What gives?
A lot of questions concerning the current
WCHA season will be answered this week
end as Michigan travels to Minneapolis to
take on the defending NCAA champion
Minnesota Golden Gophers.
For 'instance, how can a team (Michi-
gan), lose seven of nine games and move
UP from sixth to third in the conference?
How is.it possible for the top three
teams from last year (Michigan Tech,
MSU, Minnesota to be mired deep in
the bottom half of the standings?
How can a team (Notre Dame) win 12
straight and still be seven points out of
first?
Where will each team wind up finish-
ing the season . . . can anyone explain
what the hey is going on?
While the Wolverines are being hosted
by Minnesota, it must be remembered that
the Gophers are not the same crew of
last year that defeated Michigan Tech to
win the NCAA's.
PLAYOFFS AT STAKE
? e
goal is
Defenseman Reed Larson, a mainstay -
in the lineup, was involved in a pushing
match with a referee and suspended.
But, rather than wait out a league
hearing, Larson joined the Detroit Red
Wings last week, the NHL club that
drafted him last year.
To further Minnesota coach Herb
Brooks' troubles, Michigan seems to have
found its scoring eye again, pelting the
Denver nets for 14 goals last weekend.
At the same time, Minnesota pounded
Duluth into submission twice to move into
a sixth place tie with Michigan Tech.
Early in the season Michigan belted the
Gophers in Ann Arbor and skated off with
8-6, and 6-3 triumphs.
Normally a series in Minneapolis
would be tough, especially since the
Gophers are defending NCAA cham-
pions, but this is not a normal season.
Minnesota has employed the use of
three goalies this year, with Steve Janas-
zak pulling the load. Defensively, the Go-
phers rank third in the league, allowing
Goph ers
109 goals.
But offensively, Minnesota stands a poor
ninth with 101 goals on the credit side of
the ledger. The top scorer is Tom Gor-
ence, whose 30 points puts him 28th in
the league.
Right behind him is Torn Vannelli with
29 points. Vannelli suffered an eye in-
jury when Minnesota played in Ann Ar-
bor last November.
Michigan will try to exploit the Go-
phers troubles now that Kris Manery
and Dave Debol are shooting with all
the gusto they can get.
Manery will try to add to his record
setting career goal total of 101, while De-
bol continues his frantic pursuit of the
league scoring title.
Debol is currently second in the league
with 54 points, eight behind Brian Walsh
of Notre Dame.
After the Minnesota series, the WCHA
race should more or less be settled,
possibly, and then again it might not, but
that's the kind of year it has ,been.
