes. Against No. Mich., Haravrd tears on, and I think they'll easily skate away with a victory. This sets up a great game for the tournament, and a definite sell-out crowd. You'll have Harvard playing Boston University in WOrcester, MA. For convenience, Haravrd skates away with a victory, placing them in Milwaukee, against Maine. In the West, we see Miami vs Wisconsin. Contrary to what many believe, this will be a close game. Miami may be good, but Wisconsin always seems to turn it up a notch during post-season. Look for this to go into overtime, with the Badgers moving on to play Michigan. Against Michigan, the Badgers turn it on even more, and send Michigan home to watch their B'ball team win their tournament. Here's my game. Brown vs. Minnesota-Duluth. Unfortunately, neither team will get much fan support. however, the Badger faithful rally around UMD to get rid of that pesky team from Providence. Incidently, UMD did not fare well in post-season, but the selection committee probably did not want the embarrassment of leaving out regular season champs. Unfortunately for the Bears, Derek Plante is too difficult to contain. UMD ends Bruno's run for glory and faces Lake Superior State in the second round. The Lakers are on a roll, and easily hand UMD a defeat. Well, that leaves Four headed to Milwaukee. We have Harvard vs. Maine, and Wisconsin vs. LSSU. Maine rolls over Harvard, and Wisconsin battles out a victory. In the final, I see Maine ending Wisconsin's dash, 4-1. Maine is too strong this year. I hate going with the favorites, and it is even more difficult accepting Wisconsin's success. Well, my next scenario would only take place if God took off for two weeks and said, "Well, Eduardo, you're in charge of the miracles while I'm gone." IN that case, we will see Brown beat UMD, and beat LSSU for the second time this year, and then defeat the Badgers to face....Minnesota. The game against Maine has funny occurrances, and the Gophers end up defeating Harvard. I get my Minnesota-Brown final, and it goes into double OT, where Brown finally puts one past Newman, and people in Milwaukee see the great plays by future Dallas Star, Geoff Finch. PLease don't ridicule me. I NEVER imagined that I could levae Mpls and actually be able to cheer my school in hockey. I'm just happy we're there, and I wish the best of luck to all. As for the disgruntled RPI fans, I'm sure we'll see you next year, along with Cornell. Too bad though, because the Gophers will be next year's equivalent to Maine this year. Good Luck to all, and everyone remember, it's a game of sport, for entertainment and fun! Hasta Luego, Go Bruno! L. Eduardo Romo III Go Gophers! [log in to unmask]
