I find it interesting that White only got one game DQ.  In a recent NCHA
game, a player who left the bench and participated in a fight got two game
DQ's.  Since Mike didn't include penalties in his boxscore over on INFO-H-L,
I don't know if the single DQ for leaving the bench was the only penalty he
got or not, but it's interesting to see the difference in officiating.
