 I waited to post till Monday, hoping to "cool" off somewhat after Huskies
   were "Yackeled" Friday night, Obviously it hasn't worked!
 
   Friday night the Huskies battled back from scores of 3-1 and 4-2 to tie
   the game and send it to overtime.   2 and 1/2 minutes into the overtime
   MTU's John Young was circling behind his own net, when a Duluth player
   cut his skates out from under him in clear view of Yackle, John went head
   first into the boards, and for good measure the Duluth player hit him in the
   face with the stick, the puck caromed off the back boards and out front
   where duluth got 2 shots, the second going into the net.  We all knew the
   game wasn't over, cause Duluth was getting a penalty and the goal wouldn't
   count.  NOT.   Yackle signaled the Goal and the Game was over.  This was the
   worst no call I've ever seen in college hockey.  This brings me back to my
   biggest complaint in watching hockey,  If it's against the rules in the
   first period of the game, then its against the rules in the OT!
   It wasn't a pretty scene as cans came flying on the ice in the direction
    of Yackle at the scorers bench (these people should be banned from viewing
    hockey by the way), and people who normally sit quietly thru games were
    lined up at the tunnel the refs pass thru to leave the ice, letting them
    know how they thought of the Job they did.  I have never left a hockey game
    so upset in my life, both at the way we lost and at the clowns that threw
    the cans on the ice.
 
   Saturday night Brought us more Yackle antics.  In the first period, Coach
   Bob Mancini wanted to question Yackle about a faceoff and Yackle refused
   to acknowledge Mancini, When he finally did, It was to give Bob a Bench
   minor, If Yackle does his job this never happens.  Oh well back to the Game
   once again tech Battled back and had a 5-4 lead in the 3rd on a Goal By
    Liam Garvey,  But  UMD's Hobey Candidate Derick Plante tied the score
   at 5 all with about 5 min remaining.  Plante is one of the most talented
   skaters I've seen in a long time.  He made some moves and shots this
   weekend, that should have been impossible.  As the period wore down, the
   last 3 minutes were all Tech as they swarmed the duluth net, trying to get
   the Game winner.  Again Yackle shined as a duluth player, on his knees with
   no one near him reached out, grabbed the puck and covered it on the ice
   Yackle blows the whistle on what could only be delay of game, 3000 fans once
   again anticipate the chance to win the game on the penality, but low and
   behold, signals for a faceoff. The Game ended in a 5-5 OT tie.
 
   The Huskies played well enough to win both games, but came up with 1 point
     on the weekend.
 
    On a better note, Sophmore defensman Liam Garvey and Freshman Center Pat
     Mikesch have been chosen to play for team USA in the 1992 World Junior
     championships dec 26-jan4 in in Gavle, Sweeden.  Team USA will prepare
     for the tournament with a training camp dec 14-17th in Lake Placid, then
     will play in a nation tournament in Norway dec 19-23 against Switzerland
     Germany and Norway.
 
       Congrats to Pat and Liam, we'll miss them here for the denver series,
       but its a chance of a lifetime for them.
