I have one good explanation for the penalties in this one: The referee
Graff is widely considered to be the worst ref in the CCHA and one of
the worst in the country. His calls are incredibly inconsistent and
there is often no method to his madness. During the first period it
looked like he wanted to take control of the game. As a result, there
were two different occasions where the teams were playing 3 on 3 (with
none of the penalties being offsetting!!!). To my recollection, neither
team took too many foolish penalties throughout. Actually it's a shame
that this one wasn't televised by Prime or someone else; it was one of
the better games I've seen all year.
