College Hoops and The Caps beat the best

A few interesting happenings from last night in the world of sports:

• First, check out this D-III college basketball score. Thats right... Lincoln University beat Ohio State Marion, 201-78. Thats more than 5 points a minute scored by Lincoln. I also thought it was weird that apparently there is a school named Borat. ("The previous largest margin of victory in a Division III game was 112 points, set by Eureka College in a 149-37 victory over Borat on Nov. 29, 1989.")
  
  
• The Caps beat the "Eastern Conference leading" (Comcast SportsNet drove that point into the ground) Buffalo Sabres, 7-4. The Caps started well by scoring 3 goals in the first eight minutes. Buffalo's first goal came with about 5 minutes left in the first period. In a fluke play, Olie Kolzig went to fall on the puck with his catching glove and, instead of covering it, he squeezed it (like a watermelon seed) into the net.
  
  Alex Ovechkin was ejected in the second period for a hit on Daniel Briere, which sent Briere head first into the boards. However, unlike Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, I don't think the hit deserves "disciplinary action." Briere had just passed the puck and Alex hit him square on his back, with Briere about 5 feet away from the boards. It was a perfect distance for Briere to fall and take the brunt of the fall with his head on the boards. It was a scary hit but I fail to see how this should result in any action by the league.
  
  In fact, I was even surprised to see Oveckin ejected. Most boarding penalties come as a result of a hit in which the player hits his head on the boards. Most of the time they are so close to the boards they can brace themselves enough to take some of the fall with their arms (since they put their arms up on the boards). Briere, however, was at such a distance that he really could not prevent his head from hitting first and doubt Ovechkin planned anything more than just a check to the back. But I guess we'll see if the league sees it otherwise.
