Adam Wodon and I noticed that Mike Noeth, who worked all three UVM/Princeton
games, would make a little hand motion to indicate when he thought
someone was taking a dive -- St. Louis drew Noeth's disbelief a few times,
usually when St. Louis tried to split the D and realized he wasn't going to
make it (of course, he did make it often enough -- 5 goals in the series,
two on bursts up the wing and around a defender).
