Hi everyone!!!! I've been home for about 2 hours now, and finally waded through all the mail. First, Congratualtions to the Lake Superior State University Lakers. Second, I had a great time -- on the bus ride to Albany, in Albany, at the Hockey-L dinner, at the games, and even on the ride home. Lastly, for this short note, I will say two things about the championship game: 1. I decided at the game not to comment about the officating, because I am very biased in this case. Maybe later I will (ok, for sure I will). 2. Unfortunatly, the Badgers lost their composure at the end of the game. My understanding is that ESPN didn't cover much at the end, and TV can be deceptive, so I'll defend them and say that they regained their composure pretty quickly. 3. I just decide to add a third item: Why Coach Sauer didn't "do anything" at the end: first of all, it wasn't a brawl, and secondly, the game was still in progrss -- he can't go out on the ice (there were 2 irrelevent seconds left), and the linesmen and their teammates broke up the confrontation pretty quickly. --david -------- david parter university of wisconsin -- madison [log in to unmask] computer sciences department
