I couldn't agree with Howard more.  I was expecting Regan to get *at least*
an honorable mention, and even POTW, despite the two losses.  What
impressed me as much as his play was that on both nights I saw him pull one
of his own players away from a UNH player, preventing a tense situation
from escalating.  I felt that in a series where his teammates did not
conduct themselves in the most sportsmanlike manner, he stood out.
