I was in the endzone where this all happened and I thought I saw the first UM
player stick it in (don't know who) on Petrie's left side and then the puck
slid over to his right side and I thought I saw Morrison stick it in.  Looked
like 2 goals to me, but it all happened very fast and no one seemed to put up
that  much of a fight about it so I thought the players knew they didn't
score.
 
Ditto Roger's comments about the game in general - hard playing hockey by
both teams with very few cheap shots.  BGSU is the best team I've seen play
(obviously outside of UM) and I'm surprised that they've lost so many games
so far.  They outplayed UM most of the game and I was real happy with a tie -
even though UM put all the pressure in the world on BGSU the last 5 minutes
and then all of OT.
 
Ref Sitorov did a very good job and that was a great thing to finally see.
