The "all-Minnesota thing" has nothing to do with the fact that the Gophers aren't in the tournament this year. They simply weren't a very good team for a lot of reasons--only one goalie and he was inexperienced, weak defense, lack of snipers, lack of development, etc. But all you Gopher haters beware, they will be back. Meanwhile some of us will enjoy watching UND coached by a Minnesotan with a number of Minnesotans on the team and four new ones coming in, including three straight from HS.
