I spent much of Saturday night w/the Rosen siblings watching Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey go neck & neck w/#1 North Dakota @ the X before Grant Potulny put the Goph's ahead for good with just over six minutes remaining in the third period. By taking the WCHA title from the top-ranked (and unfortunately named) Fighting Sioux, Minnesota is likely to get a #1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament, where they will seek to make Pat Riley proud as they pursue a third consectutive national title. Unlike that other tournament, which I used to have much love for (but now know very little about), the hockey tourney still has some continuity year-to-year to keep me interested, which I am.
