Question:  Michigan State puts the puck in the net 4 times and Maine
only three.  All goals were legal.  Who wins?   (Answer: Maine).
 
Back in Maine's Division II days, Maine did this to themselves (a
slap-shot into their own net).  I don't recall seeing such a thing,
though, for several years.  In defense of MSU's Smith, the replay did
make it seem likely that another MSU stick deflected the puck, at
least upwards. ;-)
 
Unrelated comment:  The assist by Kariya on the Wansborough goal was a
thing of beauty, similar in some respects to a pass he make to Clukey
in Maine's Blue-White game.  As a friend of mine said earlier today,
"It was a pass like those we were often priviledged to see from Saint
Paul".
 
It's great to have the season at hand,
