I had a great time in St. Paul this last weekend, but I have to get
something off my chest.
 
The entire BU team and coaching staff left the ice immediately after
receiving their runner-up awards.  I think they should have remained on
the ice to congratulate the Lakers during their awards ceremony.  I also
noticed the fans in the BU section left before Lake Superior received
their awards.
 
I think this is extremely poor sportsmanship.  Whatever happened to
playing hard and congratulating the winner?  I'm sure BU was
disappointed, but they knew by the end of the second period that they
weren't going to win the game. It's not like they lost in OT on a
disputed goal.
 
Let's hope next year's runner-up behaves with more class.
