Somebody from Hockey East needs to contact the Associated Press on
this point.  I noticed that the AP listings from the first weekend
listed "SO" wins... however, last week and this week, the shootout
winner is shown as winning by 1 point.  (For example, the AP
scorelist that Lynn posted this morning showed Mass-Lowell 8, BU 7.)
 
As it stands now, fans around the country are getting "bad" info.
(Except for those of us on HOCKEY-L, of course! :-)
