On the ice UNH looks like many other teams. ON THE ICE. But Patrick took the hit off the ice from a player twice his age, in a game in which he was not involved--other than being a spectator. Was Patrick out of line? Perhaps. Was Joubert out of line? It should be obvious. Am I partial? No doubt. But it was a great hockey game. BU won. Joubert shook hands with the team and left the ice. Why was there a need to take a shot at a kid with an out-of-line mouth? That's the point. H ________________________________________________________________________________ Howard M.
