As I promised, so no one will think I'm cheating, my picks for the Conference Tournaments. The number of entries right now is in the 40's, but I don't have an exact count (they've come in pretty fast). Pretty good on such short notice! G. M.

Minnesota _______________________________________________________________________________ I probably won't get around to tabulating the entrants until late Wednesday or Thursday. At that time, I will give an idea of how the picks in the first round games went and be able to give "odds" on the quarterfinals in the ECAC and HE and the first round matchups in the CCHA and WCHA. Regular season standings for the contest will be out sometime tomorrow or Thursday. GMF
