Tommi Degerman did receive a 10-minute misconduct along with a 2-minute
minor.

I could detect no grousing from the BU bench.  FWIW, the loudest
complaints came from those of us in Section 10, and they were directed
at the accused.  We  were not happy with Degerman, both because of the
timing of the incident (less than four minutes left in a one-goal game)
and the distasteful manner by which he attempted to dispose of the
evidence.  Not even a president of the United States would have been so
brazen.
