Some excerpts from The Minnesota Daily:
 
 The officiating performance of referees Buzzy Christensen and Ron Foyt (who is
 the WCHA supervisor of officials) at Lakeview Arena over the weekend was a hot
 topic in both locker rooms follwing Friday's 3-3 tie and Saturday's 6-4
 Northern Michigan win. Christensen, a high school teacher in Grand Rapids,
 Minn., who coached Grand Rapids High School to the 1980 state championship,
 called more than 130 minutes in penalties on both teams in the series.
 
 This is the same Buzzy that called the Wisconsin-North Dakota series earlier
 in the season which was a hot topic on this list at that time. Buzzy is my
 least favorite ref as he is very inconsistent.
 
 Christensen was replaced by Foyt after the first period on Saturday after he
 was inadvertently hit into the boards when John Brill (a former student of
 Buzzy's at Grand Rapids High) checked a NMU player into the boards. Foyt was
 the hot topic of the evening and the fans, players, coaches were very upset
 about his controversial calls.
 
 Gopher coach Doug Woog said: "They don't call anything all year and then he
 (Buzzy) decides he's going to call everything, that was a big factor in the
 outcome. All weekend we get hooked, held and jabbed. If they think that's
 quality..." The NMU fans were quite vocal about their dislike of the calls
 which could be heard on the radio broadcast. Perhaps Buzzy's job was in
 jeopardy and that's why Foyt was there, or perhaps Foyt just wanted to see the
 match-up of the year in person.
 
 The banner of the weekend was a picture of a skunk in a referee uniform
 reading: "Buzzy LePew". :-)
 
 KITN-TV (Channel 29) will televise only two games from the WCHA final four --
 the Sunday afternoon match-up between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds and Monday
 night's championship game. Prime SPorts Network (PSN) still might pick-up
 Sunday night's semifinal game between the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds.
 
 That's all for now from Gopherland...GO HUSKIES GO!!!
