It's a big day for hockey fans in Minnesota as the Minnesota Wild plays its first playoff game in franchise history... and the men's Gopher hockey team competes in college hockey's Frozen Four. The Gophers are the defending N-C-double-A champions and play the Michigan Wolverines in Buffalo, New York late this afternoon. At about the time that game is ending, fans can switch over and watch the Wild... who are in Denver to play the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Doug Johnson is publisher of "Let's Play Hockey." He says this Wild team deserves to be in the playoffs.
