Let me make my position perfectly clear: I am NOT condoning bounties on
players. Any coach that puts a bounty on an opposing player should be
reprimanded.  I am also not making an excuse for the scuffle in the
penalty box toward the game's end.
 
I was merely stating something that I think every player for both
Minnesota and Colorado College already knows: someone will try to pay
Geranozzo back for running the goalie in 2 consecutive games.

I agree completely.
