     !$#@!#@%$!%  My seats are directly behind the net (14th row) and
     the puck did not hit any crossbar except perhaps the one in the
     back of the net.  It was very satisfying when Luhning scored to
     make up for the earlier non-goal.
 
**It was Botterill that took the shot on the disallowed goal.  I was at
the opposite end of the rink and had no view so I won't put my two cents
in here.
 
Additionally, the Michigan Daily quoted Bubba Berenzweig as saying
"Faulkner's absolutely dead," regarding the slash that broke Crozier's
arm.  This should make Saturday's rematch very interesting...
