        Buzzy missed the spearing that almost started a major brawl.
A player from MTU sticked/speared Henderson at center ice at the end of
the Game.
        Also after the game the Fans behind the MTU Benches were jawing with
the players and the coachs, UND heckler was at it again.
        If Buzzy refs like this tonight, he may get another vacation for
his work. Maybe this time he won't be a ref anymore....
        IF MTU coaches think this is the way to play, it is a disgrace. I
know in the NHL, if you stick someone you have to pay the piper...
