I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that just because Abrahamson was
back on the ice, that he was all right.  With the injury bug the Gophers caught,
people have been playing with broken hands and dislocated fingers on a regular
basis.  This was absolutely a five-minute slash, not just a minor.  Even if
Abrahamson was not hurt, the play deserved some theatrics to try to get any call.
