1500: Don Lucia and a pair of Gophers skaters ready to defend Gold in Sweden

per 1500:

"The difference for me is our country is the defending champs. Our team is not," Lucia said. "We've only got a couple guys that played on the team last year, so it's not like half the team is back. The guys understand that. It's a completely new group and you start from ground zero."
