UNH had six full power plays, including 1:38 (1:37 to start the third
period) of a 5-on-3.  BU had one full power play and parts of two
others.  As for the "obvious interference" against Bekar, it was not
called, so maybe it was not "obvious" to everyone, including the
officials.  And yes, I was at the game.

Thanks, but it is unlikely I will be posting to the list again
anytime soon.

No.  UNH got a goal because of a slow whistle on 14 November and did
not get a goal because of a quick whistle on 12 December.
Furthermore, I doubt it was the first time, or will be the last time,
a quick whistle prevents UNH (or BU, or any other team) from getting
a goal.

There is no reason to apologize, errors occur.  I just wanted to
mention the correct spelling.
